I have had a problem happen to me twice when I was running test programs. In the current program, I have 4 labels that are next to 3 comboboxes and a textbox and a button. The label are lined up horizontal very close to the combo/text boxes. The runtime version was initially identical to the as designed form. After a certain point, the labels shifted about 3/4" to the left and are not lined up. I did not do anything special that I remember at that time. I have a separate form in the program that has same number of labels and boxes and I do not have any problems with the that form's labels or boxes. I cannot see any difference between the forms, labels, or boxes properties that might cause this problem in the program. I removed all the code I was testing but left the data base connection I had (no code for this) and I still have the problem. I removed one of the labels and created a new one but it has a similar problem. I have attached a PDF file that shows the as designed form and the form as presented at run time plus what remains of the form code.
