>Hey Bonnie, Guy, I found an article called "Passing Server Control Values Between Pages" in the documentation. It looks like exactly what I was asking for... but it looks like a lot of work to do something relatively simple. I'll try it out this week and see if I like it.


As are many things in .NET. The obvious things are simple and take only a little code, but do anything real, you end up doing a lot of back and forth.

I've found that much of the server control programming gets so convuluted quickly that's often easier to just generate the damn HTML directly rather than fighting the limitations of the controls.
