1. I'm not a fan of FrmCopyLabel - the word 'copy' in the name implies that
the function will copy the string you pass to some buffer. The size of that
buffer is determined by the size of string in the object's resource
definition. Therefore, if you created the label in Constructor (or Rez or
PilRC) with an initial value of "Palm" and then at runtime tried to call
FrmCopyLabel(pForm, "Palm, Inc."), the call would fail because the new
string exceeds the length of the buffer.
2. The "object not found in form" error might be unrelated - check the
debugger and make sure you are passing an object ID rather than an object
index (or vice versa) to one of the FrmXXXXXX calls.
