Hi.

I am not sure of the most effective ways to make use of the Label property. It seems that the Label property cannot be used like the Name property to refer to a specific object.

So if you label a color as "purple" you get an error if your write:

Set myRectagle.FillColor = myColors.Item("purple")

where "purple" is a label and not a name.

If you label objects in a collection, do you just have to loop through the object to pick out the one with the label you gave it?

For counter = 1 To myRectangles.Count
   If myRectangles.Item(counter).Label = "Rectangle1" Then DO SOMETHING
Next counter

Are there other more efficient ways to use labels?

Thanks,

Brian
