We all know we can update values on a grid view, simply click on edit, change a value and hit update..easy.. but what if you want to update a value on a second table, maybe one that is displayed on a different page? why maybe cuz a change in table1 that's currently displayed on the page affects, or should affects a value on table2, kinda of like a foreign key relationship. My problem is, it works, I can update multiple tables from my gridview but I have to go to edit, change a value , and update twice before the value on the second table changes, it retains the original value on the first update!! its driving me crazy , no one can figure how to get around this. So pretty much does any one know how to double post back when i hit update on my gridview, or double update with one post? Im assuming maybe i can overide the update method (im using C) and have it post twice? please any ideas would be helpful. thanks! examples please if you can: here's a visual example: Original table values: where the updatecommand is: Names2.john=Names.john [NAMES] [NAMES2] john 5 john 5 william 10 william 10 lets say i change john's score to 8 i go edit ----> change johns score to 8 and hit update: .............the tables then are as follows: [NAMES] [NAMES2] john 8 john 5 william 10 william 10 THIS IS PROBLEM, ITS HERE!! were i want the table [NAMES2] to also update john's value just like it did for john in [NAMES] with one update but instead i have to go to edit and update again and finally [NAMES2] will update: [NAMES] [NAMES2] john 8 john 8 william 10 william 10 anybody have any idea?
