    Unable to get New Lead tab to link to the custom screen I've created

    I've tried to link the New Lead tab to a new custom screen I've created, but it keeps going to the standard New Lead screen.  Here's what I did:

    1. I added fields to the Customer table.

    2. I created a copy of the CRMQBO_NewLead screen, but I did not "replace tab links."

    3. I made changes to the new screen I had created, including adding the new fields I had added to the Customer table.  I clicked Publish and then Save & Close.

    4. I created a copy of my custom screen, and this time I chose "replace tab links" of CRMQBO_NewLead.

    BUT...the "New Link" tab still pointed to the old screen.  So...

    5. I went to Customization/Tabs and manually checked the tab link.  It says it should be pointing to my new screen.

    So what should I do now?  Why is the New Lead tab not pointing to my custom-made screen, even though the tab link says it should?

    Thanks,

    Eric

    Hi Eric,

    Your process is correct.  I tested using my account and it worked as it should.  What do you see when you hover over the tablink?  It should list your new screen there, like below:

    How are you accessing this screen?  By clicking it directly or through for instance the "New Lead" button on the Leads and Contacts List screen?
