>, but within each array there are a few hunderd controls.
Do you mean you made an array of -say- 200 textboxes? Like text1(0) to text
(199)? How can you make all those control to be visible at same time?

Maybe you can:
a)use the Datarepeater control (=Microsoft DataRepeater control)
b)use only as many controls as you can show, and recycle them when need
to show other informations
