Hi Timothy,
For cases like this I do manual hacking :) Make a backup of your form, then
use getfile('scx')
browse for baseclass = 'label'
and then replace class and classloc with your class and location for the library (relative) in the lower case.
AFAIK this Hack utility may be in Downloads already.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
