Steven,

You should put a method on the static form that the other places can call and send it the new string to be displayed. The method then handles the details of getting the new value onto the screen.

You could also expose a property on the static form and give it an assign method:

*cStatus_Assign
lparameter vNewValue
this.cStatus = vNewValue
this.Refresh()

I'd use a textbox instead of a label and format it to look like a label and set it's ControlSource to be thisform.cStatus

>How can I create a label to be used on a main static form and the caption be defined in another from or program on the fly?
