New questions & issues: I created a new Activity(2) screen and customized the Complete, Save & Close button to include two new Character Function calls for the Contacts and SalesRep tables, so that I can use their fields for merging. (Copied them from the CF call for the Customer table, and inserted just after it in the If/Then sequence.) ...

Can conditional statements be nested like typical If, Then, ElseIf, Else logic?  For example two Start conditional logic statements in row followed by two End conditional statements to create a nested logic. Or, must any Start conditional statement be followed by it's End statement? The Actions guide is vague on this point of usage and ...

Is there a debug mode or logging mode to help troubleshoot problems with Actions? I have an action sequence kicked off by a text change event and nothing is happening.  I've added a Message to the beginning of the Action Sequence to see if any of the sequence is getting kicked off, but the message is not showing. This is being used in ...

  I am creating some logic on the Sales Order screen to automatically calculate pricing based on the line item Quantity.  I am using Text Change events on both the Item field and the Quantity field.  The idea is to update all of the pricing data when the Item changes and then calculate the pricing whenever the Quantity ...

Thanks Paul...especially on the weekend ~ awesome support! Now, when I see that screen again creating a dropdown that you had mentioned, I will know exactly what it means.

Brett - You're good to go.  It wasn't the problem I thought it was.  It was simply that when you created the dropdown you selected "RecordID" as the display field instead of "FullName". This was in the original Tables/Fields setup, long before you got to designing your Bids screen.   So in the ...

Geekoid - I think I've seen this before.  FullName should have unique values.  Any chance there are duplicate values in the Fullname field?  You might have two customers or vendors with the same name, or two blank entries. If you want me to check into it, PM me your Company Account and have your MethodSupport turned ...

Ok, I think I found the problem with method. When I choose FullName for the 1st column for the dropdown for my Vendor, after I publish and save and test the screen, it shows only the RecordID. And if go back and edit this screen, it shows RecordID for the 1st column; it doesn't save my selection to display FullName only. I can only force this ...

Hi Paul, Thanks for your help. I was able to find the dropdown from the list of screens and add/delete options from there. In regards to designer, I know what you mean. I ran into problems with dragging from the InvoiceLine dataset before and realized it only works if I drag from within the InvoiceLine inside the Invoice dataset. While I was ...

I'm trying to create a new section for vendors similar to Activities called Bids. I've created a new table for Bids but I can't replicate what the Activities table shows, which is a text field called ActivityCompanyName Linked Via the Entity table. How can I create a text field in my bid table that is linked to the Vendor table or is ...
