I'm trying but even on standard converted labels that just have text it returns 'Property Genearal Information is not found' for a control whose caption is (literally in the field is the expression below including the equal sign and the quotes):

="General Information"

and I want to change it to General Information without the quotes and the equal sign.

Using:

?ocontrol.readexpression(STRTRAN(ocontrol.caption,'=',''))+"'"

when ocontrol is the label object lblgeneral for instance.
