How to make label expand depending on length of text

I created a report on a form in VB6. I have dates that appear on parts of the form: January , February, March, etc.
Anybody have any ideas how to make the text box or rather label conform to the length of the date. Otherwise when the date is short like April or May, it does not look as savy on the form because I have to allocate enough space for "December" so between the year and the month the gap can look too big. I don't need to have the day the report says "January 2000 or whatever the month is just and example!!!

Any ideas?

Set it's AutoSize property to True

well i feel stupid; hehe
