Wow!!! That never ocurred to me. That is cool... I've gotta make sure Tim reads this.

So, what you recommend between this method vs. having a JobItems BO and Parts BO with a Releationship to pull the PartDescription into the grid?

>>So, I need to understand how the JobItem Entity would handle the PartDescription column since it is not present in the Entity model that was generated from the Business Layer Generator. Since that field (the PartDescription) is not in the JobItems table, I was not able to pick it when generating the JobItems BO and Entity.
