I have been trying to do a custom invoice for a week now.  I am so frustrated with the behavior of the Report Designer and the lack of documentation on how to use it! I have been having trouble with two group headers mysteriously changing places.  Last night, somehow, I was able to get them back in the right order, however the ...

I deleted the test activities and decided to just see what would happen with existing activities, and the same error occurs. Even changing the starting hours on a copy of the stock Method screen gives the same errors. This is a problem.

The field is hidden and the default value is set to the word "Method" (without quotes. That's it - there's no other population of the field. That way, every invoice in Method will have a flag on it, as opposed to ones created in QuickBooks. The "Show in HTML Editor Option" is not checked.

I have been unable to replicate it, I turned read-only on and off but the field always shows the correct text value. How are you updating the value in this field?

Neil, One approach to consider... Save the document as a jpeg, then create a new report in Method and insert the jpeg as the only item on the report. Then you can generate the report and include it as an email attachment just like you are used to doing with the generate report action.

That wouldn't work, you would need to have the document uploaded to Method. - Ashur

Update: Well, it appears that the extra stuff in the field happens when I make it "Read-only". Is that a common thing, or a bug? I took off the "Read-only" option and I just saw a "Y".
