The problem with altering labels at run time is the char string you use to
alter it must exist for the lifetime of the control or unpredictable things
may happen. If you plan to modify the text often, it is best to use a field
and not a label.
So while FrmCopyLabel will work you must be careful to use it properly, or
possibly crash the app.
