Whats going on Vic. How is the family? Drop me an email with your phone number. I will give you a call and we can catch up.

I see you answering a lot of question here all the time. Thanks for the answers, I will take a look.

I am finally trying to make the change to .NET and MM .NET seems to be the way to go, atleast for me. My problem is may mindset is still in FoxPro. I am sure you will be seeing a lot of questions up here from me. Simple questions.

Where are you working now days? What are you developing in?

>I have created a business object and set RetrieveAutoIncrementPK = true, database and table name, created a method to retrieve records by ID. This all seems to work. The problem I am running into to is actually using the business object on my form to edit and add data. After creating and registering (RegisterPrimaryBizObj) my business object with my form (mmBusinessForm) I call the GetEmptyDataSet method and the fields on my form that are tied to the business object are disabled, except my check boxes. Why are my check boxes still enabled?

>To add new records I have tried using both a mmButtonNew and adding code to mmButton, as in the jump start, making a call to the business objects NewRow method. This appears to be adding records fine once save is called but the ID field (which is marked as the key field) gets a value of 0 initially then once the record is saved the value changes to the correct new primary key value. How to I get the correct primary key value when the NewRow method is first called? Should I be calling the NewRow method from the business object directly? Is there a sample in the developers guide other then the Jump Start on adding records using business objects?

>Depending on the situation, you can easily assume that the next newly added record will always be the last in the datatable - it's ugly but here's one way: dataset.tables["yourtable"].rows.length -s will get you the last row on the table.

>Looking at the jump start a data grid is used and the grids NavigateData method is called. I am not using a datagrid on this form. Shoould I be using it for navigating records? If I make it visible = false when the form is loaded the grid is still visible.
