remove Cdate function resigndate='"+enddayofffinancialyear+"'

i dont know any direct solution but there is a work-around. put a textbox (invisible) on the page. before uploading, put the text from the word file on the textbox. attach javascript to that textbox for counting characters. if characters are more than your limit of characters. show error message or whatever you want to code. javascript for it : function textCounter(field, countfield, maxlimit) { if (field.value.length > maxlimit) { field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxlimit); } else { countfield.value = maxlimit - field.value.length; } } i hope this is what you were looking for..... a cigarette reduces 2 minutes from ur life while a working day reduces 8 hours.

You can put a validator in edititem template. In EdititemTemplate give your textbox a ID. YOu can do soemthign liek this: You can replace requiredfield validator with anyother kind of validator. Hope thisone works for you!! -- modified at 10:16 Monday 12th June, 2006

Set the page's onmenu attribute to simply return false... page.onmenu='javascript: return false;' should do the job if memory serves (which it probably doesn't on a Friday pm!) "Now I guess I'll sit back and watch people misinterpret what I just said......" Christian Graus At The Soapbox

You can provide an event handler for the ItemDataBound event of the DataGrid control, and populate the dropdownlist control in the handler. You can find sample code from the site datagridgirl[^].
