Re: Dataset updates from bound controls

Noel,

There are a couple of ways to do that. You can use bound controls, but if
you aren't using typed datasets you won't get design time support. I am not
clear what you are saying about when it works. If you are using binding and
it is successful with the first record, you may just not be repositioning to
the second record. You may need to tell us more about what you are seeing
when it doesn't work.

Alternatively, if you aren't successfully binding to your data, the simplest
way may just be to explicitly set the values.

dr("fieldname") = txtWhatever.Text

The real problem simply seems to be setting the value of a control
thru code.
Changing the text value of a bounded textbox from an independent
button control does not seem to cause the dataset to be updated.
I've tried all kinds of combinations using beginedit and endedit but
some other event needs to be initiated.
