@James - I saw this comment you wrote to Paul yesterday: [quote user="jnoneiliv1"]I don't see the fix to SalesOrder_CreateInvoice though?  My account shows the Full Blown Method version of this screen as April 13, 2011.  Maybe there's an update to this screen that I don't have?[/quote] I think I know why you ...

Sam, I've seen other behaviour in the grid that seemed to require me to put a "0" into a numerical field, not the price field though.  For example I have some logic that runs on "Lose Focus" for calculating weights, or pricing etc. and for some reason I've seen the grid get a little finicky about having Null ...

I know what you mean by RecordId column as I've seen it as a field to choose. Do I assign a number to all of my contacts and use that as a record ID? Shane Thanks - and this is helping!  

@Shane - okay, that helps a lot. For the import, have you selected "Update existing records by matching the key fields"?  If so, you need to have something to signify what record to update.  Typically, if you have "Update existing records by matching the key fields" selected, you need to include the RecordID column ...

Katie, In your email, can you also include an example of where this is incorrect in your account?  This way we are able to see the same thing you are and try and see what is happening.  Thanks!

Katie, Can you please also enable to "Method Support" user in your account?  This can be located under Customize > Users.
