Hi Joe,  Here are the responses to your questions! 1.  These are not fields added by Method, these are actually the fields added by you.  By adding the Location and LeadTime fields to your Method, the fields will always show in “Methodapisample_GetTablesFields”, since “Methodapisample_GetTablesFields” looks at your database and ...

Joe submitted some questions re: Method API.  An answer will follow shortly. "I’ve been working with the API to download data from Method and I’ve made some good progress.  I have some questions: 1.  I’ve been able to add custom fields to my QuickBooks copy and download the values through Method.  However in doing that I ...

If I were to answer this in one word; absolutely! Are you trying to make the fields available to the design screen or modify the template for a custom invoice? If you’re looking to create fields in Method, you can add custom fields to your heart’s desire at the table level.  These fields can then be easily dragged and dropped on to the ...

Hi Isreal,  Usually when you see an error like that, chances are there is a minor problem with your QB file. In your QB database, go to File > Utilities > Rebuild Data in QuickBooks.  Go through the steps of rebuilding the data and try to sync again.  Keep us posted!

Israel submitted a question saying: "When I try to sync, I’m getting this error message.. 10/28/2008 12:20:57 AM Warning: Error in OpenConnectionBeginSession, HRESULT = -2147220452 (8004041C); An internal QuickBooks error occurred while trying to access the QuickBooks company data file.; iContext=30 "

Great question and it’s important to note the difference between the two. When a field is added to a table it is automatically bound to a record in the table. As a result, any save action will automatically save the contents of this field to the database while other actions such as “Set Active Record ID” will automatically populate the fields ...

If you take a look at the Intuit Marketplace, several applications state they have “syncing” capabilities with QuickBooks.  If you have ever shopped for an add-on to QuickBooks, you know that the degree in which these third-party applications can sync with QuickBooks varies depending on who created the application. The QuickBooks SDK allows ...

 Hello  Quickbooks only allows seven user defined fields for Customers. I would like to add more fields. The new fields would not contain accounting data. I would like the new fields to be available on a custome invoice or  quote. Is that possible?  

 This seems to be working now.

Good Afternoon, Unfortunately at this point in time there is no easy way to rename a table.  It is a function that at some point down the road we’d like to include, but it will be a massive undertaking to do so, as the SQL server doesn’t have “rename table” functionality.  At present, the only way to “rename” a table is to delete the ...
