I have 2 labels on my form. One label has event properties and one does not.
The label above a listbox has 'build event' grayed out, the independent
listbox has it enabled. Why? Access 2003.

Labels are often associated with another control (e.g., a textbox, a
listbox, a combobox).

Perhaps what you seeing is related to the underlying control to which the
label control is "attached"?

When you add a text control (or combo control) to the form, it's
associated label does not have any events.
When you add a Label control by itself to the form, it does have
events.

Fred is right on the money here! I never really knew how confusing an issue
this apparently is to some people until last week. A suggestion was made to a
poster about placing a label on a form and using it's OnClick event,  and a
gentleman who followed his name with MVP promptly stated that labels had no
Click events!

That's a common confusion ... that bit about MVP.

Speaking only for myself, MVP <> "know it all"!
