Visual Web Developer Express - Database Editing Question
I’m working with Visual Web Developer Express and teaching myself as I go. Today, I’m learning more about setting up editable database fields and views with the Form View and DetailsView. The only problem is to get that functionality through the visual user interface you click on the “Advanced” button, and the window that displays for me has the options I need to enable greyed out.
What’s happening? Any quick help would be appreciated.

Cancel that. Check what you have selected for your SELECT statement. ALL fields must be checked or the feature isn’t available. Unwanted fields can be filtered out later so you don’t have too much data displayed in your app.

1.You didnt select all of the fields of the table for your select statement
2.Or if the selected table doesnt have a primary key field.
