Thanks for any help

Hi Tony,

You're adding the table to part of the page but forgetting that the form is
just one child control of the page. If you check with trace="true", you'll
see that to put the table inside the form, you need to go to the second
control (1 in zero-based counting):

Page.Controls(1).Controls.Add(tblVD)

The table seems to be able to survive outside of the form (that's where it
was going) but the textbox can't.

An easier way to do this would be to drop a Placeholder onto the page and
then add things to the Placeholder's controls collection.

Let us know if this helps?

I'm using your suggestion
Page.Controls(1).Controls.Add(tblVD) (not sure how the placeholder
control works)
All worked well until I hit a button and caused a postback then table and
controls disappeared.
I have the creation of all the controls and table in the Load page in a if
not is postback.

Also I'm unable to use the control except for in the load_page .
for example I have dim txt as textbox() , then I add txt.text = "thanks for
your help".
then I created a button1 on the design page, if I try to put code in it like
if txt.text = "thanks for your help" I get an error txt not declared. But it
is in the page_load sub.


Thanks
Tony
