Tegron,

I apologize in advance if this is an incorrect suggestion, but by just reading your question I got the following idea - subclass the Request BO under different name, say, GuardianRequests.

Perhaps this would then work.

Though may be there are better methods available here.

>When I bind it only shows one business object available. Is there a way to display two different business objects that have different names, so tha tI can bind each grid to them. Currently they are both displaying the same data in both grids. If I can instantiate the same business object with a different name and register the two names with the form, I think that this would solve my problem.
