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.

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 ...

When you create a dropdown field all the values that appear in the list are actually in a different table.   When you are in the invoice screen, for example, the Customer dropdown shows you all the customers from the Customer table. So in your case you created a new dropdown field, I'm guessing, in the Customer table, called say ...

Another thing about these user created fields. How do I get it to show up in Report Designer so that I can incorporate it with the printed version of the invoice?

More specifically, it's a dropdown field that I want to add more options to when I drop down.
