I am trying to install the latest sync engine on a newly re-installed Windows Server 2003 with QB Enterprise V11 R6.  Completely fresh install of Win Server 2003 and QB Enterprise V 11. The Method Sync Engine installer reports missing Interop.QBFC8 Version 8.0.0.87 from the Global Assembly Cache. The QB Company file still retains ...

Thanks Michael.  Yes, it does seem to work very well and even appears to support cells within cells, although I try to keep it one row of cells within the frame and avoid cell within cells to make formatting easier. It can be a bit tricky to get the borders to work as it does not cross bands and any space padding created by bands that create ...

I am experimenting with the Table Tool in the Report Designer and it looks like a really helpful tool to line up tabular data or grids in reports.  Not to be confused with data tables and screen grids. I have not been able to find any mention of this in the Webinars and the default reports do not appear to use this feature. I am thinking it ...

Good job on the fix! The innovation on Method is worth a few glitches and keeping an identical but separate test environment to control releases is always a challenge. Cheers, James

I am getting some strange grid sizing behaviour as well, but it occurs in Firefox and IE. Often the first column of the grid will display very large, squishing everything else out to the right.  It gets fairly predictable and will happen in both Firfox and IE.  I've tried to make sure ALL of my columns are set for a reasonable % ...

Valbon, I think your design would work and would be more clever but I might tend more to the "flat file" structure. Our pricing is a Base Price stored as the Sales Price, plus a Base Quantity and then tiers of pricing that have adders or penalties for being a smaller quantity than the base price.  For example the base price is ...

Great!  Now I'm really excited. Thanks for confirming this.  The screen designer combined with Actions is really an amazing tool to build an inferface.  It really keeps the user out of trouble while providing tons of functionality.      

Fantastic.  Thanks for explaining both methods. My problem actions are on the QTY text change event which occurs after the actions on my Item text change event.  I've got a Show Message Action at the end of the action sequence of the Items actions, and a Show Message at the very beginning of the QTY actions.  The Item actions ...

Valbon, Yes, that's a good idea, but the calculations are based on a bunch of values stored on the Item record that are not displayed on the screen, so I'm a bit stuck retrieving the values.  I basically have a fixed dollar amount pricing at several different levels, per item, based on quantity.  So, I'm stuck using boolean ...

Can conditional statements be nested like typical If, Then, ElseIf, Else logic?  For example two Start conditional logic statements in row followed by two End conditional statements to create a nested logic. Or, must any Start conditional statement be followed by it's End statement? The Actions guide is vague on this point of usage and ...
