objtoclient(datecontrol,1)+objtoclient(thisform,1) works if there is not a toolbar. Otherwise I am to low about 30 pixels. Thus, how can I find the height of the toolbar. I figure that I have the same issue with the left property but lets take one at a time.

Thanks.

By adding the form1.top+objtoclient(datecontrol)+datecontrol.height to the calendarform.top I don’t get to where I want to be. It also seems to be different if the datecontrol is on a pageframe. How do I calculate the calendar top value?
