I would like to know if there is a way for us to insert a web page window object into a custom screen, then have an action inside that screen affect an object outside of the window object, i.e. call a Refresh Grid action, call a web service, or something along those lines? Is this possible?

Hi Praveen, In order to add a custom field to the EstimateLine grid, you’ll need to first add it to the EstimateLine table.

While I have you here, is there a way for me to move things around in these action sets that i have not noticed besides clicking the little up and down arrows? That can get real real cumbersome when you have 25 entries and are adding 8 more that need to be up at the top.
