Hi Claudio,

Thanx for all of the articles regarding vfp -vs- .net. Great stuff. How about some data basics for all of us using free fpw2.6 tables with the vfpoledb provider. Anyway... I found that this works great.

Button oButton
oButton = (Button)this.FindControl("btn" + btncnt.ToStirng());
oButton.Text = btncnt.ToString();

>>I have 3 Buttons on a web form, btn1, btn2 and btn3. I would like to loop thru a for-loop and set the Text property for each, namely 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Can someone please suggest a way to do it. I don't know how to get a reference to each button programmatically.
