Thanks for all the replies. I must be going crazy, now I recall this is where I found the resolution to the problem a couple of weeks ago.

I clearly have been staring at the the screen for too long ;)

Good to hear about the fix. If you have a call number I can refer to that would be really helpful.

Cheers
Simon

Hi,
Just came across this one today and logged it with Epicor. If you are using Windows 7 and set your screen text size to 125%, log out and back in then attempt to open the Opportunity/Quote form you get three error messages the first one being "Object Reference not and instance of an object" error. This only appears to happen with the quote form

If anyone has seen this behavior before can you let me know the workaround (apart from setting the text size back to 100%).

Once again I've logged this with Epicor.

You may not think this is a big thing. Yes we don't have many people using that Windows feature (only one). But when that one is CEO you really need a better fix than changing and logging out then in again.

I hope this helps someone if they are having the same issue. We are on 9.05.701 64bit SQL.

Cheers
Simon

I had this issue as well. I experimented with different sizes and found
that the error goes away at 110%.
I wish (getting old!) I could have left it higher, but what can you do?

We have a user with poor eyesight and were able to get a patch from Epicor for this.

We are on 9.05.700C
