Bill,

Try this, add a new row to the dataset using the BO NewRow method. Then get a reference to the added row to update values.

// add a new row
this.oBO.NewRow();

// get a reference to the new row
DatRow DR = this.oBO.DataRow;

// populate a column in the row with data
DR["columnname"] = "somevalue";

If this doesn't work, report back to us and we can go from there.

hth,
