help automate popup code

i have popup codes like this (too many around 12-20 popup screens) painted for demo.

most of them have a kind of 1-2 layout ie

the fields come dynamically from a resultset

i am guessing i can change the SQL code so that i can get the proper field names

eg

SELECT

FIELD1 AS DisplayName1,

FIELD2 AD DisplayName2

...

is there a way to dynamically adjust the layout to set the fields in a good way according to the recordset returned.

|Label1:Field1|

|Label1:Field1|
