Hi Steve,

From your code I have noticed you are setting PerformInsert command as the CommandName of InsertButton. When you want to access controls inside the currently inserted item, having FormTemplate as an edit form in Telerik RadGrid you should use InitInsert CommandName. Please do the following modification in your code snippet which works fine at my end.

ASPX:

...
<CommandItemTemplate>

    <telerik:RadButton ID="RadButtonInsert" runat="server" Text="Add" CommandName="InitInsert">

        <Icon PrimaryIconCssClass="rbAdd" PrimaryIconLeft="4" PrimaryIconTop="3"></Icon>

    </telerik:RadButton>

</CommandItemTemplate>
...

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.InitInsertCommandName)
    {
        e.Item.OwnerTableView.InsertItem();// Insert the new item and rebind the grid
        GridEditFormInsertItem insertedItem = (GridEditFormInsertItem)e.Item.OwnerTableView.GetInsertItem();//reference to the newly inserted item using the GetInsertItem() method
        RadTextBox box = insertedItem.FindControl("TextBoxAttorneyFirstName") as RadTextBox; //accessing the control
    }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.
