IMO you don't need the width of the caption if you set the alignment of the label to 1 - Right (Be sure that autosize is set off because it screws up your alignment after all)
In case you might want to calculate it after all you the following strategy:
WITH Label
.Width=TXTWIDTH(.Caption,.fontname,.fontsize)*FONTMETRIC(6,.fontname,.fontsize)
ENDWITH
