OK guys, you got me all wrong.

1) I don't want to display an equal sign
2) I know I can put any code into label's refresh - that's what I wanted to avoid
3) I want to use the VFP's native behavior for cases when the .caption begins with an equal sign, but it evaluates the expression only once.

How do I get it to re-evaluate the expression when the label refreshes? Without code, that is. I know I can write my own refresh - but then didn't need the special .caption format for that, I could have used a custom property to store the expression.
