I am dynamically adding an HtmlInputHidden element with different values.  
The problem is the first time I add it with a given value and submit it then
change the value within the Page_Load event it still has the original value.  
I am guessing this has something to do with viewstate.  I have turned off
viewstate at the page level, but the issue still occurs.  Any suggestions?

The code is basic:
HtmlInputHidden    phihAction = new HtmlInputHidden();

phihAction.ID = "hdnAction";
phihAction.Value = ((short)pactAction).ToString();
mfrmUser.Controls.Add( phihAction );

pactAction is an enumeration that changes based on action (i.e. 1=Add, 2=Edit)

Any help in understanding why it does what it does and how to work around it
would be greatly appreciated.

Robert,

You need to check IsPostBack property befory assigning the value:

HtmlInputHidden phihAction = new HtmlInputHidden();

phihAction.ID = "hdnAction";
if (IsPostBack)
 phihAction.Value = ((short)pactAction).ToString();
mfrmUser.Controls.Add( phihAction );
