    ha ha, you could do, not sure...

    ...make a form maximize, and then get the height of it, then get the height of the screen and take from the other...easy!

    Code:
    'In a module declaration
Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
Declare Function GetWindowRect Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowRect" (ByVal hwnd As Long, lpRect As RECT) As Long
Type RECT
        Left As Long
        Top As Long
        Right As Long
        Bottom As Long
End Type

'In a module
Property Get StartmenuHeight&():Dim rrect as rect
    GetWindowRect (FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", ""),rrect)
    StartmenuHeight=rrect.bottom-rrect.top
End Property
    Use

    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
