Hi There, I suddenly found that I have 2 screens named Estimates on the Customer Center Tab of my Method account. One is TemplateOnline-ScreenID122.aspx which seems to be working correctly, and The other is TemplateStarterEditionOnline-ScreenID152.aspx which show the following error message below. How can I get rid of it? Thank ...

Hi Denis, I still have an issue with this matter. I only use Method to do the whole [Estimate --> Work Order --> Invoice] process, and I dont use QB to control the invoice numbers. This way, I dont have QB open all the time, BUT I need to produce and email invoices directly from Method, with all the data properly filled, so I can invoice ...

All of the fields still exist, as far as I can tell in the "Edit Table" screen.   Action number 24 is an action that tries to update a field in one of the tables. The action number that causes the error changes, but it is always the first action that tries to update a value in the EstimateLine table. Editing and saving the ...

I just wanted to add a bit more to this. There is a chance that this error was happening before but just not being displayed. We have made some recent changes to Method to better detect errors. By any chance are you updating values based on RecordID? If that's the case you may want to add a Save Section to the Text Change event to ensure that ...

Hi akoumjian, I would confirm that the UnitPrice field still exists. You can also try regenerating the table by editing the table where the UnitPrice field exists and clicking Finished Editing Fields. What is action number 24? -Michael

Hi James, When using the Call Another Action Set action the action results from the called action set are not available to be used within the new Action Set. Just to clarify what is the end result you are looking for; maybe there is another way of achieving the results you are looking for? P.S When using shared results its good practice to ...

We are having a minor emergency here. I returned from vacation to discover that Method has been throwing errors on all of our Estimates (and possibly other screens). We have customized the estimate line items table to include some additional fields such as margin and unit price. I have not made any changes to this screen for a while, so I'm ...

 Hi Brett, Currently there is no way to have a 10 lines textbox not push down the other fields. I will bring this up as a suggestion in our group meetings and if it's a viable feature you could see it somewhere down the road. To get some padding between cells what I normally do is use 5 columns and leave the middle column blank, another ...

Geekiod, This can also happen when you delete fields from the screen you are working on. When you delete a field it adds it back to the Add Fields list which causes the list to grow and pushes down the buttons at the bottom of the Toolbox. In future you can just right-click in the toolbox and select Reload Page and it should correct the ...

Well, nevermind. I think I've answered my own question, or at least confirmed the limits of Action Results.  The Show Message action will only support the use of Action Results referenced in the same action sequence.  It also does not allow direct usage of a Shared Result, so presumably the Shared Result would need to be passed into ...
