Thanks for the help. I can make use of that, but it's not quite what I
want to do -- I don't think I was real clear in my initial problem
statement. I want to respond to the user mouse clicks to automatically
build the shape, so that the x,y coordinates of the MouseDown Event set
the anchor for the shape, and the x,y coordinates passed back by the
MouseMove Event resize the shape. I've got it working except if the
Excel zoom factor changes. Then my transformation from mouse x,y to
shape X,Y seems to change in some unpredictable manner. I may be
hallucinating, but the behavior also seems different if not all of the
chart is visible in the window.
