This code allows you to wrap the text in a label. Do not use this code in the Change event of the label. It will cause a bad result or possibly and error message. Be sure that the AutoResize property of the label is set to true. If you change the lines containing the width of the label the variable Break should be changed accordingly.
Usage: lblTheLabel.Text = WrapLabel(lblTheLabel)
Public Sub WrapLabel(Text As Label)
Dim XStr As String
Dim Break As Integer
Dim X As Integer
Dim Y As Integer
Dim Z As Integer
Break = 40 ' the width to break the text
