    Move shelled application using code

    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.

          And that might be?

              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.
