I suspect the problem because VB 2.0 handles labels like graphic objects
and not as Static windows anymore.  Since graphic objects are actually
drawn into their parent window before child windows get a chance to paint,
this would explain why your previously top-level labels are now under
everything. 

I think the VB folks did this to limit resource consumption for simple labels.

A q&d solution might be to put the labels each into a Picture object
(which _is_ a window) and turn the Picture borders off...
