>What I meant was once I drop it on the form as a label object, can I go into it's properties and set it's properties such as caption?
Yes you can do it from there directly. That's what I mentioned before. Well, maybe my words confused you <g>.
Notes: no need to put the quotes when you type in the text for caption and fontname.
>Another caveat, I have a setall in effect on this form and it overides your class. What to do?
like thisform.Setall('foreColor',rgb(0,128,0),'label')
I don't think it will overides the class. The label class is named "LblChar" not "Label". However I just tried this, and no it is not changing. If you put this code (below) it overides.
thisform.Setall( 'foreColor', rgb(0,128,0),
'LblChar' )
