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, Have you had a look at the XRCrossBandLine documentation? Would you consider posting your script? It’s difficult for me to determine the cause of the issue without seeing what you’re doing. -Audisho

Hi CDvin, We deployed an update today that resolved the issue with portal registration. Please test this out and let me know if you still have any concerns. I hope this helps. -Audisho

Hi, In report designer, I try to access a crossbandline in script. However, I always get error like: Detail.OnBeforePrint, Line 27: error BC30451: Name "cvbl5" is not declared. "cvbl5" is name of my crossbandline. I can access label in the script without any problem, so the question is, how can I access crossbandline in ...

Got it. So far, I just use some "sparing" fields from QBs (like other1, other2, ..) to work as custom fields, so we can pass information between QB and Method. - ALex
