Within the same application, i also have an option for adding new users to the database via a custom pop window form. How can i get the datagrid to automatically update once i have sent the new users details to the database.

Thanks Adam this is pretty much what i want to do...is there any chance you could show me an example from your code where the methods addItem() and refresh() are called. I assume your using amfphp 1.9. is the data being retrieved from php or are you just relaying the data that wa input in flex. this is important for me to know because my php includes some validation on server side.
