Nick,

To fix a slight error in the other two responses:

ThisForm.Label1.Caption = 'This payperiod is ' + TRANSFORM(payperiod)

You should also consider using a Textbox that is formatted to look like a label (BackStyle = 0 Transparent, BorderStyle = 0 None, ReadOnly = .t., In GotFocus() return .f. if you don't want them to be able to copy the value to the clipboad. In Init() this.BackColor = this.parent.BackColor). This control has a native Refresh() where you can put code to make the .Value dynamic.
