Object created in one function, is null in an other function

[mrgr8avill]

For one thing, the global order is called "order," and in the confirm click, you are referencing ordersDAL, which I don't see ever being created in the code you posted....

Looking at this, I would guess that odersDAL is throwing the null reference exception, not order.

You can test by moving your instantiation outside of your method:

private OrderBO order = new OrderBO();

if you still get the null reference exception, you are not dealing with a null order.
