Hi John. Thanks for the quick response.
I tried changing the case but it just stopped working (without error)
again so I've removed the directive.
I have a suspicion it might be something to do with these bits:
Codebehind="WebForm1.aspx.vb"
Inherits="WebApplication3.WebForm1"
I can't see any .aspx.vb files in the project explorer, I'm not really
sure what all these references are for. It's all quite overwhelming!
Cheers,
