[RESOLVED] Academic Label Questions

.Left, .Top, .Width and .Height properties can be read. Btw... it's not logical that they can be assigned, but cannot be read. How can you assign something when you don't know what it is, that you're asigning???

Agreed, which is why I posed the question from the position of bewilderment. As it turned out, I was itenerating through all of the objects on my form, and I forgot that one of the objects was a Timer. As we all know, the Timer has no .Top, .Left properties.

You probably figured it out but to iterate through all the controls you could do something like

Dim ctl As Control
    
    On Error Resume Next
    For Each ctl In Controls
        Debug.Print ctl.Name & " " & ctl.Left
        Debug.Print ctl.Name & " " & ctl.Top
    Next

That's not quite true. It has this properties, you just can't assign theme during runtime, because it's pointless.
