ya - i remembered that now that the brick was smashed upside my skull again.

in the meantime -
i tried out something that worked..
in the init of the label -

lparameters lccaption
this.caption = lccaption

---
then in your codeblock

lcCaptionVal = m.lcOriginalCaption  + ;
  iif(thisform.cAction = "Archive"," Archiving "," UnArchiving ") + ;
	              alltrim(JobsFrom.JobDescrip)

thisform.label.init(lcCaptionVal)

seemed to work very well for me - try it again?
