Alex, I know what you mean, but Nancy might not.

For Nancy's benefit, the initialisation code will run each time the form is instantiated, not 'only when you run the form the first time'.

>>I haven't created a class yet; I guess this is a good time. If I do it this way, won't this.originaltop with this.top every time the form is refreshed?
