Bonnie,
Thank you very much for the sugestions (it sure beat my "fix" of rewriting a lot of my pretty usercontrols). Thank you very much for taking the time to run and look at my code.

Sincerely,
Einar

>Yes, I ran your code and it certainly behaved the way you described it ... and it's because of the way you've done your properties, having their get/set manipulate the .Value of the control. That's not really how you should databind controls.
