I have an ASP pg with a formview list control on it that hooks up to a sql database customer table

I want to access the customer name outside the form.

How do I:

A) access the bound text box in the form view template? Something like Text1.text=formview1.customername.text (that doesn't work but that's the kinda thing)

B) access the database field in the table that the sqlsource connects to to feed the formview

Really appreciate the help. I bet it's easy to do but I'm just not getting there.
