losing fields in a table within formview

[JCH1]

I have a table within a formview and have been editing the edititemtemplat e. I have been changing some of my text fields to dropdownlists. The dropdown lists are linked to sqldatasources. When I link the dropdown lists to the sqldatasources I have to select "refresh schema" or the fields don't appear. However, when I replace one of my text fields with a dropdown list most of my other fields within my table disappear. However, when I look at the edititemtemplat e through the design view (rather than the source view) the fields are still there. When I try to run the code it doesn't show my fields.

I am assuming that this is a bug but have not managed to find it reported anywhere.

I would be really grateful if you could point me towards a workaround

I am using VS2008 9.0.21022, VB 2008 >NET 3.5 SP1

Thanks
