If there is only one child record - you might want to look at calling the EndCurrentEdit method before you try to do an update - otherwise the data in the single row isn't jammed into the dataset until the row focus changeds - or you fire this method. > I just think that using GetChanges so that the roll flags are not updated is > a bit of a hack..but obviously one you've had to do as well :-( I agree totally. This is an oversight in the update method - there should be an overloaded version that takes a boolean to specify whether you want the flags/original values reset or not. This is the way PowerBuilder handles this - the DataSet/DataDapter is very similar to a PowerBuilder Datawindow.
