Ben, Thanks, those are perfectly fine solutions.  I could also try changing my screen resolution to a lower resolution before opening the browser. Can I edit old screens made in Method Classic with Method New? I am terrified of losing support of my custom screens.  Method has been such an incredible tool.  I certainly don't ...

When I am in the Screen Designer trying to customize a screen, when I select an object in a cell with my cursor the red phantom of the object location is several cells above the currently activated object.  When I try to move the object to another cell it is very hard to get it into the cell I want because the ghost object will often appear ...

Yeah, I think an E-mail notification would be good.  Although that might just send us back to trying to figure out the root cause.  There is something odd about the way the engine retries to connect related to it's stored memory of the login and password, etc.  And timers and counters for retrying.  When I reconnect I am ...

Ben, Thanks so much.  Now I feel kind of stupid about this.  I thought I had tried doing the same thing, maxing out the rows and columns to see if they would show up, but maybe I was not thorough enough. I think I can now just fix the field positioning and add back the fields I've already removed in the Section. Best ...

Jim, Thanks so much for following up.  I'm not really sure how current the problem is.  When it is happening it can go days or even weeks before it hangs up.  It's not a big problem except that I don't know it's happened until someone else is trying to do something in Method and they see that records are not ...

Ben, No secrets, no problem. The screen is named Estimate(Rev 1) in the okfoundry account. The fields are in the Section 'Billing and Shipping Addresses' I have removed all the other fields.  So, you can see the fields in a less than ideal layout when you view the screen, but when you view the screen in the screen customization ...

I've had the same issue.  It takes a long time before it happens, but it has been going on for a long time.  I have simplified my QB and Sync Engine hosting onto a Windows 7 PC that does not get shut off instead of the server solution I was using since I need to keep a user logged into QB, etc.  I do not know why the Sync Engine ...

Using Edge under Windows 10 didn't help. And, it's slow as heck for some reason. Help!

I have some phantom fields in a custom screen section.  The fields cannot be seen in the customize screen view, but they show up on the screen when it loads up in the browser.  Somehow the screen field objects have become invisible in the design view.  I have tried to delete the section to start over again, but it won't ...

Fran, That's fantastic.  Wish I had it 4 years or so ago. Yes, nuances.  Like why does QB have a Name and FullName for some tables?  I'm sure I've figured that one out some time ago, but now I forget.  And all those address fields that QB holds and how they print on Checks, etc.  Fun stuff.  But, really ...
