Well, I set the label during an edit of a record. When the user taps save I
go gather all the info and I update the record. Part of the gather is
CtlGetLabel. I think it is because I am not locking the pointer that I set
the label with when the form opens. By the time I get it, the pointer is no
longer any good.
