MSDN lists .text as a propoerty of the asp check obox but can anyone help me to find out how to access it? We have a panel at the top of our list forms that allows the user to select which columns to show from an SQL stored procedure (via business level code). We have succeeded in getting the names of the check boxes and using this to select the columns - by using the same names for the checkboxes (with chk stripped off the beginning of them) as for the database fields. However, the field names in the SQL database are very obscure and we would like to use the clearer names that we have in the check box text label as the headings for the datagrid list - eg Company type instead of CoTypeCodeName. However, we seem not to be able to get anything from the .text property. Is there another way of getting the text from the label that is associated wth a check box? Many thanks for any help

Many thanks for any help OK - no problem I found how to do this - - we had not specified "mycontrol" as a checkbox - when we did , the checkbox.text property worked - - stupid error on our part
