Me again.
Figured it out.
The dataGrid must have one more level of controls that the DataList. I put
a small set of code in my program to track the Controls (after seeing how
yours worked).
************************************************** **********************************
dim ktr1 as integer
dim ktr2 as integer
trace.warn("number of controls at top = " & DataList1.Controls.Count)
for ktr1 = 0 to DataList1.Controls.Count - 1
trace.warn("Control " & ktr1 & " = " &
DataList1.Controls(ktr1).getType().ToString() & " count = " &
DataList1.Controls(ktr1).controls.count)
for ktr2 = 0 to DataList1.Controls(ktr1).controls.count-1
trace.warn(" Control " & ktr2 & " = " &
DataList1.Controls(ktr1).Controls(ktr2).getType(). ToString() & " count = " &
DataList1.Controls(ktr1).Controls(ktr2).controls.c ount)
next
next
Dim footerIndex as integer = DataList1.Controls.Count-1
trace.warn("footerIndex = " & footerIndex)
Dim AnswerStatus as Label =
CType(DataList1.Controls(footerIndex).FindControl( "AnswerStatus"),Label)

I got the following results in my trace:
