The button normally has a default caption. In VB6, when you add a command button to a form, the default name is assigned to the (name) and caption properties. Look through the properties to see if the default name is in there twice. One should be the control name and the other the caption. As I said, I have never programmed in VB.net (and the beta version may disable certain things) so I am guessing at what you should be looking for.
