How to do a proximity search when the location comes from a node reference? [#683698]

Hi...

I have a content type called video (its a video from an amateur band). That content type has a node reference to a second content type- the bands name/registration that has the location input via the location module. Currently I have the location showing in the band/registration content (obviously). I also have it showing in the video content type (via a computed field passing the node reference to a query that garbs the bands NID and thus displaying the bands location inside the video content).

OK - so what i CAN NOT do is use a proximity search/filter on any video view. I can search bands with a proximity search, but CANNOT use the computed location for the video in any proximity search... of course this makes sense- The video has no real location attached to it. The end user inputs the bands name and then the node refernce eventually provides the location of the band via sql and views...

Is there a way to filter/search then location for a content type when he location comes from a node reference?

subscribe,
I have similar problem.

I have location enabled for Content Profile.
Then I have Resume content type, which has Node Reference CCK field to Location from Content Profile through Views.
But I can't select this Node Reference in other views to search the location of Resume content type.

Here is how I solved search for location when it in node reference.
Added in views relationship "Node: Content Profile", then in Filters Location is related to Content Profile.

Not sure if it could help to the issue of jackrabbitsf, as there is no info that he uses content profile.
