Roland,

Visible = false should *not* make it read-only, AFAIK (but haven't actually tested it). Is this the *only* thing you changed (just the Visible property)? If the textbox is not visible, how are you determining whether or not it's being saved (are you going to the backend and checking it?) How are you changing it if it's not visible ... programmatically? Have you changed text in other textboxes at the same time that *do* get saved? What is your back-end database?
