Here is the issue and maybe someone can shed some light on this, since
I have been searching all day... I have an Unbound DropDownList that is
in the edit template of a Bound detailview.  No matter what I have
tried I can not get the Dropdownlist value to update into the
database.. I'm sure this has something to do with the finding the
control (DDL) in the detailview, but no luck to this point.  Any help
would be great.

Thanks...

Code snipits as follows:

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="DSDetail" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$
ConnectionStrings:ACChangeLogConnectionString %>"
                SelectCommand="Logdetails"
SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure" UpdateCommand="UPDATE ACChange SET
acTable = @acTable, Change = @Change,  acMandatory = @acMandatory WHERE
(UID = @UID)">
                <UpdateParameters>
                    <asp:Parameter Name="acTable" />
                    <asp:Parameter Name="Change" />
                    <asp:Parameter Name="acMandatory" />

                    <asp:Parameter Name="UID" />
                </UpdateParameters>
............
<asp:DetailsView ID="DVLog" runat="server" AutoGenerateRows="False"
CellPadding="4"
                            DataSourceID="DSDetail" ForeColor="#333333"
GridLines="None" Height="50px"
                            Width="694px" DataKeyNames="UID">
.........
<EditItemTemplate>
                                    <asp:DropDownList ID="acMandatory"
SelectValue='<%# Eval("acMandatory") %>' runat="server">
                                              <asp:ListItem Text="Yes"
Value="Yes" />
                                              <asp:ListItem Text="No"
Value="No" />
                                    </asp:DropDownList>

                                    </EditItemTemplate>

Try Bind() instead of Eval()
