David Meego - Click for blog homepageIn 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.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageCalling 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.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageIf 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.

This example uses GP Power Tools to make the Reason Code field on the Item Transfer Entry Scrolling window required. This article was prompted by a support request that came in today.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageDo you want to customize Microsoft Dynamics GP or have customizations that you want to support into the future? Now is your chance for both customers and partners to get trained in Dexterity, the development environment that Dynamics GP is built on.

Understanding Dexterity will help any developer working with Dynamics GP regardless of the development environment they end up using. This knowledge is vital for developers using Dexterity, Visual Studio Tools (C# or VB.Net), “End of Life” Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) or using the GP Power Tools – Developer Tools module.

I will be running the 5-day Dexterity Fundamentals for Dynamics GP bootcamp training class in the week before the Community Summit conference in Nashville, Tennessee, USA in October. Please register for the training now and plan to be in Nashville for the week before the conference.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageRecently, Mike from Thybar Corporation contacted me about an issue he was seeing in Microsoft Dynamics GP v18.7 with General Journal document attachments.

Journal Entry attachments that had been added before upgrading Microsoft Dynamics GP to v18.7 could no longer be viewed from the Journal Entry Inquiry window after the upgrade.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageThis article is an update to previous articles about errors on temporary tables when using Microsoft Dynamics GP. We have seen a recent increase in issues of this type as well as a misunderstanding of what is happening to cause the issues.

The issue shows as a dialog with a message like:

An open operation on table ‘MBS_sySecurityView’ failed because the path does not exist
An open operation on table ‘WDC_Field_Security_Tag_TEMP’ failed because the path does not exist
An open operation on table ‘IV_Reconcile_PO_TEMP’ has an incorrect record length.

The name of the table can vary but the examples above include a couple of common ones from products I created, being GP Power Tools and Field Level Security (Advanced Security). However, this issue is due to the Windows environment and has nothing to do with the Dexterity product or SQL Server.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageHere is an awesome update to the previous sample customization which added 6 Additional Item Category Fields:

This update makes the following improvements, but does need at least Build 32 of GP Power Tools to work:

  1. Replacing the data storage location with GPPT Custom SQL Tables instead of the DUOS (Dynamic User Object Store) table, including providing a script to move any existing DUOS data to the new tables.
  2. Updating the Report Writer functions with the faster memory-based parameters options.
  3. Adding the 6 additional Item Category fields to the Item Class Setup window, including pulling the fields when a class is added and roll down class level changes.
