I am more ambitious. I want to have a footer row for inputting additional records into the database - fairly well documented. But I want the cell in the footer row to have a DropDownList populated by the existing records in the column - again fairly well documented. This forces them to use existing categories rather than invent a new one. Where I am getting stuck is that I want the selected value in the DropDownList to be the same as in the first row of the Gridview, to give the user a default that they may wish to copy or to change. I can pick up the value of the top left cell with: CType(GridView1.Rows(0).Cells(0).FindControl("Label1"), Label).Text Can you suggest what code I put where to get the DropDownList18.SelectedValue to be set to the above.

The fields DataTextField="Username" and DataValueField="id" are not necessary. They came along by accident with a cut and paste. Thanks for pointing this out. -Peter Greg,

My only thought is that I don't think the DataTextField is needed, or if it is needed then it is not intuitive in the example to have a username field mentioned when it will be a boolean yes/no. Took me a second to figure out what you were trying to do with the dropdownlist. I'd love to see the second installment on editing that boolean! This is very helpful…thanks!
