Method Community

I have created a new table which I am trying to Link to my main Customer Table.  However, when I try to "add a Linked Field"... nothing is showing in the pulldown menus..they are all blank.  Do I need to create a relationship between the tables before adding the linked field? Thanks, David  

Silly. I'm not barking up the wrong tree. We just have different perspectives and differenet business needs. As I said previously, I'm glad it works for you, but for most people, I don't see the benefit.

I'm not thinking about only my business either and with extensive engineering, business, and IT experience in businesses of all sizes from the very largest to the smallest I can say with confidence that I believe improving the performance and stability of key field updating and synching should be a priority for Method development and I applaud ...

We're not talking simply about your business, we're talking about the majority of businesses.  I've been managing IT for small businesses since 1998 and I can attest that your experience is not the norm. Most businesses will either use QB or both QB and Method.  And my point was that Method development should focus first on ...

My two cents. I think this feature is broadly beneficial and very consistent with good development strategy for Method. QB is great for accounting functions, and in many cases it would be the only tool anyone would want to use.  But, for order entry, production planning, invoicing and shipping it has a rather limited feature set.  A ...

Hey John, Thanks for that extra bit of info. As for the email still being sent it's kind of hard to tell if that is always going to be the case since all Method does is pass it to the SMTP server and it takes over (The error message that you are seeing is direct from the SMTP server). -Michael 

Michael I called ATT today. They said I was trying to send this at a time the server was really, really busy and because a program, Method,  is creating a email, there are extra steps that ATT takes that are taking place to make sure your not spamming.  I was at a Kinkos one day and the same error message popped up. The interesting ...

Thanks . . . but it doesn't seem like that "feature" is too helpful then since I can't imagine that it's very common that transactions are only created in Method.  And if transactions were only created in QB (as Paul mentioned), then I don't see a need for this feature at all.  It only seems helpful if your ...

Hey John, There is already a forum post about this issue HERE. Let me know if your circumstances are different then the ones mentioned in the other forum post. -Michael

. Glad to be of help.
