AddLabel adds a record to a table (called Labels.DBF, I think).

>UPDATE. I think I understand now that you then have to use Label Wizard (in the designer) and VFP will add the newly created format to the available choices.

You don't have to use the Wizard. When you issue CREATE LABEL, the first thing you see is a dialog to choose your label format. Your newly-added format should be there.
