You can use the MouseEnter and MouseLeave events of Label1 and set Label2.Visible = False / True as appropriate.

You should have mentioned you were using VB6 in your original post. If you don't, everyone assumes you're using VB.NET. There is no equivilent event in VB6. The closeest you're going to get is MouseMove, but you cannot tell if the mouse has left the label control, only when the mouse is moving on the label control.

Well I didn't know that did I! I don't have VB6 on any of my machines here at the moment, so can't look, but does the form have a MouseMove event? if so, you could use this in some way.

There's a MouseMove that get's triggered when the mouse moves over the label - you could abuse that to simulate the events. Add a boolean value, and set it to "true" the first time that the MouseMove event fires. That would be the equivalent of a MouseEnter event. Clear the boolean again when there's a MouseMove on the main form, or if you didn't receive a MouseMove in the last two seconds; that's your MouseLeave event :)
