I understand. But as soon as you want to come back to this, let us know.

I tried my code on the same plaform as you, same result - still not displaying the items in the browse. I am not going to use the browse dialog in the application, Thanks for taking the time to look at it but I am up against a deadline.

Well, that is a good sign then. It should work just as well with your views, and as a matter of fact I used the sample you posted and it worked over here. I am currently on StrataFrame 1.7.0.7 and SQL Server 2008.

Browse dialog in the sample form works. What version of stratafarme & SQL server?

Right now I am on a Win7 64 Professional with VS2008. But I also have machines with Vista and with XP Pro. I don't think this is the issue. Have you had success building a plain BrowseDialog on a normal table?

Just curious but what is your development platform, I am using Vista ultimate service pack 2 and Visual studio 2008 version 9.0.30729.1 SP .Net Framework version 3.5 SP1. I believe the BO is loading it is just not displaying, I tried using the view BO in a listview in my applicaton and get the same result.

Just open your form's code and get rid of the RowPopulating event handler. Let's deal with this part later.

Was working and now I just tried to runand got the error in the attachment.

I asked that just because it happens to me all the time!

Strange result you are getting there... over here, I have created the same view you did over there and haven't done anything to your sample besides creating an enter to the BrowseDialog SearchFields property with the cust_FirstName.

Yes, don't blame you for asking! Very strange, I am wondering if it is a permission issue on the server. I am getting the exact same result in the app I am working on using a view, no visible result even though it says it found records.
