Starting a FormView in Insert Mode

[MdotButler]

I have a form that is normally started passing the Primary Key from a find form or related child forms via a button. The form normally starts using the <ItemTemplate> allowing a user to select an Edit, Delete or New link at the bottom.

I was wondering how I can start the form in insert or New mode directly?

TIA

Is this a windows form or an ASP.NET page? Also, what control are you using?

This is an ASP.NET 2.0 "FormView" data control "<ASP:FormView ....>".

FormView1.DefaultMode = FormViewMode.Insert

That works great except that after the "Insert" link is pressed the form again enters into InsertMode. Following is what I placed into the "Page_Load" to accomplish the initial issue.

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    If (Not IsPostBack) Then
        If Request.QueryString("Edit") = "Add" Then
            FormView1.DefaultMode = FormViewMode.Insert
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Now the question is how to and where to reset the "Default" so after the "Insert" link is pressed the form starts acting normal again.

Again Thanx
