>I'm not completely sure of the accuracy of this statement, but here goes: When you created an instance of your label and image the base class and class library are in appropriate properties. You then saved this form as a class to a different class library. I'm assuming that this new form class needs your subclassed base class library for the image and label contained in it. Are both class libraries included in your project?

Yes they are. Here is the strange that I just discovered. It I suspend the program in the .Show() method of the class and step though it, everything is displayed as it should. Also if I call MESSAGEBOX while the class is visible, the objects appear (behind the MESSAGEBOX) as they should.
