I try your code and it works fine
Perhaps you might try :

FOR j = 1 TO 100000
	thisform.label1.Caption = TRANSFORM(j)
       Thisform.refresh
ENDFOR

>>I have a form with two controls, a label and a button. When I click the button I want to see the label display some numbers. In the button's click event, I put the following:

>>FOR j = 1 TO 100000
>>	thisform.label1.Caption = TRANSFORM(j)
>>ENDFOR
>>

>>
>>Now I thought that I should be able to see the label displaying the numbers 1 thru 100000 but instead I only see the last value (100000). I even tried sticking a DOEVENTS in the loop with no success.
