Bold Font

Visual Basic 6.3 w/Excel 2003

I have a User Form that has a label control

UserForm = frmEasyLyteQC
Name = lblInstruction
Caption = Open File


When the user performs a certain action I would like the label font to change to a bold font

I used the following:

frmEasyLyteQC.lblInstruction.Font.Bold

But when the program executes I get a Complile error: Invalid use of property.

What's wrong ? Any way around it?

frmEasyLyteQC.lblInstruction.Font.Bold = True ' or False

Regards,
Peter T

similar code worked fine for me:

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Me.Label1.Font.Bold = True
Me.Label1.Caption = "My Dog is big"
End Sub
