I'll have to look at that. Here's what I'm guessing is happening: 1. The filtering column is passed to the form via the GenFireServerEvent. 2. The edit key is also passed to the form via the GenFireServerEvent. 3. The edit form action supplies a redirect URL for when the Save or Cancel button is clicked. That URL doesn't go through the GenFireServerEvent and doesn't include the filtering information. 4. Also, since the redirect is a URL, rather than a GenFireServerEvent, the filtering column isn't passed back to the form. Therefore, no filtering occurs. To retain the filter after editing (or inserting, for that matter), you will need to get that column filter information back to the DVWP. When I have a chance, I'll work on a solution for that and post an article here if I get it working. Hmm… I’ll have to look at that.

Then when I filtered the document library based on Location (name of column) and edit it, the filtering goes out and it shows all the documents. Is there a way I can retain the filter on the document library after editing. I was able to see only two options in the dvwp, expand by default or collapse by default, so i was kind of stuck. Thanks, Vijay. Hi Jim,

BUT (there's always a but isn't there) I want to have paging for the webpart - and it isn't working properly when I add the "edit" feature. The paging is set to show things in batch of 50 - but as soon as you switch to the edit mode - its shows a little 1-17 at the bottom - and then when you save (or cancel) and go back to the normal view - the 1-17 is still there. Has anyone else run accross this? I have set up my first edit template – and I am loving your articels about how to do this.

At first, I tried to embed the CSS code directly onto the master page. It wouldn't work with the hosted site for some reason. So, I created a css file from notepad, and imported it into SP. After adding a link tag "" to the header in the master page to reference it, the CSS worked. Thank you. Richard Dear Jim,

The other thing you could do is search in your DVWP for a style tag and just add your CSS there. If you don't find an existing block, search for PlaceHolderTitleAreaClass and place it inside that tag set. (If it's empty [that is, it ends with />], you'll have to remove the '/' and then close the tag with </asp:Content> .) Blessings, Jim Bob That will definitely work.

Thank you. I had trouble with the CSS because it is was completely new to me, but this worked. I wrapped the CSS code within this: /* CSS goes here */ , and placed it within a content editor web part on the page. Thanks again. Hello Jim,
