Thanks Drew. I'm unfamiliar with DataGridTextBoxColumnStyle so I'll experiment with that.
I'm already creating a DataView based off of the table in the DataSet but I can't see how that solves the problem. Maybe I'm just braindead right now. I'm sure I'll get it working and getting there is half the fun.
