We currently have the Method Integration Engine for Use with Quickbooks installed on an individual user's computer (Intel Core 2 Duo E6300, 3 GB of RAM, Windows 7 Professional).  Neither the CPU or RAM on this machine is maxed out, but the Integration Engine has greatly slowed the computer down (from booting up to using Quickbooks, etc.), ...

I am having trouble importing a customer list from Xcel.  I had to change the "company name" column because there has to at least be a "name" column.  Fine, I get that.  But then when I went to import it, I was declined because I can't "have an empty value in the "name" field".  It ...

My problem is this: I have a customer that has a few ...

Andy, Are you opening a different screen? Have you checked your on screen load actions to see if the dropdown fields are being loaded with the data? - Adam

I'm having an issue with a few custom dropdown fields. The data entered when creating a record is being saved and showing on grids, but when selecting the record and opening a screen the dropdowns are blank. It's probably something very simple but I just can't see why this is happening. Thanks.
