[Solved] Accessing content of template fields

[Clifford Lane]

I have a form with three grids each has a edititemtemplate with several fields and an update/insert button and a cancel button.

I need to access the content of each field prior to update/insert to make sure the content is valid.

One of the grids is named FULEGRID.  On the click event for the update/insert needs to access the tbx fields inthe template but I can't seem construct the statement needed to 'view' their content.  Give the following code can someone help out?

Pavlina:
I had looked over these before posing my question.  The difference and difficulty is that I am trying to get at a textbox that is bound to a data column.  The textbox is in a masteritem template and I am unable to construct the statement needed to get at its content.
