Duh. In my defense. English is my 3rd language. lol.

Thanks for the guidance.

so i changed the fields to templates and then did this

' <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="TECHNICIAN" SortExpression="TECHNICIAN">
<edititemtemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox11" runat="server" maxlenght='6' Text='<%# Bind("TECHNICIAN") %>'>

<itemtemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label11" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("TECHNICIAN") %>'>

"

That still doesnt prevent me from entering more than 6 characters and just errors out when i hit update when i enter 7 characters.

Ah wait. my grid fields weren't converted to template fields yet. Is that what your talking about?

I don't know what your talking about. This si the full page from head to head.

This is the back code page

Partial Class REWTSManage
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GridView1.SelectedIndexChanged

End Sub

End Class

I loaded this page and it works.
