Formview CurrentMode changes unexpectedly

Greetings all

I have a page that conatins a listbox (holds people names) and two formviews (each linked to an ObjectDataSource) - one  that holds the selected person's personal details and one that holds their address details. As the user scrolls up/down the listbox, the corresponding details are displayed  -- no problem with that.

When the user clicks the Insert button on the personal details (ie they want to create a new person, the personal details formview displays the InsertTemplate without any problem. The address formview needs to display the EmptyTemplate, as the select should have no data.

In the person formview's ModeChanged method (see attached), I have confirmed that its CurrentMode = Insert. I then I call the Select method of the address ODS. Control then passes to the OnSelecting method of the address ODS. Here I check the CurrentMode of the person formview, before setting the parameter to zero (if the person formview CurrentMode = Insert) - PROBLEM  -- the CurrentMode is ReadOnly -- so the wrong code is executed. When execution retuirns to the person formview's ModeChanged method, the CurrentMode is back to Insert.

As an experiment I created a priuvate variable, at the class level and then set it's value to the CurrentMode of the person fromview , in the person formview's ModeCHanged method. Then, in the addres ODS's Selecting method, I check that value and it is null -- almost as if it's doing another postback - yet, I have a break in the Page_Load method and it isn;t hitting that.


Any thoughts on what I'm missing?

In advance, thanks!!

CODE BEHIND:
 
 
 protected void addressODS_Selecting(object sender, ObjectDataSourceSelectingEventArgs e)
    {
        string beforeSelect = fvSpousal.CurrentMode.ToString();     // equals "ReadOnly"
        if (fvSpousal.CurrentMode == FormViewMode.Insert)
        {
            e.InputParameters["CoupleId"] = 0;
        }
        else
        {
