After I create a new record, the user will click a button to get a vendor record through a data reader and populating some text controls on the form with the vendor fields like this:

Me.editCompany.Text = drRow.GetString(2) etc.

When I save the record this field is empty.

However, if put the cursor into the Me.editCompany.Text and the others, and tab through them, the information _is_ saved.

Is there a validation going on here? I know my users aren't going to move through the fields.

Any idea how I can make sure the text control saves the field?

Thanks.
