Hi!

Set _VFP.AutoYield to .T. for this code fragment, or use DOEVENTS command before getting the width of the label. When VFP do not process events, label will not be auto-resized until VFP gets a chanse to process events (either waiting state for input, DOEVENTS command or _VFP.AutoYield=.T. to process only certain events between code lines). DOEVENTS in VFP6 have a bug that cause application delay for 0.3 seconds, in VFP7 this bug is fixed.

HTH.

.Left

part of the program, the width is incorrect on the Label, it seems that only when it's made visible it will change.
