Yes. and expressed like you tried before, if you want to have a 
reference variable to your label (e.g. makes it possible to use default 
properties in a simpler way):

   Dim lb As Label
   Dim txt As String
   txt = "Label3"
   Set lb = Controls(txt)
   lb = "Hi"

(In this example, Controls(txt) is equivalent to Me(txt), it is just 
that I find it more "explaining" to write Controls(txt) instead to 
reference a control by name. Me(txt) is an abbreviation for 
Me.Controls(txt).)

Anyway, I strongly recommend you to use control index numbers instead if 
you need to reference different controls with the same code. Then you 
could name all labels just "Label" and give them index numbers and 
reference them in code by writing:

Dim no As Integer
no = 3
Label(no) = "Hi"

....if you want to set the caption of your third label.
