Does a Browse Dialog allow you to search on a Custom Field Property? If it is possible I am getting an error and I will attach to the next reply.

Hi Terry.

Nope, there is no way to search on a custom property. Any field that you want to search on must exist in the database.

Makes sense. I was afraid of that because I thought that is what the error message was saying.

I guess this depends on your scenario. Would you be able to produce a view where you would have all the fields you want, including the field you were creating as a custom property? If yes, you can BrowseDialog on the view, get the PK of the chosen row and navigate your original BO to it.

So if I search for a record with out using the custom field, can I display the custom field in the results? I can not seem to get that to work either.

Yes I could do this but if I can do what I asked in my last question then I can stay away from the view. 

Yes Terry, you should be able to show your custom field on your form, if this is what you meant. But no, it won't be shown on the Search Results listview, for that the view would help.

You are welcome, let us know of the outcome.

Actually, there is one way. You can use the custom schema and table name on the browse and use a view to search on a field not in the normal table...assuming that the field does actually have something behind it.  If you custom field property is just pulling from other fields that actually exist in the table or that could be calculated as a view field, then this approach would work.
