Either you have the business object in Edit or Add mode or the business object is somehow getting dirty (some property set is firing) and making the business object dirty. 

To figure out what's causing it, add a handler to the business object's IsDirtyChanged event and put a break point in the handler.  When the break point is hit, check the call stack and you should be able to figure out what caused the business object to think that it's dirty.

After I reread the help on sorting I found out that it is set programmatically and not by the property box. I tried setting it right after I called my fillallcowboys() but now I get a couple of the records and not the others. When I go to get out of the form it asks me to save data when all I have tried to do is move around in the table. ??? TIA.

I'm sorry, I am either not looking in the correct place or I am just missing the boat some how. I can not find either the sort or filter property in the property window on either the BO in the project or the instanciated BO on the form. I have sorted the properties and looked at them that way and still can not find them. What am I missing????? TIA.

It is a property on the BO:

If you have either of these set and add a new record, you generally get the behavior you are experiencing.  I would imagine that some type of filter or set is set.

I looked for the sort property and could not find it on either the BO in the project or the instance on the form. What am I missing? TIA

We have a lot of cowboys from Brazil in Cheyenne Frontier Days, the largest out door rodeo, and they are very good.

Hey Terry.

I know it is a cowboy's table, but "cow_lastname" and "cow_firstname" sounded really funny for me...

I'm Brazilian, it is not my fault to be silly like this...

Or a filter....this is can be a culprit as well.  Check the Sort and the Filter just in case

OK I will and let you know.

I would tend to agree with Greg, it sounds like you have a Sort on your BO.  Check that and if that doesn't resolve your issue let us know.
