Ken's theory is born out by looking at the values reported. In hex, these are:
29293 = 0x7260 = 'rm'
24931 = 0x6163 = 'ac'
Since the right edge is stored as a width value, we need to subtract the left
value from the right to get the stored value:
60269 - 29293 = 0x7900 = 'y\0'
So it looks like the text "rmacy" was written over your coordinate values. Does
that ring any bells for you? Could it be the tag end of "pharmacy" or something?

One possibility is that you are somehow trashing the object location
in the form. The most common way this happens is when you set an
object's text (e.g. form title, label, or control title) to something
that's longer than the space allocated inside of the form object. The
string data winds up tromping on the following object's information,
such as its location.
