Thank you so much, Bonnie :)

Three stars here :)

I have found that sometimes it does not work (does not cause the ds.HasChanges() to become true). The DataRow.EndEdit() method seems to work much better. Here's a method that I have coded into my base Form class to check for this particular problem. I always call it before I do a save:
