[quote user="Blake C"]Is there any way to make the Method activity calendars for each user public and accessible via a iCal or HTML link?[/quote] Not at the present time - the calendar object is only for use inside Method.   If you wanted to do something like this you would have to use our API to export the data from Method and ...

Yes, we are... that's great, thank you.

[quote user="jeremy"]It still says Job Opp #2[/quote] Where do you see this?

dottie, Instead of using an existing field it makes more sense to just create a new field for your customer table.  Edit the table for customer and add a new field type of drop down for project managers then you can drag out the new field to your custom screen.  You'll probably want to add this field to your new and edit customer ...

It's been a while since I've looked at the stock Method screen grids, but the Qty field in the grid likely has custom actions added to its LoseFocus event that does the Qty X Price = TotalPrice calculation.  Also, (triggered on postback) each grid has a before/after Edit and before/after Add function where you can add custom actions.

Regardless of the raw data entered/saved, I think you can override the display of the Qty number using the SQL Round function to simply drop the decimals off, leaving the whole number. That may be a bit confusing, though, should your customer enter a 2.5 for Qty, refresh the grid, and see a 2 in the field b/c of the rounding.

Thanks Rolf!  I think I understand it now.  Appreciate your taking time out of your Sunday afternoon to answer my question :)

When you select a field by clicking on it or tabbing to it, any actions listed in the Gain Focus event are executed.  When you leave the field any actions in the Lose Focus event are executed.  Also, if you have actions in both Lose Focus and Text ...
