The debugging sounds good to me. I was working on a few actions and was wondering the same thing. Thanks, John M

Hi Andy, Adding a new field to a table (in your case Invoice or InvoiceLine) in Method should also make it available on the Report Designer. You might have to close the report and re-open it to see the changes. Maybe that's why you didn't see it last night but it worked in the morning?  

I've noticed a strange grid behavior as of late.  When I save a record (save button) and a grid with a select link refreshes, the grid formating changes.  The column with the select link expands and takes up the majority of the grid.  Has anyone else experienced this?  I'm typically using firefox as a browser.

Hi Paulette, A grid is just a visual representation of the data from the table and by default, the grids are read-only. I assume that you have customized the grid to allow for editing and new entries directly on the grid (steps 5 & 6 of grid properties) and that is why you are asking for a default value. Unlike using fields on the screen, ...

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.) ...

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 ...
