Thanks David, but still a question, why would using a textbox, be better ? is that becuase the textbox control, has better hooks into the underlying data, than using the .caption property of a label ? Is that becuase I am using a label for something that is not designed for ? are captions of lables designed not to be changed and/or refreshed, like the .caption of a form can be freely changed ?
