Thanks again Anthony, 

To be honest that's a bit beyond my abilities at the moment though plenty 
of food for thought! 
I think I have a work around... essentially by doing the person search 
before building the list for the grid. 
i.e I can identify the person first and add person.id it to the query 
filter, 
my view will only present activities belonging to the person negating any 
need to search by person.

The simplest alternative might be to use a computed field. Alternatively,
