can't fetch updated value in edit mode

i have a datagrid on a web page which is bound to an OLEDB datasource.  It queries data fine but when i try to retrive the value of a cell when Edit mode, it simply returns the previous data.  I have tried to fetch the data in the RowUpdating event, but it is the old data.  The RowUpdated event doesn't even fire.  How do i retrieve the updated values?  I'm trying to "intercept" the update and apply an update statement of my own.

Protected Sub GV1_RowUpdating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewUpdateEventArgs) Handles GV1.RowUpdating
        Dim txtActive As TextBox = DirectCast(GV1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(2).Controls(0), TextBox)
        Dim strActive As String = txtActive.Text  'This always returns the old value
 
        Dim txtID As TextBox = DirectCast(GV1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(1).Controls(0), TextBox)
        Dim strID As String = txtID.Text   'This always returns the old value
 
        Dim txtPerson As TextBox = DirectCast(GV1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(3).Controls(0), TextBox)
        Dim strPerson As String = txtPerson.Text    'This always returns the old value
 
        Dim txtZip As TextBox = DirectCast(GV1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(4).Controls(0), TextBox)
        Dim strZip As String = txtZip.Text
        Dim strCmd As String
 
        strCmd = "Update PurchaseList SET Available = " & strActive & ",  UserName =  '" & strPerson & "', PurchaseZip = " & strZip & " WHERE ID = " & strID
 
        Dim strConnection As String = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("ConnectionStr")  'Get Connection string from Web.Config file
        Dim myCon As New OleDbConnection(strConnection)
        myCon.Open()
 
        Dim myCmd As New OleDbCommand(strCmd, myCon)
        myCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
        Me.GV1.EditIndex = -1
        myCon.Close()
        Me.ProcessGridView()
 
    End Sub
