Method Community

Some of the base tables like Customers and Items have fields like Name and FullName that are used by QB to distinguish between the name of a child record and the full name of the child record with it's parent's name. For example the Name of an item might be "Widget" which is a Sub Item of "Widget Assembly". The Full ...

Seny, You've probably solved this by now, but you might have picked up the field "Customer" in your Method tables if you've created a custom field in Quickbooks.  Method will pull in some of the custom fields for you when it synch's.  I think I have seen Method rename these fields if they are duplicates if they ...

I'm updating this post for anyone who might be installing Method in a muliple user environment.  Contrary to some of the advice being given about the Synch Engine install, I think very good performance can be had by consolidating your synching activitiy to one server or even one PC client in your environment. I have Quickbooks Enterprise ...

This is fixed, thanks. This thread can be deleted as there isn't anything helpful for someone else, importing a large amount of records is just a bit tricky.

I think the import files should be clean going forward.  Even forcing Excel to use all Text data time, saving to a CSV file, and inspecting the file using notepad, the import tool was reporting some Hex value data improperly in the file.

TX. I'm sure you have a better way to diagnose, but my guess is that the import tool is hung on a couple of corrupt, or at least corrupt for the import tool files and the import temp file queue or import buffers just need to be reset or cleared.

Also, now this message. Server Error in '/MethodImpex' Application. Runtime Error Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It ...

Attempting to launch the Import Export tool results in the server throwing error messages.  Started about 7 pm EST last night and continues this morning.  I waited to see if fatal errors would ping the admin, but based on other posts it appears this has gone undiscovered or could be just related to the Import Export sessions on my ...

Good to know.  Thanks Danny. Without more explicit support from Intuit for QB on TS, it would appear a bit dicey for Method to support this method of install, although I am guessing as a COM object subscriber not server, the Method Synch is certainly TS session friendly, even if the licensing model, authentication and permission models in QB ...

Beth, This is a very interesting question, and I think important also. As an IT infrastructure manager I had staff supporting large Citrix farm environments and as a small business owner I've used Terminal Services on Windows Server 2003 to host Quickbooks. Terminal Services for Quickbooks worked well except the Quickbooks licensing system ...
