Hi Mahlon, Sorry for the delay, I had to ask around for more information on this one. We do plan on releasing a documents app for M:N however, it has not made it into our roadmap yet. We have some other apps such as Field Services that have a greater demand, which we are going to release first. As always, I cannot provide an ETA for when new ...

Thank you Audisho, as per usual, you are THE MAN!!! I knew there was something I wasn't thinking about and that absolutely makes sense.

Hi scottaskinosie, The data in the textbox does not save because you are not specifying a location for it to save to. You need to add a custom field to your Customer table and the drag the field onto your edit customer screen. The data input into the field will then be saved in the custom field on the Customer table. I hope this helps. -Audisho

I am trying to add a text box field to my edit customer screen so that we can keep simple notes on each customer. We only need to be able to write one or two words and it does not need to synch with QB. So I added a text box object to the edit customer screen but when we add a note it does not save. I feel I may be missing someting simple here but ...

Hi callumbowran, I think the field you’re looking for here is “BillAddressState”. In Method, you will always be pulling from “dataSet1”, but then you also need to be pointing to the field Estimate.BillAddressState. You can change this from the Data Binding dropdown of the label or you can simply drag this field ...

Hi Audisho, Excellent, that's done the job. Thanks a lot. Whilst I'm bathing in naivety, perhaps you can give me a couple of hints on a few other problems I'm having: When I enter "LegalAddressState", the field comes up blank. It looks to me like it's trying to pull a string from 'dataSet1' - where exactly is ...

Hi callumbowran, Is your custom estimate print template a modification of the stock one? If so, there is a script on the label xrItemPrice used to calculate the cost. The script uses a format string with a ‘$’ that will overwrite the format string that you have set on the label. Simply replace the ‘$’ with a ...

Hi, I've just recently started using Method, and have been tasked with looking after it for the company. So, in Report Designer, I have a detail line with 'Estimate Description', 'Estimate Quantity', 'Unit of Measure', 'Estimate Rate', 'Estimate Calc Total Amount'. It all displays properly, except ...

Hi Alex, It looks like cross-band lines may not be available to scripts. Most objects exist within a band, but by definition, cross-band lines do not. I believe this poses a problem for Report Designer being able to reference them within a script. You’ll notice that you are also unable to apply a script directly on a cross-band line ...

Hi, In my report, I put a OnBeforePrint script in one "Detail" band, under this "Detail" band, there are some crossbandline, one crossbandline is named as "cbvl5" Here are code segment: Private Sub OnBeforePrint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintEventArgs) Dim ...
