How to move a layer to a X/Y position with VB/DOM ??

Question

Hello,
I try to move a layer on a picture to a position X/Y. Up to now, I'm only able to move for a relative mouvement from initial position, but I would like a move with the corner of the picture as reference.
The need : To place on the doc1 (big doc) a small picture (doc2). I use copy/paste to have the small picture as a new layer on the big picture
I use VBA-excel to open Photoshop and run the differents step.
What I suceed to do :
PS = CreateObject("Photoshop.Application")       ' Launch PS : OK
'Open the 2 doc (doc1 : big picture, doc2 : small picture) : OK
'go on the small picture and select/copy the picture : OK
PS.activedocument = PS.documents(2)
PS.Documents(2).selection.selectall
PS.Documents(2).selection.copy
'go on the big picture and paste as a new layer : OK
PS.activedocument = PS.documents(1)
ps.documents(1).paste
'find the information about the new layer : HERE IS THE PROBLEM
'move the layer in the correct position after compute the need move : OK
ps.document(1).translate 20,20
I found this information for another script language
>var currentBounds = targetDoc.activeLayer.bounds;// get the bounds of the layer - which is the activeLayer of the targetDoc
>var offsetX = new UnitValue( newX-currentBounds[0].as('px'), 'px');// the required offset needed for move
So I think it's possible to get the bound of the mayer, but I don't know how to write it in VB
The other solution is to find a "translate" method which use the destination point x/y without using initial position (absolute coordinate), but i don't find this kind of method.
Thank's for any help

Oh, it's not what I'm looking for then I've got a complex script parser
which is fully multitasking and re-entrant so I can run multiple scripts in
parallel. (The scripting languauge is just a high level access to some
functions of my program so that non-LVers can still have a degree of
programmability)
Currently every time I call my re-entrant SubVI I have to pass it its own
VI Reference from the Open VI Refere
nce with "prepare for re-entrant" bit
set.
Is there an equivalent constant anywhere "Current VI's VI Reference"? Of
course I can't reference by path, as I can have 20 of the same VI running,
all with their own Reference and execution space. It gets very messy when
my VI calls itself, or I have to pass the reference to other places.
Thanks again,
