Hi Chris, Unfortunately the "Set color for field object" action doesn't works for buttons, only fields and objects.  Your workaround with swapping buttons (hide/show) is likely the best way to go about this.  In regards to your other issue "keep this side-by-side other objects..." not sticking, are you able ...

Hi Devan, This likely wouldn't happen because of any Method updates or changes.  I have seen this happen in the past when screens have been deleted incorrectly, but I would have to take a quick look at your account to confirm this is the case.  If you want me to do this, please email me either through the forums, or at ...

Jeff, Glad to hear it! -Ben

Mike, After looking further at your "Company Name 33" example, I have a better idea on what is happening here.  When you enter this Customer in Method, the record gets saved exactly as you wrote it from the "NewCustomer" screen.  However, as soon as this record gets synced with your QuickBooks account, the ...

Mike, Off-hand I can't really think of an easy way to do this.  I would think you could possibly save these values to shared action results for these 2 fields in the grid for the top item on a "Lose Focus" event.  Then do something like add a button so after you have filled these grid rows with new Line items, when you ...

Hi Dodom2, We generally only request to look into a Customer's Account if we feel it might be a direct Support issue on these forums, however from what you are describing, this seems more like a customization issue.  We do answer most customization questions here on the forums, however if we find something is too advanced, or ...

Mike, I was actually including the spaces in the full string, which the database would do, so it would be > 41 in your initial example.  Also, I agree with you regarding how QuickBooks takes in this field, and breaks it out in the first and last name fields.  I still feel the issue with the 6's being dropped was because of the ...

MikeH, After some further testing, I have pin-pointed the issue here, however this is not a bug in Method.  For your test example with the numbers, you are entering in values > 41 characters in length, the issue is that the Contacts field in the Customer table can only hold values <=41 characters.  You can confirm this ...

Hi JPW, Method_Adam actually just reminded me of another Knowledge Base article we have on this subject.  Here is the link, this article explains how to delete many records at a time, in a similar fashion to my example above with the "Make Inactive" Button, however it explains it in more much more detail.  This might be useful ...

Hi SWiles, I have come across this in the past, my solution was to just Zip compress any file that isn't a valid format for uploading.  Another, less elegant solution is to manually change the file "Type" , or extension of your file to one that is acceptable, however I cannot gaurantee this file will ...
