Keith,

I didn't think that she had two tables, because she said that she filled the DataSet with a join. That's why I asked her to post the code that she used to fill the DataSet.

Perhaps you could create a wrapper class for the DataSet that had a method to insert the data into the DataSet. The method could create the two NewRows and perform the inserts inside of a transaction.
