The problem is most likely that you should delete backwards, IOW go from RowCount-1 to 0. So, I bet if you structured your Delete like this, it would work:

            ' For each message
            ' I just realized I don't know how to negatively decrement in VB
            ' you'll have to fill in the blanks on that one
            ' In C# it would be:
            ' for (lnCounter = loDataProvider.nCount - 1; lnCounter >=0; lnCounter--)
            For lnCounter = loDataProvider.nCount - 1 To 0
                loRow = loDataProvider.oDataSet.Tables("Temp").Rows(lnCounter)

                ' If we have to delete the row
                If True Then
                    loRow.Delete()
                End If

            Next

Deleting forward rather than backward will work only if you have no rows with a RowState of Added. An Added Row gets physically removed from the DataTable (decreasing the number of Rows in the Rows collection), whereas all other rows get changed to a RowState of Deleted and the number of Rows remain the same.

>>What code are you using that you get this error? A DataRow can call it's Delete() method with no problem. Are you doing something peculiar?
