Thanks, that helped. To answer how it is being used, I have a control
that is 5 radiobuttons. This control is going to be placed for each
question in a questionaire. I want to use the repeater to put the
control on the page as many times as is needed. each Questionaire has
a different number of questions and a dropdown list is how the user
selects which questionaire to use
