(defun c:newrelease_Form3_TextButton3_OnClicked (/)

   (dcl_Control_SetCaption newrelease_Form3_Label6 "Refresh list after file has been saved")

   (startapp "Notepad.exe" datafile)

You're going to have to describe the problem if you want help. "Not working" is not working.

when i click the button on my project, the label is supposed to set per the first quoted code in the first post, it doesnt set. I changed it around to the second quoted code, still doesnt set.
I get the error nill value not allowed all the sudden.

It was working up until today.
do you see anything wrong with the code i posted?

With [Control Browser > Properties > Caption] check if newrelease_Form3_Label6 is still pointing to a control.

I don't see anything wrong with the code you posted. You didn't say *which* value is NIL, but assuming there is no other code executing, the only possible NIL value is newrelease_Form3_Label6. If that symbol is NIL, then the most likely cause is that the ODCL project is either not loaded or does not define that symbol name.
