>>Thanks Bonnie. I think things are working out better for me now with state, but I'm still having a problem when I wireup events to dynamically-added users controls. They don't seem to ever fire until the page is posted back a second time. Is that also a problem you're familiar with?<

Sorry, Brian ... I'm not gonna be able to help you much. I've done mainly WinForm stuff and have only messed with WebForms for a few weeks and that was probably more than 6 months ago ... I don't remember much. Have you tried anything from that link I posted? It may take care of little problems like that, but I don't know for certain. Couldn't hurt to give it a try ...
