The 'Clear All Checkboxes' option on the Refresh Grid action looks promising.  It should accomplish what I am intending to do. Thanks. ~V

I would like to perform an action while looping through checked items in a grid.  I would also like to uncheck the items once finished, thus preventing the user from forgetting to uncheck the items manually.  Are there actions to allow me to check/uncheck the grid column checkbox while looping through the grid? ~V

I find the 'Show Summary' for a screen to be very useful when performing customization.  I have noticed, though, that grid action sets are not included in the summary.  I suggest adding the grid actions to the screen summary. ~V

Yes Chad, I have tested this on my system and I do indeed have a discount calculated based on the subtotal line. Thanks, ~V

Chad, I was causing my own problem.  The users of the system wanted to insert line in the middle of the list, as QuickBooks allows.  Since Method only allows adding lines to the end of the list, I tried adding a sort column to the grid (n both the Estimate and Sales Order screens).  This works well enough for ordering the line ...

The EstimateLine Grid on the Estimates screen currently behaves as do all grids when requesting to add lines (rows).  The lines must be added to the end of the list.  The order of the lines, as they are added, is reflected in QuickBooks by the same order. In QuickBooks, one can insert a line anywhere in the list; adding lines is not ...

In the discussion above, the Discount line item was mentioned.  In my use of this line item, I find it does not function in Method as it does in QuickBooks, when used as a % discount.  In QuickBooks, the Disount line item calculates the % discount based on the line above it. In Method, the % discount is calculated based on the total of ...

It has been several years and I have run into the same problem.  TIn QuickBooks, the Disount line item calculates the % discount based on the line above it. In Method, the % discount is calculated based on the total of all the line items.  I cannot think of a way to work around this so that the Discount line item is consistent between ...

I know action sets can be copied from one event to another within the same screen.  Can this be done between screens?  Several of my screens share complicated functionality and I would benefit from being able to write action sets that can be shared between screens.  Like Shared Results, I would like to see Shared Action Sets, if ...

I want my EstimateLine grid to update automatically after I perform calculations in various columns after data entry or editing. I want this to happen when editing an existing line item. I planned to use the Save Grid action following by the Refresh Grid action. The Save Grid action does not save the grid to the database. When the Refresh ...
