Hello, I'd like to add a button which opens up the user's default email client (Outlook, gmail, etc.), inserts the relevant to: and subject: fields, and possibly adds an attachment. I do not want to send mail through Method, for a variety of reasons. I know that for the attachment, I need to generate a report and save it as an action ...

Hi Matt, In order to have a better resolution to your problem, can you give me an example of a query you would do with a MethodAPIUpdateV2? With a change of code if there is a duplicate name, but you are not editing the name field itself, then you should not be getting any error messages and the record will be updated with data you had passed ...

Hi, I am trying to get the value of Balance when I select a particular customer(Field is Fullname) without using grid.  Do I have to use Conditional statement or retrieve value from table action.  

Hi Victor, I tied it again last night and I'm still getting the same message occasionally. With the change to the code, what should happen if there is a duplicate name? Should it now be saving the update?

I am using the MethodAPIUpdateV2 to update fields in the Customer table. All of the fields that I am attempting to update are fields that I added, I am not trying to update the CustomerName or FullName fields. Occasionally I get the error "Save Warning: The Customer/Employee/Vendor/OtherName could not be sent to QuickBooks.  This Name is ...

James - "It recognizes pdf file type and presents an Adobe icon, but this object type does not have the ability to create Actions, etc. so you can't DO anything with the attachment, like view it, print it, or download it to the PC client." -This isn't true, though, or at least it is not how it is supposed work.  By clicking ...

IJA, Did you ever get an answer to this or find a solution? I am trying to do something similiar.  I have engineering drawings in pdf format that I want to attach to Item records.  The Attachment object type appears to have no other functionality than attaching the file.  It recognizes pdf file type and presents an Adobe icon, ...
