Greg,

I'd be happy to give this a try.  Is there a method whereby I can reset the text
to appear with respect to the control I already have?  The control is referred to
a number of places in the code and if I delete that control and replace it with a
new one it will take me quite a while to hunt down all the places that the name
has to be edited.  I've already tried setting the BS_LEFTTEXT style, but it
doesn't seem to have any impact on the existing checkbox.

Thanks

Mike
