Thanks Ryan! I will let you know if I still can't figure it out!

I do not know what I did, but I received an error message that some of my custom fields do not exist when I am in the screen that I have been working on for days. The error tells me that these custom fields are not in the table associated with the screen I created, but they are or I would not have been able to pull drag them in!  I checked ...

 Hey Shelley, I did a webinar on this a few weeks ago, check it out. The 2nd half of the webinar is about the Advanced Search section and doing some customization to it.

Amanda, Thanks for confirming -- I get it now!  It seems to me that if I want to make a change after entering data, I will need to export the data and re-import it to the correct field name? Is it possible to simply delete data (in a moment of madness) by deleting field names? Also, I do plan to re-use field names. I need to remove them ...

Thanks James! I am so happy I am just in the design stage! Shelley

James, thank you for jumping in - you hit that one right on the head :) Shelley, James is right in his explanation. There is no way to modify the type of field once it has been created. You would have to add new fields. Keep in mind if you would like to reuse the same field names then you would first have to delete the existing fields and then ...

Shelley, Also, I cannot change the data type of the additional fields I have added in Method (Not QB Custom Fields).  I can change the field length, but not the data type.  There does appear to be a drop down arrow indicating this widget might allow changes, but no luck getting it to work. About your Custom Screen.  I would think ...
