simple... use the distance formula...

+ Code Snippet

dist#=sqrt((Object Position X(Obj1#)-Object Position X(Obj2#))^2+(Object Position Y(Obj1#)-Object Position Y(Obj2#))^2+(Object Position Z(Obj1#)-Object Position Z(Obj2#))^2)

where Obj1# is the number of the first object, and Obj2# is the number of the second object... dist# is the distance... well... I hope that helps...

<edit>
more or less... sqrt((X1-X2)^2+(Y1-Y2)^2+(Z1-Z2)^2)
