The problem is setting a zero length string to the label
For example
'make a label label1 on the form with text ="B"
'then run the following...
DIM s AS STRING
s = "D"
s = Left(s, 0)
PRINT Len(s) - 1, "*"; s; "*" ' s is correct: empty string
Label1.text = s ' <-this does not overwrite the 'B' to empty.
