I wanted to make the user form captionless and transparent. That's easy enough to do but a problem arose. With the caption removed the form could not be moved. One work around was to use the forms mouse move event and an API Call to hook the cursor location. Another API call is made to reposition the form. The Down and Up events are used to "turn on" weather or not we what to move the form. For the user it is much the same as a normal move process.

My idea was to use use some code like i did with my popup form (http://www.methodsinexcel.co.uk/downloads.html), and the forms mouse down event, i think it should work ok – I’ll take a look on saturday afternoon ;-) ))
