Yes. That's why I wondered if it only affected a single insert, or the
last insert if there were multiple inserts.

Then you must be working with CachedUpdates set to true, and that would
explain it. Sure, with CachedUpdates, you need to ApplyUpdates to all of
the datasets and follow it up with a hard commit.

Post works on a *live* dataset. A cached dataset is not live (even if you
set the RequestLive to true...the cachedupdates overrides the dataset
property).

ApplyUpdates is the CachedUpdates equivalent of Post for a live
dataset. It doesn't perform a commit - you must call Commit.

Sheesh, these partial problem descriptions waste people's time. <sigh>
