lblfld(1) = "lbl_field_1"
bllfld(2) = "lbl_field_2"

lblfld_show(1) = "Part No."
lblfld_show(2) = "Client Lot No."

And "lbl_field_1" is Label in the form

when this app run to this statment,
Panel_Main.Controls(lblfld(y)).Text = lblfld_show(y)

You REALLY need to pickup a beginners book on VB.NET and work through it. You cannot assign a string to a property that expects a number. You also cannot use the name of a control as a number, even though you didn't really do that, it appears as though you think that will work.
