Thanks, Bob, I tried what you suggested.
I get similar results as when I used CtlSetLabel() originally - that is, the
label does not redraw unless you call FrmHideObject and FrmShowObject
before/after the call to FrmCopyLabel (that part is actually in the API docs
at least). And in fact, this used _more_ memory than just using a field
like Dave suggested. I also had to make a call to FrmGetObjectIndex() that
wasn't needed in the other version. Although neither solution seems
perfect, using the Field control seems smaller. What additional OS overhead
are you referring to?
