The Insert function returns the entry as it was inserted, so I extract the id from the returned entry and save that in a separate table. It is by these saved ids that I "Get" the entry as it is. Then I try and run Update on that entry after changing the attributes.
So what you're saying that instead of updating the item I should "Get It" then "Insert it"?
