Is that a database cursor, a screen cursor or a Bookmark? A bit more detail will help

Try this:
Me.CurrentX = 3000
Me.CurrentY = 1000
Me.Print "HELLO WORLD"
The Me keyword specifies the form that the code runs in.

What is a cursor position? The one blinking in the text box?
Or you mean the focus?
TO set the focus, use Control.SetFocus method
To set the cursor in a textbox at the particualr letter, use
Text1.SelStart = 1
You dont have to make the 1 hardcoded, it can come from a variable also.

Apart from the API I don't think the others will yield the mouse pointer co-ords which is how I read the question. Without looking at API's I came to the conclsion that it was not obvious. I tried a few properties but gave-up and found a different way of doing things like click events,
Form_OnMouseDown(button, X,Y) or something similar though if the click is in an object it fails. Look at OnMouse Over events - and fill the form with a picture box if necessary and use that as the carryer of the co-ords.
though there was a drag and drop thing I looked at - would this help? Click to set, drag an icon and click again to drop. I saw the code in the "samples" via a trial and error search in Help.
If see anything more useful when I get back to my machine I will post
