Aquire x/y coordinates from rectangle object

[G-Net Consulting]

Lowell:

Thanks for the reply.

I actually got it working another way.  I pulled the lat/long vars from
the DBF and displayed them that way, after I found a snippet in the
old mailing list archives.  But I think I'll try it this way, too, as it
seems more elegant.

Thanks again for the help.

Joel
