In just under a month’s time my wife, Jennifer, and I will be flying from Perth via Sydney and Dallas/Fort Worth to Nashville, Tennessee, USA for two weeks at the Community Summit 2026 conference.
During the first week (Monday 5th to Friday 9th October 2026), I will be running Dexterity Fundamentals training at the massive Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville. Then on Sunday 11th October, I will be running Academy training for GP Power Tools.
Once the conference starts you will find us at Expo Booth 321. Swing by and say G’day.
Read on for more information on the two training classes and the sessions I am presenting or assisting with.
Calling all Microsoft Dynamics GP customers and partners.
It is vital that you have “in-house” knowledge and skills to support and maintain your customizations. With the upcoming changes to the Microsoft Dynamics GP support and consulting landscape, if you work with any customizations to your Microsoft Dynamics GP system, you need to know how to maintain them.
David Musgrave from Winthrop Development Consultants will be running two extremely valuable development training courses in the lead up to Community Summit 2026, and now is the time to register. There is no guarantee these classes will be offered again.
Starting in August 2026, the planned changes to the subscription model for 2027 for Visual Studio Integration Toolkit (VSIT) have been taking effect.
This article explains how those changes effect customers and partners of the product and hopefully answers any and all questions you might have. This article has been added to the VSIT Portal: https://winthropdc.com/VSIT

If you’ve ever needed to change an existing Customer ID or Vendor ID you would have found that there are tools available, but if you need to change the Address ID values for addresses associated with Customers and Vendors, you would you would be in for an arduous, manual, time consuming task as there are no tools available.
This article provides free sample projects that add these tools to Microsoft Dynamics GP using GP Power Tools – Developer Tools module. The code can be downloaded and installed easily.
After the release of Microsoft SQL Server 2025, we are now starting to see customer sites implementing the new version in their Microsoft Dynamics GP environments.
So far, I have been notified by two customers, that I work closely with, that they are having issues with Dynamics GP performance being slower on the SQL Server 2025 than their previous SQL Server version.
The following information on the issue and a solution has been provided by my colleague and friend, Arthur Achilleos, with a call out to Rob Farley MVP (who assisted Arthur’s troubleshooting).
