Column Does Not Allow Nulls

 Hi,

This should be straight forward, but I've searched high and low on the net.

I have a FORM which allows me to INSERT data, SQL Server 2005 backend. I populate the all the mandatory fields.

But when I click on the Insert button, it won't let me save and says:

Column 'PERSONAL_ID' does not allow nulls

I'm
using tableadapters, business logic layers etc. and pausing clearly
shows that the values from the form are being passed to the procedure
that I have created "AddNewRecord". And PERSONAL_ID is definitely not
NULL!

It fails on

Line 971: Me.Rows.Add(row)

PERSONAL_ID
is a primary key which I generate. The pause also shows that for
PERSONAL_ID it says " {"Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'String'
is not valid."}

Function AddNewRecord looks like this:

<System.ComponentModel.DataObjectMethodAttribute(System.ComponentModel.DataObjectMethodType.Insert, True)> _

Public Function AddNewRecord(ByVal PERSONAL_ID As String, ByVal SURNAME
As String, ByVal CHRISTIAN_NAME As String, ByVal SEX As String, _

ByVal FAMILY_POSITION As String, ByVal FAMILY_ID As String, ByVal
ADDRESS_1 As String, ByVal ADDRESS_2 As String, _
ByVal ADDRESS_3
As String, ByVal ADDRESS_4 As String, ByVal ADDRESS_5 As String, ByVal
ADDRESS_6 As String, ByVal POSTCODE As String, ByVal COUNTRY As String,
ByVal ORG_ID As String) As Boolean
' create a new details row instance
Dim details As New smDetails.smTbl_DetailsIDDataTable
Dim detail As smDetails.smTbl_DetailsIDRow = details.NewsmTbl_DetailsIDRow

details.AddsmTbl_DetailsIDRow(detail)
.
.
.
my formview code is this:

<InsertItemTemplate>

Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.
