Row Level Filtering – Proof of Concept
This is a reposting of an article I originally wrote on my Developing for Dynamics GP blog.
Over the years I have seen requests for Row Level Filtering functionality within Microsoft Dynamics GP.
Developing For Dynamics GP
VBA – Adding Fields to VBA stops working
This is a reposting of an article I originally wrote on my Developing for Dynamics GP blog.
While working with Microsoft Dynamics GP v9.00, I have seen a situation where adding fields to VBA does not work anymore. You can add windows and reports, but when adding a field they don’t show up on the project.
Dex – How to get started with Dexterity
This is a reposting of an article I originally wrote on my Developing for Dynamics GP blog.
Something I am often asked is how to get started with Dexterity. As Dexterity is not really known outside of the Microsoft Dynamics GP world, there are not a large number of books available on the subject, like there are for Visual Basic or Visual C#.
Choosing a Development Tool
This is a reposting of an article I originally wrote on my Developing for Dynamics GP blog.
One of the great things about Microsoft Dynamics GP is the fact that there so many options available to integrate with or customise the application.

Great News for Visual Studio developers working with Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0.
Support Debugging Tool for Microsoft Dynamics GP
This is a reposting of an article I originally wrote on my Developing for Dynamics GP blog.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Support Debugging Tool is now GP Power Tools from Winthrop Development Consultants (https://winthropdc.com/GPPT)
You may have heard about the Support Debugging Tool for Microsoft Dynamics GP. A sneak preview of the tool was shown at the Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Airlift 2008 in May and it was extremely well received. The demo was a little premature as the tool’s release to the partner community was still in the planning stage, but the opportunity to show what it can do to the partners at the conference could not be missed.
Hybrid – Clearing the Last User on a Terminal Server Example
This is a reposting of an article I originally wrote on my Developing for Dynamics GP blog.
Microsoft Dynamics GP remembers the last user to use the application and defaults the User ID into the login window next time the application is loaded. This is useful when only a single user uses the specific workstation install. In a Terminal Server or Citrix environment, multiple users use a single workstation install and so it would preferable if the User ID was left blank when the application launches.
VBA – Running VBA scripts after Login or before Logout Example
This is a reposting of an article I originally wrote on my Developing for Dynamics GP blog.
Sometimes you need to run VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) scripts after a successful login attempt. Using the OK Button on the Company Selection window does not always work as the login could still fail. For example, the user is already logged into the selected company. Also this does not help capture the logging out.
SnapShot for Microsoft Dynamics GP
This is a reposting of an article I originally wrote on my Developing for Dynamics GP blog.
Not long after I joined Microsoft in May 2001, I found myself working as part of a global development team for Asia Pacific. The team was based in Manila in the Philippines and was involved in a regional research project to check the feasibility of releasing a version of Great Plains eEnterprise v6.0 for China.
Modifier – Extending the length of a Field Example
This is a reposting of an article I originally wrote on my Developing for Dynamics GP blog.
The following VBA example extends the Reference field on the GL Transaction Entry window from string field of 30 characters to a text field of 200 characters. The first 30 characters of the text field are populated into the original string field so it will contain data when viewed on a non-modified window or report.
