How to Change Text Box States - Resolved

We have an intranet site with information about what is going on in the company for the day. I am trying to add the ability to post messages to the main page and also be able to edit those messages.

I amusing the same page to add the message and edit the message. When I add a message, it works fine. When I edit, I pass the index of the record to the page and it pulls the info from the database.

When I try to change the info, I press the update button and it does not save the changes. The text boxes revert back to there previous state.

How can I make this to where it reads the new info and updates the records. I have tried IsPostBack but it just adds new records.

Thanks,

Jerel

I figured it out

I added a textbox on the form and keep it hidden. I add the index to the record in there. I then setup an IsPostBack if statement to tell when the page posted back.

I was using protected variables and they were getting re-written where as the text boxes do not.
