Hi

I am trying to use the browse dialog to search for information that spans two different business objects, example JobCode and the Department Tables.

The first table JOBCODE has the following fields

JobID, Code, Description, Price, DepartmentID

The 2nd table Department has the following fields

DepID, Code, Description

When I use the search from the browse dialog, I want to be able to show the Department Description within the JobCode  business object instead of the DepartmentID field.

The BrowseDialog is designed to represent a single BO.  So you can map to a view if you have the need to actually search across several tables.  However, if you are just wanting to search on a single BO and show details from another, then add a BrowseInfoPanel and add any details that you want.  If you look at the CRM sample that comes with the framework it shows how to use a BrowseInfoPanel.  Either case is possible, but is just depends on what you are needing to search on that will determine whether or not you need to create a view.
