Move shelled application using code

[rdemyan via AccessMonster.com]

Is there a way, in code, to move a shelled application on the screen. I've
got the shelled app to open and it centers itself. I would like to move it
to the right using code, but I don't know how. Here's the line of code I
have so far:

varAppID = Shell(strShell, vbNormalFocus)

It opens fine. Also, is there a way to open the shelled application modally,
so that the user has to deal with it immediately. The specific app that I'm
looking at is the Replication Conflict Viewer.

Thanks.

I thought you just wanted to know if it's possible.

I'll have a look in the archives and see if I can find something. Maybe
I'll get around to posting it in ffdba.com in a few days.

Yes, using API calls - FindWindowEx and SetWindowPos Try this or Google for more info.
