"when I press the save button and reload the sales order in Method, the Other1 & Other2 fields actually remain, however the SO Date2 and SO Name2 get wiped out.  If this is what you are referring to, I believe this is again related to the original item actually getting dropped behind the scenes, so the references ...

Hi Adam, Thank you for the link, that was exactly what I needed to know. Best, MikeH

Hi Ben, Thank you for looking into this, however I believe you counted the characters wrong. There are 6 numbers repeated 6 times and 5 spaces (blank chars). That gives (6x6) + 5 = 41 characters. The problem is not due to the character limit because you will see the same behavior if you use a customer name "111111 222222 333333" or ...

We're encountering issues when creating subaccounts. A user is able to create one, but after that, the process no longer works. Pressing the button results in our custom new account screen popping up, but it's blank and hangs. None of the fields end up showing. Logging out and logging back in seems to help, but only for another single ...

Ben, thanks. I'll experiment with the zip option. Though it would be really nice if method supported a TXT option. - Steve

MikeH, After some further testing, I have pin-pointed the issue here, however this is not a bug in Method.  For your test example with the numbers, you are entering in values > 41 characters in length, the issue is that the Contacts field in the Customer table can only hold values <=41 characters.  You can confirm this ...

Hi JPW, Method_Adam actually just reminded me of another Knowledge Base article we have on this subject.  Here is the link, this article explains how to delete many records at a time, in a similar fashion to my example above with the "Make Inactive" Button, however it explains it in more much more detail.  This might be useful ...

Hi SWiles, I have come across this in the past, my solution was to just Zip compress any file that isn't a valid format for uploading.  Another, less elegant solution is to manually change the file "Type" , or extension of your file to one that is acceptable, however I cannot gaurantee this file will ...

Hi JPW, Welcome to Method and the Method Forums!  First off, I am not sure you came across this article in our Knowledge Base, but it should shed some light on what happens when you actually delete a Customer in Method or your QBO account.  Long story short, it describes that QBO doesn't fully delete Customers, they make them ...

I wan't to create a test database. So i am planing to copy the existing table and sending the requests to that table while testing.. Thanks, Satish.
