    Label disappears during input/output

    Can someone tell me why a Label disappears while reading or writing a file? The label's .Visible property is set True at design time and not altered by the program. The label appears before and after the i/o operations, which are lengthy. I set break points immediately after assigning a value to the .Caption property and the label is visible, but when I run the program without break points, the label disappears during i/o.

    Although I'm using VB6 Learner's Edition, I'm an experienced programmer, yet I've exhausted my normal techniques to debug this problem.

    Help, please.

    Welcome to the forums.

    After changing the label's caption try using its .Refresh method. I think it is just a matter of the caption not repainting on the form/container because of other code that runs right after the change.
