Populating an Edit Form with Easting & Northing Coords

Question

As a dedicated non scripter, I'm trying to create an editform that automatically populates an easting and northing control on the form. I know that vb scripts are easily created to do that using the "updateformfromshape" call, but I have no idea where or how to start.

Can anyone supply the code or at least point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

Back again. Still trying to get these X Y coord fields populated using Map.Pointer X/Y and really struggling. I'd really appreciate anyone who could give me some PLAIN ENGLISH instructions on how to achieve this or a sample code. All I'm trying to do is put the X & Y coords of where the screen has been touched into an edit form. Thanks Stuart Cassin Hi Stuart, I use the following and no further code is required. It also puts the easting and northing into the shapefile fields with the same name (long integer / double / etc). The following is part of the ArcPad form (.apl file) for your shapefile being edited.
