Hi Dennis, How do I determine the x and y coordinates for the cursor? Plus, wont these change as the amount of information that is displayed on the screen changes?

It wouldn't be the best for your situation. Just off the top of my head, what about the ClickAtPoint function? ClickAtPoint(GetCursorCol(),GetCursorRow(),TRUE) The True option tells it to use the JawsCursor. Again, this is just off the top of my head.
