I tried "If formview1.currentmode = "Edit" in the
FormView1_ItemDatabound When I had the formview1's default set to Read
Only. It gave me the error of ddl not set when I first arrive to this
page. Yes, it's definitely a Mode issue. Now, I have it it set to Edit
mode as default.
I will try if FormView1.CurrentMode = FormViewMode.Edit then on page
load tomorrow and see what happens.
Thanks!!!
