What I have been doing when I have this sort of need is to create a 2nd table within the existing business object. You create just one business object but have two separate calls. You can modify your method in the business object to accept a tablename passed in as a parameter. Use the FillDataSet command with the override that includes a parameter for tablename. Using your example, you would have one business object, IRequests. One table would use the default table name (IRequests) and the other would have the tablename MCARequests. When you bind the data to the grids, the bindingsource for both grids would be IRequests but the BindingSourceMember would be the tablename.

I hope this helps.

>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.
