Michael, Thanks for the update.  This should work also.  I'm still curious as to how the functionality of the Update link automatically provided at the bottom of the Grid is simulated in an action sequence.  Maybe this new version of Save Grid Row will do this? I am also getting weird calculation results for some cells in the ...

I am losing images attached to Item records. I have added several attachment fields to the Item table and I have uploaded attachments to nearly 100 items.  Mostly .jpg's and .pdf's. The images are uploaded correctly and can be seen on the screen and printed in reports, but occasionally all the attachments for an Item are ...

Thanks Michael!  It's such a relief that this can be duplicated.  I really don't think this Action is working properly and the more I worked with Grid automation, the more I wished I had this action to use. I think there is also a race condition problem with Save Section, which would be the workaround to this kind of automation, ...

But....... Save Section works well when tied to a Lose Focus event to save the current row in the grid, which will update the Amount column and activate custom links in the grid, but using Insert New Row after Save Section in the action sequence does NOT work. It looks like Save Section is not properly implemented and the Action Sequence plows ...

Update. Using Save Section works.  I would think that Save Grid Row might be more efficient, but it just might be necessary to shut down the entire Grid edit session to get the row and grid to save.  

Michael, I am trying to duplicate the function of the Update link without requiring the user to Click the link while entering line items on an order.  I am trying to use the Lose Focus event trigered when the user Tabs accross the cells of the line item.  I need the current grid row to save and update the grid to show the total Amount ...

I cannot find an Action that exactly duplicates the function of the "Update" link that is automatically provided underneath the bottom right hand corner of a Grid. I have tried the Action "Refresh Grid", but it does not save the cell contents.  I have tried "Save Grid" row as the first action in a sequence then ...

Blake, I'd really enjoy sharing what I've learned so far.  Just PM me and we'll get hooked up. Regarding the QB back end to Method, it really works great.  I had my concerns, but when you get down to it, QB just really needs the "Posting" transactions.  So for example with Quotes, Orders, and Invoices, QB ...

Oh, and Blake, I'm doing something very similiar in our family business. We use QB Enterprise for Accounting and the Back End, and Method to create a user interface for entering Orders, Scheduling, and Invoicing.  We could almost do everything in QB, but it wouldn't be as nice and QB just wouldn't do our pricing model and making ...

LaCrews, great tip on debugging, much better than Show Message!  Great idea. Now if we could just get that Label to concatenate the debug values we might actually have some debug logging that works......... Thanks.
