Calculating Rotation For X,Y !!! URGENT !!!

I am working on a program that takes two coords from a 3D game (X and Y, Z not relevent), and calculates how far point A (current position) is from point B (target position). However, i am having problems calculating which direction the object on point A needs to be facing (in degrees) to get to point B. I know there is some formula for this, however, I'm clueless.
So lets say my current position in the game is X-996 and Y-1071 currently facing a value of 100 (from what i see rotation is measured on a -180 to 180 scale, north being -90, east being 180, south being 90 and west being 0) and my target location is X-985 Y-1133, how would i go about calculating the rotation at which i need to be facing in order to reach my target position?
Below is the function i am currently using (programmed in autoit), that doesnt seem to work. what it does is grabs the coords from the objects current position then reads "waypoints" or pre-defined target positions from the text file. after that it tries to calculate the rotation (which is wrong) and then moves in that position towards the target position.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Func _Turn()
Local $Cur_Coords = _GetCoords()
Local $Next_Coords = StringSplit(FileReadLine(@ScriptDir & "\waypoints.txt",$Cur_Waypoint), ",") ;split x, y, z, map
;-------------------------------------------
Local $PosX = $Cur_Coords[0]-$Next_Coords[1];x
Local $PosY = $Cur_Coords[1]-$Next_Coords[2];y
$Next_Rot = _ATan2($Next_Coords[2] - $Cur_Coords[1], $Next_Coords[1] - $Cur_Coords[0]) * 180 / $Pi
GUICtrlSetData($Input6, $Next_Coords[1])
GUICtrlSetData($Input7, $Next_Coords[2])
GUICtrlSetData($Input10, Floor($Next_Rot))
$Cur_Rot = _GetRotation()
If $Next_Rot = $Cur_Rot Then Return $Next_Rot
While $Cur_Rot <> $Next_Rot And $Run
$Cur_Rot = _GetRotation()
_MouseMovePlus()
GUICtrlSetData($Input5, Floor($Cur_Rot))
WEnd
Return $Next_Rot
EndFunc

Now this shouldnt be too hard of a project, its a matter of doing mabye 1 or 2 calculations, so my budget limit is 50$ (i doubt it would take more then 10 minutes to figure out if your good at things like this) so bid accordingly
I NEED THIS DONE ASAP! SOONER THE BETTER!
