Hello Otto,

When retrieving data using the MethodAPISelect_XMLv2 call, you need to specify a list of field names. There a few ways you can accomplish this -

You can use the MethodAPIFieldListV2 call to view a list of fields for the 'Customer' table. To get you started, try using the fieldname of 'FullName'. The parameter passed in should be a comma separated list in case you are retrieving more than a single field.
You can also access table & field information by logging directly into your Method account and navigating to the Customize Tab -> Tables / Fields Tab Link (assuming you are a Classic user).
I've also replied to your other post regarding retrieving table information here.

Finally, we do have sample projects here if you have not already found them.

How do I get a Customer record?

I need to get a customer record, but I have found very incomplete documentation of how to do something basic like this. When I try to call MethodAPISelect_XMLV2, it returns "Please specify a list of fields to retreive data from." Is there a list of possible fields somewhere? Also I'm assuming the table name is "Customer", but I'm not sure because I haven't yet beeen able to get a list of tables.

Thanks,
Otto
