>Thanks for the heads up on the event stuff. Yes, I am reloading the control based on the data, so at every postback. There is a logical in the data that determines which control to load. I am not sure about the part you mention of reloading the original control and then the new one. If I reload the original control, I would then have to get rid of it before I load the new one; I don't want both.

Another question: where are you loading your user control? Which event?
