Errata...
....that should be LayoutViewState. Not WindowViewState.

Oh.....
....did I forget to mention that if WindowViewState is "list", add
3 to the horizontal adjustments?

P.S. Can't wait to see what happens when WindowViewState is
"table'.....

The 'Final Solution'...
....short of incinerating the computer.
$$WindowVert = Get ( WindowTop )
$$WindowHorz = Get ( WindowLeft )
$StatusArea = Get ( StatusAreaState )
$$AdjustVert = $$WindowVert + 22
$$AdjustHorz = $$WindowHorz + If ( $StatusArea = "Visible" ; 69 ; 0 )
Do the GetLayoutObjectAttribute and add the $$AdjustVert or $
$AdjustHorz accordingly.
SAKES!!!
It's enough to drive a man to drink.
Which reminds me...
...who was that guy at the 1997 FMP DevCon who said he did his
best work at 2 am after 7 scotches??!??!?
I'm wondering.....

I'm working with this ScriptMaker call and getting 'odd'
results when I try to get the coordinates of an object in a
layout.
Whereas the Object Info palette says one thing for left-top-
right-bottom of the object, the GetLayoutObjectAttribute calls
say something markedly different for the very same object, as
the object is 'highlighted' by a dark outline while being
addressed by the script.
Is this a bug? Or an undocumented 'feature'?
What it is is just totally fouled-up, as far as I can see.
The offset of what GetLayoutObjectAttribute gives different from
the Object Info palette OR the DDR report is +32 pixels
vertically. It is, now get this....+50 pixels horizontally if
the Status Area is hidden and +119 if it is visible.
WHO on God's Green Earth DID THIS? And is there a method to this
madness?
And if you change the position of the database window....
...guess what....
...three guesses. First two don't count....
