Thanks a lot, Kevin. That's just what I needed. I probably had the sequence for the btnNew_Click event code at one point, but the Page_Load trick was the key.

Regards,
Chris.

>In your web form's Page_Load, if posting back, rather than retrieving the DataGrid data from the business object again, you should retrieve it from the Session variable (which contains the DataSet with the new row in it), and then you should call the business object's SetCurrentDataSet method so all of the binding occurs properly. For example:

>if (!IsPostBack)
>{
>	Session["dsOrderDetail"] = this.oOrderDetail.GetOrderDetail(OrderID);
>}
>else
>{
>	DataSet dsOrderDetail = (DataSet)Session["dsOrderDetail"];
>	this.oOrderDetail.SetCurrentDataSet(dsOrderDetail);
>}
