If it is possible I am getting an error and I will attach to the next reply.<div>If not is there a way to search on a Custom Field?&nbsp;<div>TIA.Thu, 20 Jan 2011 08:53:32 GMTTerry Bottorffhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost29397.aspxActually, 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.&nbsp; 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.Thu, 20 Jan 2011 08:53:32 GMTTrent L. Taylorhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost29393.aspxYes 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.<br/><br/>You are welcome, let us know of the outcome. ;)Thu, 20 Jan 2011 07:47:36 GMTIvan George Borgeshttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost29384.aspxYes I could do this but if I can do what I asked in my last question then I can stay away from the view.&nbsp;<div>Thanks so much for the great help.Mon, 17 Jan 2011 11:41:58 GMTTerry Bottorffhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost29383.aspxSo 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.<div>TIAMon, 17 Jan 2011 11:40:32 GMTTerry Bottorffhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost29382.aspxI 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.Mon, 17 Jan 2011 11:39:29 GMTIvan George Borgeshttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost29381.aspxMakes sense. I was afraid of that because I thought that is what the error message was saying.<div>Is there any magic way around it that you are aware of?<div>TIA.Mon, 17 Jan 2011 11:24:27 GMTTerry Bottorffhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost29380.aspxHi Terry.<br/><br/>Nope, there is no way to search on a custom property. Any field that you want to search on must exist in the database.Mon, 17 Jan 2011 10:03:21 GMTIvan George Borges
