Set up a Screen based on the Blackout table.   Add a grid with a few columns.  All of your data should display.  Then add an addition "select" column.  This allows you to add an action to this column. Call this column "Delete line"   Add the "delete"action.  and "refresh ...

Sixtel, Everyrecord in everytable in Method has a unique RECORDID.   FullName is the key field for the Customer Table( it has to be unique also).  It is the customer's name...It's RecordID is the unique number assigned to that name.  This is how you associate the customer attributes (like billing address ) with a particular ...

Hi Sixtel, The Customer table is the table that links to QB.  It is really a subset of the Entity table, which is  the QB table that contains all of Customer, Vendor, Employee and Other Namess.   The Contacts table is a Method table. It includes all of the Entity table names (as fullnames) as well as the additional ...

Got another one.  How can I delete entries from tables that I made?  Example, I made a table called BlackoutDate and i entered a bunch of test data while setting up a screen and grid for it. I need to get that test data out because it's not relavant.  thanks!

Hello all!  I seem to have resolved this by linking on FULL NAME instead of on recordID. I still don't really know what recordID is, so if anyone has any insite on that I would much appreciate it!

Hey GroGreen, I do not recommend that you sync a new QuickBooks database to your existing Method account. Even though you can copy the data between QuickBooks databases, Quickbooks will assign unique RecordID's and TransactionsID's to every transaction/record. Method uses these RecordId's and TransactionID's to match up its ...

Never mind, found it! It was in the Date Function options. I believe it was in the Action Result option in Method Classic!

In Method Classic there was a way to calculate the difference between two dates. I am trying to calculate the duration of an activity but can't seem to figure out how to do it in Method New. The math function won't work for this. Is there currently a way?

OK. What would happen if I created a new Quickbooks account and directed Method to access the new file? In this case, before doing so, I'd copy all of my Customers, Vendors etc. beforehand. I wouldn't transfer balances or transactions, as these wouldn't be relevant to the 'new company'.
