Keith,

Setting the visible property in the Click event will work on the controls as you want. You might want to put all the controls in a panel control and turn the visible property true/false which allows you to hide all the controls at once or show them by just using the one control's property.

Will I be able to set the visible property in the click event, or does it have to be moved to the page's load event? If it has to be moved, how can I examine the button's commandname and commandargument properties in the page load event?
