It would probably be easier to make the text inside the label scroll across. You would set the label to align right and then set up a timer up to add a character to the end of the string at each tick. Then when it gets to a certain length, start removing letters from the beginning of the string so it looks like its disappearing (and keeps your string small). Manipulating the string should be simpler and more efficient than manipulating a whole label control. Other than that, it's been a long time since i did any VB so i can't remember how the rest of the stuff you want to do would be accomplished.
