If Me.DataRow is Nothing, that most likely means your query didn't return any results. I recommend setting a breakpoint in your business object method at run time and examining the DataTable using the DataSet Visualizer (just click on the magnifying glass you when hover your mouse pointer over a DataTable or DataSet in the debugger).

Best Regards,
