how to change fields in "Find Invoice" dialog box

[R. Victor Klassen]

What you are requesting, I expect, is a change/enhancement in the code, which would require a developer to make the change.
Developers watch/respond to this list, so there might be some interest.

I often would find it handy to search for an invoice seeing the amount, as you describe.  

However, for your specific case, there is an existing way.   If you select “Process Payment” under the Business->Customer sub-menu, the dialogue that comes up will let you choose a customer.
Once that customer is selected, you get to see all the unpaid invoices for that customer (including, in particular, the amount).   Select the appropriate invoice or invoices and you’re on your way.
