Douglas,
Looks like you need to check the ListItemType before
your loop. The DateGrid.Items collection holds the Header
and Footer items as well as the data that you are interest
in testing. The code is blowing up on the
ListItemType.Header and will do the same when it gets down
to the ListItemType.Footer because those datagrid rows
don't contain the textbox controls.
Barry.
