>Hi Linda,

>>I have a form in which the controls are bound to an alternate table in the biz object. For example, the biz object is OfficeNote and the table is AssignmentNote. I have a text box which has a BindingSource of "OfficeNote" and a BindingSourceMember of AssignmentNote.CompletedBy. When the user clicks on the button to "Complete" the note, I have a line of code in the click method as follows:
>>

>>     this.txtCompletedBy.Text = mmAppDesktop.UserMgr.UserID;
>>

>>
>>When I save the row, the CompletedBy column is not filled in.
>>
>>I ended up changing this to get a reference to the DataRow and assigning the value to the datarow column but I don't understand why assigning the value to the control's text property didn't work? Did I miss something?
>>
>>Thanks.

The business object is OfficeNote but I have a table defined within OfficeNote, a subset of OfficeNote, if you will, which has the name AssignmentNote (all office notes with a note type of 'AN'). I don't really see why the binding should be an issue. When data is typed directly into the other text boxes on the page which have the same type of binding, the values are saved with no problem. It is only when I have a value stored to the Text property of the mmTextBox control through code that I have a problem.
