Hi,

I have read several resources on the internet and MSFT newsgroups on how to 
insert data using the footer in the datagrid control.

To solve the empty data set problem, I added a blank row in the datasource 
select statement, using the union command to create the additional blank row, 
making the footer visible.

My last step is where I am stuck. I need to hide that "blank row" that I 
created. 
I have read examples using c#.net, but i'm using asp.net with  VB not c#.

I have also read references to using the detailsGrid in the 
"emptydatatemplate" and binding to the same datasource. I don't believe this 
would work for me because I would want the inserted fields to be in the same 
format, not the "two column" format of the details grid. (Though I admit the 
details grid may have more formating capablities than I know).

Thanks for your help in advance!

oops...i meant "gridview" control in the first sentance, not datagrid.
