Sam, For the most part any change in Method shouldn't affect a customized screen.  This would only occur if there was a bug in the new code, and most of the changes that would impact the custom screen functionality have been bug fixes, performance improvements, or more lately some validation rules for logic.  All of these just make ...

Thanks Danny.  That explains a lot.  I'd rather be on the bleeding edge with everyone else.  Of course I might be in the wilderness with my customizations, but at least I'll have the latest defaults to test and compare. Cheers, James

Sam, I've seen other behaviour in the grid that seemed to require me to put a "0" into a numerical field, not the price field though.  For example I have some logic that runs on "Lose Focus" for calculating weights, or pricing etc. and for some reason I've seen the grid get a little finicky about having Null ...

Paul, I don't see the fix to SalesOrder_CreateInvoice though?  My account shows the Full Blown Method version of this screen as April 13, 2011.  Maybe there's an update to this screen that I don't have? This screen has the wrong Loop Through Table/Grid statement.  It terminates the loop with the Table statement, not ...

Paul, That's a relief to know the new validation rules run against all the screens. I'll try to validate Sam's observation about the clean copy of the default screen not allowing the description only entry.  I haven't really characterized the problem, and I shouldn't speculate.  My own code requires the Item field, ...

bSam, My custom Invoice screen does the same thing, it won't allow addition of a description only line item.  My screen is highly customized, but I have gone over every line of code, etc. in the default screen before making changes and my Invoice screen is working well with a lot of functionality built in, so I don't think I ...

Lorin, I think Ronen's solution above will take care of your problem. When you create a new screen as a copy of a default screen Method gives you the opportunity to replace all the tab links to the old screen with your new "customized" screen.  This is a really great feature, and you can select another option when you create ...

Sam, how's it coming?

Last update. I've inspected the Description only lines of the Invoice, one as added by QB then synch'd, the other added in the Full Blown Method Invoice screen using the table export function.  Both look identical in terms of data stored.  Neither have an Item, both have a QTY of 1, both print using the default report.

Another test, sorry so verbose. I can create a Description only line in Full Blown Method Invoice. I can print the Description only lines using Full Blown Method Invoice and the default report. So, I'm not sure what's not working, except that in my customized screen Method won't allow me to enter a Description only field without an ...
