Ok my problem is this, it prints more then once, when in theory (to me anyways) it should print COORDY2 once.

Please click the source button.

Why would you think it only prints once ?

The best way of getting it to only print once is to use a CLS and SYNC command before the print statement - that way it will always print in the same place.

Alternatively, you can use the set cursor command, but that can make a mess if COORDY2 changes in length.

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...

I thought it should only print once because it is in a repeat...until loop, and the loop finishes when mouseclick()=0 and I set it to 0.

Can you put cls and sync in there for me please? I'm not quite sure where to put it, and could you please explain why it prints more than once,
thankyou.

By the way it's nonsense to declare "mouseclick()" as 0.
"mouseclick()" is a DBPro-function and can not be defined.

God is real, unless declared integer.

Nevermind I have tried sync and cls and got that working, but I still don't understand why it doesn't print just once.

Now for this piece of code, how can I get that to only print it once and not keep on printing below eachother?

It prints when you move the mouse, which is what I want.
*Edit*
Forgot to post the actual code,

This sort of does it, but when the mouse stops moving the number disapears.
How can I prevent that?
