label in code module

I have an app with serveral modules. I am creating a code module that will contain several functions used in the other activity modules. I first created a function in the first activity module and it works great. It is using is using a form that I created with the designer. Several labels. When I put the functions in the code module, none of the labesl work. It says "layout not available". Can the labels be made available in the code module?

Thanks
