<snip> Is it essential to have a separate method to Add Controls or can it be done in the Init method? (The separate method in the original code was added to try to eliminate the error.)
Ooohhhh, a philosophy question. 😉
IMHO best practice would be to have a method to populate the form controls, as Tracy showed, and then call that in the appropriate place, as opposed to dozens (hundreds) of lines adding each control, setting its properties, etc.
