Method Community

I wanted to add a note to this thread about working with Customers and Contacts.  Customer to Contacts is a one-to-many relationship.  That is, one Customer can have many Contacts, but a Customer must have a least one Contact.  That is enforced by the Method UI and API, both create a Contact when a Customer is created. ...

Let's walk through the process of figuring out what to submit to the API.   Step #1 - Identify want we want to create - in this case Opportunity Step #2 - Query the field list for Opportunity <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/"> ...

This is huge - thanks , Peter for working on this!

Glad to hear it, William!

Thanks, I also have the same concern, good that I was able to get the solutions from here.

The VBA/Excel samples have been updated on method.me/api.  The samples are no longer dependant on the WebServices Toolkit that Microsoft no longer distributes.  The updated samples construct the SOAP request as an XML document directly (using an actively distributed XML library from Microsoft that is readilly available and already part ...
