Tony,

I have no idea if there's an "MM approved" way of doing this (I don't use MM), but I'd probably handle it with a DataView and it's RowFilter.

As you navigate through your Equipment table, change the RowFilter of your Facilities view:

Facilities.DefaultView.RowFilter = "Id = " + FacilityID.ToString();

That should do the trick.
