I have a Userform that contains a Label form and here is
the initialize code:
--------------------------------------------
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

Your code worked perfectly for me (xl2003).

Although, I would have used this SetMyLabel procedure instead:

Public Sub SetMyLabel()
Dim s1 As String, s2 As String

s1 = "Hello "
s2 = "World!"
Me.Label1.Caption = s1 & s2 ' This code has no effect
End Sub

I put this code inside the userform module (not in a general module).

The Me keyword refers to the object owning the code--and I don't have to worry
about the name of the userform being renamed.

Maybe, that's the problem. The userform that's being initialized isn't named
Userform1. And you're really changing the label on the wrong userform.

ps.

Dim s1, s2 as string
declares s2 as a string, but s1 is declared as a variant.

s1 = "Hello "
s2 = "World!"
UserForm1.Label1.Caption = s1 & s2 ' This code has no effect

So, when this code runs, my label ends up being blank.
Is it because the "SetMyLabel" procedure and all its local
variables get deallocated after the procedure runs, so therefore
the text on the label remains blank?? How can i fix this??

thank u
