Code in Sub doesn't recognize label on form

[shingabiss]

This is an odd one; I have a form with the usual text boxes, labels and command buttons on it. There is one label, whose name I have changed several times as an attempt to make it be recognized in the code. This is VB6 and has the auto-property "suggestion " dropdown after entering the period after the control's name. This occurs with every other object when addressing them in a sub except for this one, named DatafileName (changed it several times). I have compared the properties to another label and can't see any differences except location coords. It's not part of a label array. I'm stumped. D'ohh!!

In a nutshell:
Why does the form accept the name as valid for the label yet the code not recognize it?

Hi, would you kindly post the offending code?

I just figured it out! I have declared a variable with the same name as the label and didn't realize it. I guess the variable name tool precedence and didn't have, of course, properties.

Thanks for the reply.
