I think David is right . it's good solution for your problem. Even if you want to do with LABEL control then , try to write code in INIT method of LABEL and set LABEL.Caption = cust.add1 . Before that use cust file .
So caption will change . Do set it's caption each time when you navigate record .
I think it will do.
