[ic] question about saving to userdb

[interchange-users@interchange.redhat.com (chad townsend)]

i have some code that says:

my $db = $Db{userdb};
   $db->set_field($id, 'dealer', 1);

which works fine, but in order for it to 'take effect' or so it seems in the site i have to go to
the admin ui, click on customers, click on the customer in question and click 'OK' even though it
says 'dealer YES'.  how can i get interchange to recognize right away that this 'user' is now a
dealer.

thanks,
