Thanks again, Viv

The positioning is easy. The Top moves down as a function of the counter.

Yes, WPF would love this app, but I'm more confident with Win Forms now so I'll continue

Based on the little bit I know about WPF, , I could use the same code you used for textbox and the button, couldn't I?

for (int i = 1; i < 53; i++)
{
Button b = new Button();
b.Name = "Button"+i.ToString();
//Set position, size etc....
Controls.Add(b);
}

Don't know how you'd want to handle positioning though.... (One of those times when WPF would shine :-} )
