Blake That's the kind of consulting we've done for few other people and we'd be happy to do the same for you.  It's probably best if we communicate directly.  You can reach me via email.  mark@lacrewsbsp.com.

Hi, I am trying to figure out a way to hide the cost of job items from some users while still allowing them to modify the qty and add new job items to the list. I have created a custom copy of the "Add/Edit Work Order screen" for these users. On the job items grid, I tried removing the columns for "rate" and ...

Thanks Mark...could you show me a sample of your code interacting with the API or at least describe your abstraction strategy? Thanks

Hi Blake We've done a lot of Method API work in the .Net space.  As far as I know the only available open source code is provided by Method in their API examples. We've built our own class library that abstracts away a good bit of the API but we still have to handle specific field mapping for every project.  Our ...

It does not calculate the sales tax for me, only after I send the invoices to QB.
