The following code will work:

Dim oldX As integer
Dim oldY As Integer

Private Sub PiecePic_MouseDown(Index As Integer, Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
If Button = vbLeftButton Then
oldX = X
oldY = Y
End If
End Sub

Private Sub PiecePic_MouseMove(Index As Integer, Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
If Button = vbLeftButton Then
PiecePic(Index).Top = PiecePic(Index).Top + (Y - oldY)
PiecePic(Index).Left = PiecePic(Index).Left + (X - oldX)
End If
End Sub

It is probably better to store OldX and OldY as static variables inside of the MouseMove event. Keeps global variables down.

And how would you cope with the oldX and oldY vars then if they are inside the sub since they don't keep their value (or share it) with the other sub.

Looking at the that code thats the only simple way to do it =)

[Zaei]

I dont know of any reason why you would want to use those values outside of that Sub. But, if you really wanted to share them with everyone, you could:

Type POINTAPI
X as Long
Y as Long
End Type

And store the values in that, so you dont take up a global variable name.
