Hi Bonnie,

I'm sorry then, I don't know why the control would not be visible, but then I have not added cotnrols programmatically so I'm not familiar with the issues ( just getting started with the .NET stuff :-) ).

On the other issue addressed in this thread, could you place any relative/absolute path related data in your web.config file and limit access to that file with permissions to protect the data, read this data and use it to find/load your controls?
