What you can do (and it works in VFP9) is to change the file extensions of labels (lbx -> frx and lbt -> frt) and convert it to report, and there the Object dialog box you have to select Expression or variable name. You should also change the call LABEL FORM ... -> REPORT FORM ...

In VFP 8 the picture control is the same for both Label and Report so the Expression option is not available for either.

We have a solution which, while perhaps not optimal, will suffice to meet our current requirements. I appreciate your help but we're at a point where the improvements won't be worth the additional effort.

Thanks again for all your help.
