                word = "work";
                label.setName(word);
            }
        }

You're calling setName, but it's the setText method that will change the caption of the label.

[Roldan Baldo]

wow. that solves it.. thanks a lot.

[Rob Poulos]

you are calling label.setName(word);

you need to call label.setText(word);
