To my knowledge, I haven't deleted any of the stock fields or tables. I did have a couple of Custom Fields in my QBooks (that I hadn't actually populated for any Customer) that came over to Method and that I deleted.

I don't see the same Advanced Screen Properties that you show. The last thing on that window for me is the Shortcut Keys drop-down box.

Hi jdibona,

First ensure that you're not currently editing a table, if so click Finished Editing Fields. Edit your CRM_EditCustomer(2) screen, click the Advanced button, then click the Click to Remove link. Publish/Save then see if you can delete the screen. If not try regenerating the Customer and Campaign tables. To regenerate a table go to Tables/Fields > locate the name of the table and click on it > then click Finished Editing Fields. See the screenshot below.

Just curious, have you deleted any stock fields in tables or the tables themselves?

Delete Screen

I'm still in the trial period and am slowing moving from my "playing around" status to truly working in the application. Before I knew what I was doing, I apparently copied the CRM_EditCustomer screen to create CRM_EditCustomer(2) and CRM_EditCustomer(3).

In trying to clean up un-needed tables and screens, I'm trying to delete these two screens because I'm confident I will not need them. CRM_EditCustomer(3) had some dependencies in CRM_EditCustomer(2) so I had to delete those before I could delete CRM_EditCustomer(3). No problem. I removed the dependencies and now EditCustomer(3) is history.

However, I'm now receiving a dialog box saying I can't delete the CRM_EditCustomer(2) screen because it has dependent actions in the CRM_EditCampaign screen. Since this isn't a screen I can manually edit, I'm not sure how I managed to make changes to CRM_EditCampaign. I've honestly only messed around with Leads, Contacts and Customers (I think) so I'm really confused.

Anyhoo, I really just want to delete CRM_EditCustomer(2)... can you help?
