May I ask why it would be bad practice to use labels instead of manually having the program draw them? When you declare a new rectangle and give it the points to draw on, isn't it considered a control? So, when the app is running, it would be the same amount of controls on the form wouldnt it??

Not trying to be an arse here, I am truly curious. At some point I am sure I will come across the same issue and I want to have good practices in place. That way if anybody has to come behind me and work on something, I do not leave them with an unintelligable mess!!

Thanks!!!
