That certainly makes for some difficult to maintain code. Now I have to go
to every form and make sure any label that I might change programmically has
a long enough static string. I then have to create defines to limit the
lengths of my strings in my code. And I have to remember that if I ever
change the length of the defines, I have to lengthen the string in the
forms. sick!
