I'm pretty green with this stuff so I might be wrong here... It looks like you are really changing the dataProvider - not the actual data. Perhaps if you try calling, lstData.dataProvider.refresh(); when you update the list it might refresh the view. I dont know, this is just a guess. As an aside, you might want to consider changing the name of your MyDataList variable to "myDataList" and lstData(which looks like it starts with a one rather than a lowercase L) to "listData", which you can read easily. I dont think that one character is going to slow you down much in typing speed but makes the code much more readable. HTH. cheerio, - shaun
