Hi Nick,
Just to round out what's been said:
My base class for labels has a Refresh method added to it for this type of situation. So make your own class based on label and add a Refresh method.
Now when you use that class you can put this code in it.
This.Caption = 'This payperiod is ' + TRANSFORM(payperiod) + '.'
In the Refresh of the Form, or some other logical place, put the code to call the label's Refresh.
This.Label1.Refresh()
