Thanks, but the whole reason I wanted to be able to center the label is to avoid having to add an extra control. :)

I don't need it in a grid, so I guess I'll go back to my original idea of putting the shading behind it in a shape.

Thanks,

Michelle

>In your case you may make special container control with label inside and calculate TOP property of label to center label control inside of grid. Than make label auto-size with word wrap and reposition label each time caption changed or form refreshed. Caption_Assign method of label might be useful here when you need to make such conrol as class.
