Which table is your transactions grid based off?  If it's not based off the the transaction or estimates table then it would never show in estimates.  The default grid for the transactions tab section uses the transaction table.  Please confirm. ~C

Nancy - thanks for the extra details.  We haven't had any similar reports on something like this, so we're going to have start with a clean slate on this. I'll look into what could cause such a boring an uninformative message of "undefined". I'm hoping that whatever the cause of that one will be the solution to the ...

I have a custom table that includes a Customer dropdown that displays the Customer Full Name on the screen as the select options.

Also, there is a column called U/M. How can I remove this ...

 Hi Jacob, Have you ever done a quickbooks sync? If not you should follow the steps in the Method Initial Setup Guide. http://www.methodintegration.com/self-service-documentation.aspx After the initial sync this problem should be solved   Dave
