Hello David.
I was searching a cross applications search feature and found your question and your response. I have 4 more or less same applications that records field engineers repairs (USA, FRANCE, JAPAN....) and now need to do a search for past repairs globally. Of course the smart way would have to have combine all those apps in one. But management at the time (2006) wanted to customize the look for each app) I want for now to add a global search to the USA QB app so I can search not only the USA QB but also FRANCE,JAPAN.. QB for a repair.
It seems that you were able to make it work by adding a formula field that serialize info from the parent's table? Could you explain the process in more details if you won't mind? Would in my case, QB USA be the child app and the other worldwide QB the parents? I guess i should forget about all the other QB but one (like FRANCE) since I am assuming if I can search QB France from QB USA then I can do the rest of the QB's later.
Sorry for the long message. I just wanted to setup my issue.
Thank you again for any suggestions.
