Community Summit 2026 will be held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville, Tennessee, USA from 11th October 2026 to 15th October 2026. I am again planning to offer Microsoft Dynamics GP Development Training during the week before the conference. Please respond to the survey below to register your interest and preference for what training class should be run.
Update: The 5 day Dexterity I course and the 1 day GP Power Tools workshop have been selected.
Community Summit Conference 2021, hosted by Dynamic Communities (DC) ran in Houston, Texas, USA last week from 12th to 15th October 2021.
I presented a session on Microsoft Dynamics GP development tools. Because I am still unable to leave Australia due to the pandemic border closures, the session was a pre-recorded video presentation.
Community Summit Conference 2021, hosted by Dynamic Communities (DC), is happening right now in Houston, Texas, USA until from 12th to 15th October 2021.
I am presenting a session on Microsoft Dynamics GP development tools as the first session of the day on Friday. As I am still unable to leave Australia due to the pandemic border closures, the session has been pre-recorded and will be run as a video presentation.
However, I will be online in a Microsoft Teams Meeting for the duration of the session and would love for anyone attending the conference (and those just interested in GP Development) to join me and others in the community for a chat and Q & A session.
Dynamic Communities (DC), the team behind GPUG, will be hosting their Community Summit Conference on 12th to 15th October 2021. The agenda with sessions has now been posted online and I will be presenting a session on Microsoft Dynamics GP development tools.

As we move into the world of Service Based Architecture with Dynamics GP 2015, we wanted to highlight some debugging tools that will aid you as you create service procedures of your own. Today you have various things available to you to debug integrations as they are created. Among them are internal tools like the Dexterity script logs and the debugger or methods as simple as dropping the .set file on the runtime executable to ensure Dynamics still launches without error. There are numerous external tools at your fingertips as well such as SQL Profiler, Task Manager and Event Viewer. While you will continue to find great value in these going forward when debugging things “inside” of the Dynamics GP environment we wanted to add tools for gathering information for all of the service events happening “outside” this environment and coming into the Dexterity Process.

Last week, I had an interesting case where a Dexterity Developer was having trouble getting some code to update a range of records selected in a table. The code would only update the first record in the range.

Hello, my name is Alice Newsam and I am software engineer on the Dynamics GP team focusing on Dexterity and I have a question for you:
Have you ever thought to yourself while working in Dexterity “I know there’s a .NET class that does this. It would be handy to access that right about now.” or “If only I could increase the string size to hold that data.”?
Well read on because you’ll be excited to learn about a feature that the GP Development team is currently working on for the GP 2015 release: .NET Interop.

A customer ran across an interesting issue with Excel Based Budgeting after they upgraded to GP 2013.

This will be a 2-for-1 post today as the example given solves a frequently asked question and was used to solve a customer issue.

One thing we’ve noticed recently is an uptick of cases involving Visual Studio Tools assemblies causing Dynamics GP to crash after being installed.

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 introduced another long sought after feature….
The Named System Database.
Instead of the System database being hardcoded to DYNAMICS, a different name can be selected when installing GP.
So what does that mean? Well, it means that more than one Dynamics GP system can reside on a single instance of SQL Server. Before when a second Dynamics GP system was needed, you would have to install a new instance of SQL Server. Now you can have multiple System Databases on a single server without needing additional instances of SQL Server.

As you may know, I was one of the pioneers of Cross Dictionary Dexterity Development and have posted about it a number of times (also see Can I customise a 3rd party form with Dexterity? and Understanding Cross Dictionary Dexterity Development).

I recently responded to a community post which was asking how to ensure that all save events from the Item Maintenance window were captured using Visual Studio Tools. The aim was to make sure that the additional fields added to the window with Modifier were saved when the item data in the window was saved.

The Connector for Microsoft Dynamics provides a powerful integration platform that can be customized and extended with the CRM Connector SDK and Web Services for Microsoft Dynamics GP SDK tool sets. The CRM Connector for Microsoft Dynamics GP page in PartnerSource has various downloads to get you started with the CRM Connector including the SDK download. You can find the GP Web Services SDK download here. Additionally, the Dynamics GP Web Services SDK page on MSDN contains the same reference information found in the download page and is available to those without accessing PartnerSource or CustomerSource and can be helpful for quick access.

I ran across an odd eConnect issue a while back that I thought I’d share today.

In a recent support case, I had the rare situation where Dexterity Triggers clashed. Dexterity allows third party developers to create triggers against various events and scripts in a Dexterity application (like Microsoft Dynamics GP).

Today, I responded on a post on the Partner Forum asking “Can the DEX_ROW_ID change for a record over time?“. In this case the partner had seen the values for DEX_ROW_ID change on the GL20000 (GL_YTD_TRX_OPEN) and GL30000 (GL_Account_TRX_HIST) tables. This caused problems for an integration to an external system that used the DEX_ROW_ID as a key field.
