  Many many thanks for this.
  

  
  I had found something somewhere else on calling API procedures but couldn't get it to work.
  

  
  I had been searching for ages for something like this and am very grateful for it.
  

  
  I was trying to create something in Excel that does a screen scrape of a payments system developed in-house, but one of the pages that contained the info I needed called for a right mouse click with no shortcut-key.  Another thing required a mouse-click into a field that had neither an accelerator nor was it a tab-stop.  So emulating a mouse move and click was the only thing I could do.
  

  
  Oh the possibilities!

  I can't make it work.
  I'm using this code:
  

  Code:

  Private Sub tMover_Timer()
     Select Case tMover.Tag
     Case 0
         MoveMouse GetCurrentX + 10, GetCurrentY
         tMover.Tag = 1
     Case 1
         MoveMouse GetCurrentX + 10, GetCurrentY + 10
         tMover.Tag = 2
     Case 2
         MoveMouse GetCurrentX, GetCurrentY + 10
         tMover.Tag = 3
     Case 3
         MoveMouse GetCurrentX - 10, GetCurrentY + 10
         tMover.Tag = 4
     Case 4
         MoveMouse GetCurrentX - 10, GetCurrentY
         tMover.Tag = 5
     Case 5
         MoveMouse GetCurrentX - 10, GetCurrentY - 10
         tMover.Tag = 6
     Case 6
         MoveMouse GetCurrentX, GetCurrentY - 10
         tMover.Tag = 7
     Case 7
         MoveMouse GetCurrentX + 10, GetCurrentY - 10
         tMover.Tag = 0
     End Select
  End Sub

  
  To move the mouse around in a circle with a timer. But all it do is moving the mouse towards the bottom right corner. What am I doing wrong?
  

  
  [edit] Nevermind. I thought that positions were absolute. They're relative

  It might be a good idea to drop the second 'n' from ShiftOnn and CtrlOnn

  Will this code prevent the screensaver from beeing activated (if I just use the mouse movement now and then)?
