Yeah, it came to me while I was typing :-) Christian Graus Please read this if you don't understand the answer I've given you "also I don't think "TranslateOneToTwoBillion OneHundredAndFortySevenMillion FourHundredAndEightyThreeThousand SixHundredAndFortySeven()" is a very good choice for a function name" - SpacixOne ( offering help to someone who really needed it ) ( spaces added for the benefit of people running at < 1280x1024 )

You pointed in a good direction but I still don't know why this is happening. I checked the row added event on the grid and sure enough, when that is getting fired, there is an additional null row in my DataTable which is affecting the grid. When the new row in the DataTable gets committed, the null row disappears from the DataTable but the grid hangs on to it. I can't find any problems with the logic that adds the row to the DataTable so I decided to loop backwards through the grid and get rid of all rows in the DataGrid that do not exist in the DataTable.

Glad to help you :) Giorgi Dalakishvili #region signature my articles #endregion

Don't just do the re-draw in the Paint event, do all drawing there. Call the Invalidate method of the control when it needs to be redrawn. Make sure to use the Graphics object that is supplied in the EventArgs for the event, and not create your own. The supplied Graphics object is clipped to the area that should be redrawn, if you create a new one it won't be clipped, and you might draw on top of someone elses window. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

Thank you very much. This syntax works perfectly.

Ohh sorry I would have told you to put a select command in when initializing the data adapter but I thought you had just left it out so you wouldnt take up to much room in your post ;) Good to see you got it workin' ;)

When you return to the calling form from the directory browser dialog, do the following before executing the processing code: this.Invalidate(); this.Update(); /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com
