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!

 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 ...

Is there a way to rename a table without losing the relationship with the data stored in it?
