Hi Bob,

that's pretty much exactly what I have. Can I see the code for saving? Also how do you handle unbound combos/dropdownlists?

On my client list grid I have a link on each line to edit the existing client. I also have an Add Button on the screen that will be used for adding a new client. When you click the link for an existing client in the grid the following redirect takes place:
