The update panel is intended to cater for (replace) the refresh that happenes after a 'submit'.
For instance a search + Result grid.
Normaly entering search parm, hitting 'Search'would cause a full page refresh an show the updated grid.
With an update panel this happens without the refresh.
The UpdateDB is more targeted at a form, updating it's data after a submit.
After a Submit (I/U/D) the page would be 'send' the database handling will happen and the form will return and show updated data. The UpdateDB will instead act as a service and do the DBhandling async remote, specially interesting IMO when getting data.

Thanks, I really appreciate the reply. If I then use the update panel, can how do I use information from the one panel to refresh another one. For example if I have a grid in one UpdatePanel and a record form in another panel. If I click on a link in the grid, I want the record form to refresh, showing the record details of the item I clicked in the grid.
How would I send the uinque id from the grid link to the records for\m?
THank you

Don't be afraid of the Ajax stuff.
What you describe I would do:
Build Search Grid Form (through Builder) just as always, set Search Grid Form all in one page.
Test it, and see everything works just as you describe above.
Then you start adding the panels as you wish to use, after reading the Docs/Helpfile Ajax chapter.
Describing that you can add a Update Panel afterwards, add it in straight HTML
OR in Design place the UpdatePanel and drag and drop the Search and Grid onto it.
