It did delete the control, and recreated it right away. A column can't exist without a current control, so when you remove that one, it creates a new one automatically. So you should add your new textbox first, then kill the old one, and (optionally) rename it to text1 (if your code mentions the name anywhere).

And I think we did talk about this a year or so tomu nazad...
