Hi Praveen, Any field that you do not want to allow editing to take place on the grid you can set as read-only. Just select the Advanced options for the field and check the Make Read Only box. The field can still be updated by screen actions, but the user will be unable to change the value. I hope this helps. --Audisho

That's very very helpful! I had to make some new buttons (like save and save & close etc) on my edit customer screen and now I can actually hook them into the that hidden field that controls when the buttons show up!

Ok this is what I was suspecting. I'll have to go into my conditionals and rehide the things that started out hidden, then.

Well, it would be good to know both. But for now, let's just consider the case of the same documents for all users.

Hi Sixtel, If a screen has already been loaded, changing the screen’s active Record ID will not reset the screen to its original load state. You’ll need to reset the state manually via an action set. You can do this in the OnScreenLoad event, or on the Back / Close buttons of the screen when you navigate away from the record. I hope ...

Hi Praveen, Welcome to the Method forum! The Amount field is already used to display quantity * rate. What is it that you’re trying to accomplish here? --Audisho

Hi Trish, The linking of the fields between the Customer and the Primary Contact is done on the backend to conform with QuickBooks rules. You can replicate this behaviour in Method at the screen level for custom fields, but it requires more work. You would need to add this logic to the save button on the New Customer, Edit Customer and Add / ...
