&quot;Although this process may seem very daunting&quot; ... actually it does not.I've been doing stuff like this for years. I just needed the pointer to the right API, and the sample code worked just fine.<br />
<br />
Rather than messing with openargs and string parsing, I gave my form a move subroutine which takes the coordinates, sets focus to self and does the movesize.<br />
I then docmd.openform and follow that with a call to the move sub.

Oh Oh I just discovered that the above works fine if I feed GetFormDimensions() the main form, but I'm dealing with positioning the popup relative to a subform (actually a subform on a subform). I have not found a way to pass the subform to GetFormDimensions(). So I am back to square 1.

Well ignore that. I found the right way to refer to the subform. It works.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
 I want to position a popup to the right of a subform.<br />
<br />
I presume to use movesize, but that requires coordinates relative to the screen.<br />
<br />
I activate the popup from a command button on the subform.<br />
<br />
How do I get the top and left coordinates of the subform relative to the screen so I can use movesize?

Position popup relative to a command button.
