E Group: StrataFrame Users Posts: 2.4K, Visits: 23K	Hi Trent, After a second thought, I decided to try Tim's suggestion to create a Custom Property and after reading Tim's great sample and with the SF help file, I could not believe how easy it was to have 2 Custom Field Properties to handle this situation and not have to add a single line of code at the form level, which keep the things simple. For the sake of new SF users, here is the code for one of my Custom Field Properties: ''' <summary> ''' This property will return a formatted Building Address ''' </summary> ''' <remarks></remarks> <Browsable(False), _ BusinessFieldDisplayInEditor(), _ Description("CustomerBuildingAddress"), _ DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden)> _ Public ReadOnly Property [CustomerBuildingAddress]() As System.String Get Dim loBusinessObject As New BuildingsBO loBusinessObject.FillByPrimaryKey(Me.FK_Buildings) If loBusinessObject.Count = 1 Then Return String.Format("{0}, {1} {2} {3}", loBusinessObject.Street, loBusinessObject.City, loBusinessObject.State, loBusinessObject.Zip) Else Return String.Empty End If ' Release the Business Object loBusinessObject.Dispose() End Get End Property Once again, big thanks to Tim and Trent for the lecture on how to accomplish this task.
