Dennis--

You can't actually use the form:



myY1 = myFrame.GeometricBounds(0)  




...yet (what that gives you is the full GeometricBounds array). Instead, do this:



myBounds = myFrame.GeometricBounds 
myY1 = myBounds(0) 
myX1 = myBounds(1) 
myY2 = myBounds(2) 
myX2 = myBounds(3) 




Also, if you want to consider the stroke weight in your calculation, use VisibleBounds rather than GeometricBounds. (I'm not sure what you're doing with the myStrokeWeight variable, so I thought I'd mention it.)

Thanks,

Ole
