Winthrop Development Consultants, a Knights of GP Preferred ISV, invites you to join the rest of the Microsoft Dynamics GP community to celebrate what makes the community so fantastic …. its people.
Please register your spot at the PowerGP Online Party at Community Summit 2026 in Nashville, TN, USA. We are extremely proud to join our fellow sponsors and the team from Njevity to make this event possible.
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
There are a number of Maths puzzles doing the rounds on social media and many are based on the following theme:
The current one on Facebook is 16 ÷ 4(2+2) with people arguing over whether the answer is 16 or 1. I am writing this article because the “strict and literal use” of the PEMDAS or BODMAS mnemonics does not always give the correct answer.
However, it is possible to use the order of operations to solve to the correct answer of 1 in all situations, even with this deliberately ambiguous mathematical expression.
Winthrop Development Consultants is fully committed to the continued support of Microsoft Dynamics GP and its ecosystem. Our ISV products are only compatible with Dynamics GP and have been created to solve pain points and missing features as requested by the GP community.
While Microsoft has stated that they will cease support for Dynamics GP in 2031, it is important to note that “End of Support” does not equate to “End of Life”. There is plenty of life left in the product and, with the support of the community, GP will live on well past the official end of support. A driving force in the community support will be the Knights of GP.
As much as I love and use Microsoft Products, they sometimes make bad decisions or introduce very annoying bugs. This article addresses a bug introduced on 16-Dec-2025 in Microsoft Outlook Version 2512 (Build 19530.20038 Click-to-Run) Current Channel.
The issue is that email signatures using a table will now have the border showing by default regardless of whether it was showing before the update.
I am finally getting back to work after travelling and presenting at Community Summit 2025 in Orlando and visiting family in the UK. Still got lots of tasks to catch up on but I wanted to write about the Knights of GP.
The Knights of GP is planned to be a community based co-op of customers, consultants, Independent Software Developers (ISVs) and partners who will work together after Microsoft stops supporting Microsoft Dynamics GP to allow the product to remain supported by the community who use and love it. Join us for the tomorrow’s Fireside Chat…
This is an article I wrote for the recently released Fido magazine. The magazine was published in time for Community Summit 2025 in Orlando by Fidesic, who offer Payables Automation solutions for Microsoft Dynamics GP and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Go visit them at booth 1545 for the full magazine.
Thanks to Carl Robinette from Fidesic who reached out and offered the opportunity to write an article for the magazine, and to my wife, Jennifer, who helped me with multiple rewrites. 🙂
Winthrop Development Consultants is still fully committed to the Microsoft Dynamics GP product and its fantastic community. We continue to put a huge amount of effort into making the lives of the members of the GP Community easier, simpler and less stressful.
As part of this stress release effort and to help provide advanced networking opportunities, we are very proud to sponsor the PowerGP Online Party at Community Summit 2025 in Orlando, FL, USA.
Today, I received an email from Terry Heley of Microsoft confirming that the End of Support date for Microsoft Dynamics GP has been extended by 3 months from 30th September 2029 to 31st December 2029.
This extension enables the Microsoft Dynamics GP development and support teams to release an End of Year (EOY) update to meet any of the payroll and tax requirements to complete the year.

Happy New Year.
I would not normally publish an article where I reference a specific company, but the behavior of this company, while not necessarily illegal, is deceptive and morally wrong.
A recent video expose by the YouTube Channel: MegaLag has highlighted how the Honey free browser extension works and what it is really doing behind the scenes.
