Any suggestions how I can get > all the entries when the button is pressed? as Lion pointed out, your problem here is that the references to the widgets and variables are overridden on each iteration of the for-loop so only the last reference is actually stored. A slightly different approach to solve your problem than the one mentioned by Lion might look like the following snippet for which I modified your example a little: #Frame contents self.vars = [] for i in range(0, len(Assets_Text)): Label(frm2, width=30, text=Assets_Text[i], anchor='w').grid( row=i+5, column=0, sticky='we') for j in range(0, self.entry2Variable.get()): Label(frm2, text="Portfolio %d" % (j+1), width=10, font=("Calibri", 10)).grid(row=4, column=j+1) entVar = IntVar(value=0) self.vars.append(entVar) Entry(frm2, width=10, textvariable=entVar).grid( row=i+5, column=j+1) You see, since the references to the vars and widgets are lost with each iteration of the loop anyway, we can spare them at all which saves a few lines; the vars are instead dynamically appended to a list. BTW, in your example you set the initial value of the IntVar to 0.00 which is most likely no good idea. If you need to handle float values you best use DoubleVar objects instead.
