        If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
            ' Get the DataKey Value of the grid row
            Dim newFileName As String
            newFileName = gvWorkingDocs.DataKeys(e.Row.RowIndex).Value.ToString()
            Dim updateButton As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button
            Dim editButton As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button

            'If a match is found then the doc is checked out
            For i As Integer = 0 To dsDocsLogs.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1
                If dsDocsLogs.Tables(0).Rows(i)("NewFileName").ToString() = newFileName Then
                    'Fill in the status info

Can you put breakpoints at line 17 in you question code snippet?
Tell me what these values are when program stop in the breakpoint:
dsDocsLogs.Tables(0).Rows(i)("NewFileName").ToString()
newFileName
dsDocsLogs.Tables(0).Rows(i)("userId").ToString()
userId

If not hit in the breakpoint try line 11. you may have a problem when comparing the strings. (eg. case, match exactly)

These are hit alright. I copy the value from debug anyway just to show you. Yeah, the loc is definitly executed for setting the updateButton to Enabled but it still shows up disabled. Thanks.

            dsDocsLogs.Tables(0).Rows(i)("NewFileName").ToString()       "300-4A-09-1CTU_HS-09-00489_10-22-09-10292009135102.doc"      String

            newFileName      "300-4A-09-1CTU_HS-09-00489_10-22-09-10292009135102.doc"      String

            dsDocsLogs.Tables(0).Rows(i)("userId").ToString()      "AlphaDavis"      String

userId = "AlphaDavis"
