Understood, but if he wants to set the rect of the group so that all the objects fit inside it, or at least from top to bottom, he should be able to get the rect of the group, then set the second and fourth items to the min and max of the other objects in the group. I think he has to set the locLoc to true first.

It involved getting the left, top, right and bottom as seperate values, of every visible object, then determining the min and max of each set of values as needed. You should be able to something similar.
