I need to be able to fill in data in a field and have it autofill that information in same field but on another screen.  So that the fields essentially sync.

For example I have a field called billing email on my customer screen.  But when I pull that customer up in an invoice I need it to populate billing email field on invoice with the billing email information stored in the customer screen.  

I have looked at documentation but confused on which direction to go.  Any help would be approeciated.  

Hi Shane,

If you added the 'billing email' field to the correct table, it should be associated with a reccordID for that customer.  Each field in a table is given a unique recordID that allows Method to find the proper record.  Take a look at some of the actions on the stock screens by making a copy and editing the copy.  Look at the actions used to populate the fields.  It's usually done by getting the current recordID.  Also take a look at 'Assign Value to Shared Result'.  That action allows you to set a variable that can be retrieved from another screen using the 'Get Value from Shared Result'.  Hopefully this gets you going in the right direction.
