Method Community

I just wanted to add a bit more to this. There is a chance that this error was happening before but just not being displayed. We have made some recent changes to Method to better detect errors. By any chance are you updating values based on RecordID? If that's the case you may want to add a Save Section to the Text Change event to ensure that ...

Paul,  Thanks for answering my question.  I am looking really forwrd to working with Method! To answer your question . . . .No, I haven't used it yet.  The reason I asked about the direct access was because one of the things the client I am developing for is wanting to be able to use Access to design reports and queries on the ...

Hi Amanda. This is a good work-around for creating the desired grouping on the visual level. The reason though, that I was asking if it were possible to insert between two records on the table level, was to avoid needing that additional column. To conserve space I was grouping by record number (record:X to record:Y), and just putting all ...

"You shouldn’t have to delete the field. What table is the field coming from? If this field synch" I was wanting to allow certain text fields not only be able to contained typed in values, but also have a list of predefined values for convenience. An example might be the TextBox for CreditLimit set to be a decimal value. I'd ...

Hi Method, I am trying how to figure out how to link a field between two different tables. I want to be able to update the field on one screen and have it automatically update on another screen. I am trying to be able to update a field called "Warehouse Slot" on our Add\Edit Work Order Screen. I then want this field to populate on ...

I followed these steps to set up a Credit Card transaction entry screen.  However, when I click Save/New, I'm setting an error message that reads "The 'Save' action could not be completed.Validation on: RecordID.Validation rule: must a numeric value" I looked at the RecordID field, but there isn't a validation rule ...

Hey, You would have to relate the two tables, which will allow us to add Linked Fields from your software Table onto the Customer table. Start by adding the 'software version' tables RecordID as a dropdown to the Customer table: on the next step choose the correct Table and your option will be RecordID. Now that we have ...

Sam, I do this also.  The automatically created screen is perfect for those simple drop down tables.  I have about a dozen of them and I just put them on a tab that users wouldn't see so when I want to add drop down values I just go to the auto screen and make entries. Cheers, James

Hi Sixtel, In Maureen’s example, if you add a grid link and label it "Delete", the necessary actions should be added to the link's actions automatically. If not, you’ll want to add the following: - Delete Record From Table - Refresh Grid Depending on what you're doing with records in this table, you may want to ...

Hi pdx971, This has to be done manually, since the Save All Sections action only saves information for the table the screen is based off of. You'll want to add a Textbox object (for your student number) to the screen, and add a few actions at the end of your Save button.  You can use a Retrieve Value From ...
