</htmlIn the recieving pae's load event you're setting the value of the textbox so you don't need to bind the text box's value to itself (so just leave out the "Text=' etc." attribute).
Also, the items collection is case sensitive. You're adding items as "first" and "last" but you're trying to retrieve values from "First" and "Last". Choose a case and stick with it and the problem is resolved.
you made my day Chapel21. thanx for the prompt response and the explanation given, it makes a bit clearer what each line of code does.
sometimes I think I should've studied CGI scripting 5 years ago, when i had time to invest. by now, ASP .NET should've been simpler to understand and use, or may be not.. thanx again,
