Dragging Lines in a Field

[Phil Davis]

I haven't been paying total attention to this thread, but wouldn't it work if your script said:

    set the loc of the target to x,y

Seems like that would be about as simple as it gets. Then you don't have to be concerned with getting or passing *any* info about the target control.
