BindingNavigatorAddNewItem Goes to existing record?

Question

When I click the wizard created BindingNavigatorAddNewItem button my form goes to an existing record instead of what I would expect, which is to display an empty record that the user can populate.

Update is working OK.

I'm using bound controls dropped on form from the DataSource - Dataset.

The Dataset has more than one table w/o any relationships (shouldn't matter but...) The table being updated as a computed identity column.

I'm a Newbe with bound forms in VS2010 VB.Net Windows Forms and the Wizard generated datasets et al. I usually use ADO.Net to do things but thought I would try the bound controls - marginal luck so far.

Did I miss something that allows the wizard to add a new record?

the BindingNavigatorAddNewItem must add a new record, do not see an existing one, and very strange, try re-running a new wizard in the dataset by first removing all references to designers and code of the old dataset.

Regards.

I suppose your suggestion may work but I've had zero luck trying to repair wizard generated code and dataset. I just have to start over once the form is corrupted. I looked at these features way back an abandoned them and I'm glad I did given my recent experince trying to use them again.

Hopefully the next generation won't be so fragile.
