    Estimate Number - Cannot contain Letters?

    My estimate number scheme involves appending a number, generated by the date/time, with the rep's initials.  For instance, 101123-0118JR.  I know how to get this to do so and the Estimate # field is populated with the correct number.


    But when I save, the letters are dropped, leaving me with 101123-0118.

    I know it's not a field length issue as it will drop the letters regardless of how many numbers precede it.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Rugged

    I know it seems like it's not a field length issue but I think it is.  I just checked and it works fine in my account with letters at the end.

    The max is 11 characters in QB and therefore in method too.
