Tony,
>I have a number of fields in my table that are not on the form, and therefore are not bound to the table.First of all, could you post the question again and distinquish between SQL Server tables and DataSet tables? I'm having a hard time understanding exactly what your statement above means.
>I need to update these fields, and I can do it with SQL Update commands, but they don't affect the underlying dataset.I'm not sure I totally understand your question, as I said, but if you put the changes into your dataset and then send those changes through to SQL Server, you'll already have the changes in your dataset.
But, I could be misunderstanding the question. =0(
