There's a bug in the OnInitRow handling that prevents row assignments inside of the event from occurring properly.  The hot fix is this:

WebData unit:

function TDataRow.GetValueReadOnly(Index: Integer): Boolean;
var
  TempColumn: TDataColumn;
begin
  if FDataSet.Editing or FDataSet.Initializing then  <<<<<<<<<<<  Change this line to look like this

This fix will be in 2.02 B5 coming out soon, but there's a memory overwrite issue in the IDE during the form designer tear-down of the design-time execution environment that I need to clear up, and these types of issues are notoriously hard to track down quickly.
