You said that you wanted the content pages to be able to access the master page's label. Presumably, you had some idea in mind at which point you wanted to access it? If you want access to the master page's label because you want to set some text in it, then use that code at the point at which you are going to write something to it, not outside a method.

wow, that's very interesting mendhak, of course i didn't fully understand it, can you provide me direction (or good book name) of how to learn the basics of the "tires" architecture ?

This is just weird....I put the statement in #1 in the code-behind file in one of my child pages. Then in a Sub Procedure, I put the line of code that's in #2 but it's not working as it's not being recognized. #1 Code: Dim mmp As site2 = DirectCast(Me.Master, site2) #2 Code: mmp.errorLabel.Text = "" Geez....what am I doing wrong. This is such a different animal as opposed to straight VB.Net programming. Thanks,

Okay i can try this, but how do i make button which check does 12h is gone can you assist with it too?

You need to check this points. First Comment this portion Code: protected void gvExistingCustomers_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) { if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) { LinkButton delbutton =(LinkButton)e.Row.Cells[5].Controls[0]; delbutton.OnClientClick = string.Format("return confirm('Are you certain you want to delete the {0} Customer?');"); } } and check whether it is...

Ive looked at its properties and 'indexable' = yes

Thanks. I'll look into that. And what about if I want to give it all over to my client for his programmers to work on?

Mendhak and Gary, I tried UNC path as well today but kept getting different errors. For now, I moved the excel files to the webserver and everything works fine. However, I plan to come back to this issue again in a couple of weeks and post errors I am getting while using UNC. Thank you once again for your help.
