Where are you trying to use that code that it is giving you that error? From what I'm reading in the post you linked that script is something to just put into the console and run but it kind of looks like you have in in a native QuickBase field.
- MeganLatulippe6 years agoQrew TraineeOh my God, I can't believe I didn't notice it needed to put into the console. You're right, I was putting it in a field ! Another dumb question ( I'm incredibly new to API all around) How do I enter it into the console? I'm not sure where the console is in Quickbooks .

A word of warning though. Make sure you fully understand what a piece of code is going to do before running it. I don't mean read what the people posting it say it does, but understand the code itself. The people on this forum are generally pretty good and I would say anything Dan Diebolt posts or has on his QuickBase reference pages is legit and will not harm your records. However, sometimes the code is old and doesn't work exactly as you would expect it to or things have changed over the years. So it is still a good idea to at the very least test the code on a copy of the app that you make. That way you are not going to cause a big problem if it fails.
If you cannot get it to work or are not great with code you can always explore the way QuickBase Coach said he could do it. They generally prefer more native solutions so if you want to do it without code they can get you there.- MeganLatulippe6 years agoQrew TraineeYeah, I'm too dumb for the code in the console. I just can't seem to wrap my head around which/what table information to put in the source and target sections. I don't know why, it's just not computing for me.
