Gary,
No need to disable the browser as it's container (the frame) is disabled.
Did you replace the cross hair labels with frames ?
And ensure the browser's frame is furthest backward ?

Nick,

I reread your last reply and you said I needed to disable the browser as
well as the Frame. How do I disable the browser ? I'm suspicious becaue
the
cross hairs in no way cover the frame right now.

Nick,

I tried what you suggested (Browser inside Frame that is disabled) but
no
difference. The cross hairs do not cover the frame either. The user
might
want to get control of the browser which I could accomodate with a
button I
could add on the UserForm.

I'm no expert in this (or Excel for that matter..), but this now
sounds like
it has little to do Excel as such.
Whilst you can reparent IE to your userform, I see no way to respond
to
mouse movements (without sub-classing or something). Also, how do you
intend
to draw your cross hairs ?
I'm not clear on why you need to do this. You say "so the user can
more
accurately get values that are displayed along the borders".
So what do "get values" mean ?

Nick,

The IE browser is completely separate from the User Form. The code
to
control the browser resides on the user form which is kicked off
from
excel
after the user has set several parameters. So besides needing to
put
cross
hairs on the IE browser, the cross hairs need to be responsive to
mouse
movements on the browser.
