While working with grids, I've noticed that Step 5 of the grid configuration wizard asks about Editing abilities. If you choose "Allow editing directly in the table" it gives you the option to type in an edit caption. However, I don't see where this caption would show up, as was mentioned in a previous post. Is this just ...

While working with columns in a grid, I've noticed in the Advanced options for each grid column there is a property for Cell Alignment Override. I've manually switched most of these to "Center", but so far none of the values in the cells have actually aligned to the center. Am I misunderstanding the function of this property or ...

Does anyone know what the difference is between Rate, Amount, and TotalAmount in the EstimateLine table? Originally I thought that Rate corresponds to the unit price we pay for a product or service, Amount is the unit price we sell the product for, and TotalAmount was like the sales extension (Quantity x Amount). However, while working with ...

Great! Thank you for the response. That solves the issue.

Anyway to attach a document to a bill? It would be nice to be able to verify that the line items entered in the bill match the original paperwork rec'd from the vendor.

Is there any way to set role permissions at the screen level? I've noticed the roles work nicely at the tab level. If I compare the tab groups of two different users with differing roles, the user who does not have access simply doesn't see the tab. I'd like for this to also be the case with screens. If your role doesn't have ...

Is there any way to copy and paste objects or details of an object. For example, if I want a button to show up on several screens that has exactly the same actions and formatting, is there a way to copy and paste or otherwise avoid having to start making it again from scratch?

Is there any way to accomplish a global action in Method. For example, say there is a calculation or other function I use all the time. Could I program that in one place and simply include a pointer to it inside many object actions throughout Method?

Is there any way to adjust the size of pop-up screens. I'm trying to make a small "Wizard"-like pop-up to gather some information from the user. I'd like it to be about the size of the pop-ups that Method uses on the Screens customization page when editing an object's actions. Is there any way to accomplish this same effect?

Thank you for the reply. I'll have to give this a shot. In the meantime, I've looped through the Estimate table and pulled out the maximum TxnNumber. I then increment this and stick it in the Estimate # object which links to the RefNumber. Method seems to have no problem with me sticking an integer into a text field, I just can't do it ...
