Refresh DataGridView

[thomasp]

This is a two part question,

1) The code below should display a form with a datagridview and a few
command buttons. This form should allow the user to make change to the
records displayed
in the datagridview and have to changes written to the Filters table in
an MS Access database. The if the user chooses, clicking on the Restore
button empties
the contents of the Filters table, refills it with the contents of the
DefaulFilters Table, and refreshes the contents of the Datagridview to
reflect that the defaults
have been reloaded. All of this works except the part where the
datagridview gets refreshed. I can close the form and reopen it and the
default data is loaded,
but it is not loaded without closing and reopening the form. How can I
refresh the datagrid view without closing and opening the form?

2) This one may be a bit harder. The code in the Restore sub below was
built by coping, pasting, and modifing examples in the newsgroups as is most
of my code.
If someone has time, could you please write a few lines that explain
what each of the line of code are doing. I follow that a connection to
the database is open,
two DataAdapters are open for each of the two database tables, these
DataAdapters are used to fill two DataSets, and then I get lost.

Thanks for any help with either of the above.
