John - on second thought, this one is for both of us: on your 300th post!

Hey John, First of all, my comment about Android was just meant as a shout out to Android, agreed however, you are stuck with Mobile screens (at least until v2). My best suggestion if this is the case, and you have already purchased a Windows Tablet (non RC), would be to simply do some tests from the Tablet doing daily activity that you would be ...

Hi VLocke, It was just pointed out to me by one of my colleagues that my post above might not be what you are looking for.  Were you asking about the Help/Notes object, or about the note/notes fields available in the Customer/Contact.  If you are looking for the limit for the Note or Notes fields for the Customer/Contact table, ...

Hi VLocke, The Help/Note Object in the screen designer has a limit of 4000 characters.  I had to do a quick test to get this value, I added more than 4000 characters to the note object after dragging it onto my custom screen.  After pasting my 4000+ characters in the note box and clicking Finish, I realized that my note area would save ...

Hi John, We don't yet offer official support for Tablets running Windows 7/8.  However, we have received a few support cases where users have been using Windows tablets, and from the feedback they have given, it seems they are able to use Method without issues.  Please understand that again we don't officially support ...

Greg, Awesome news, glad you were able to get this resolved.  Also, agreed, the show message action can be very useful in checking your Action Results for most customizations.  Side note, between you and me, I have to give some credit to the head of our Consulting Team who hinted this answer to me! -Ben

Hi Greg,  I believe I have figured out a solution to what you are attempting, in regards to adding more than one line item at a time.  The trick here is to first create a blank Action Result outside your Grid Loop, then use the Character Function inside the loop in order to grab all the info you need, just make sure to assign your ...

Greg - Actually, I don't believe this would work for multiple lines (I still have to try it out), this is why I was asking to make sure before writing out all my steps.  Are you saying you are looking for something similar to my setup, but with more than one record from the grid (Record meaning lines/rows)?   Unfortunately, I ...

Hi WaveTec,  Fran, thanks for your input and suggestions, I would have started with what you suggested also. WaveTec, just to be clear, are you saying that you are attempting to do this with more than one line item at one time, or just catch more than one field value from one line item?  I recreated an example of what I ...

For anyone else reading this, Clearview and I discussed this over the phone.
