Hi Peter,

if you realy like to have the = in front, there would be the way to use a textbox instead of a label.

WITH .Textbox
 .Value = '= XYZ'
 .readonly = .t.
 .tabstop = .f.
 .backstyle=0
 .Themes=.f.
 .BorderStyle=0
 .Font*=
 .Alignment=
ENDWITH

also in the WHEN event

RETURN .F.

Only thing is if you an access key in the label, then you must catch this in forms KEYPRESS
