Matt,

Override the factory CreateEntityObject()and put a decision in there. You could set a property to drive the decision as one method.

>I read in the Dev Guide about "Working with Different Shaped Entities", and I think I need to do this in a few cases, so... How do you tell the Business Object *WHICH* Entity to use when it is instantiated? I see how to create additional Entity "shapes" using the Business Layer Generator, but how do I create an instance of a my Customer BO on one form that is based on the default Entitiy, but also have a Customer BO on another form that is based off a different Entity definition?
