>>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.

So, if you step through .Show everything shows fine but if you let it run normally you the label and image don't show? Strange! Not a solution but I'm just wondering what happens if you let .Show run normally and then suspend? i.e.:
.Show DODEFAULT() suspend
just curious. Right now however I'm at a loss. If I think of anything else I'll post. Hopefully someone else has a suggestion.
