Today, I resolved a very interesting case. We had a customer who had just upgraded from an early build of Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 (11.0) and after the upgrade they were unable to save from the Customer Maintenance window.

A long time ago, in an ERP system far far away, data was stored in tables which in turn were stored as files in folders.
Yes, before Great Plains Dynamics became Great Plains Dynamics C/S+ for SQL (version 3.15/3.17), we had to specify pathnames to dictate where the Ctree or Btrieve files for each series (Financial, Sales, Purchasing, Company, System, etc.) and for each product / dictionary would be located. There was also a location translation system which allowed the paths to be mapped when a workstation required a different drive letter or machine name to access the data.

In a recent case of mine, the ISV was running into a common issue that I’ve run into before more than a few times. Actually something I’ve done a few times myself.
The ISV was attempting to use pass through sanScript to populate a SQL temp table.

This post is a public service announcement for those customers and partners using the free customization from Microsoft, Purchase Order Returns Modification (Product ID: 4159) for Microsoft Dynamics GP versions 9.0 and 10.0.
Note: The functionality of this customization has been incorporated into the core Dynamics.dic dictionary for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 and so is no longer required.

A few weeks ago, I had a very interesting case with a Middle East customer based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The customer had reported that when the modified Computer Check Report was printed from one particular work station, it was blank. The same modified report printed fine on other workstations.
We managed to resolve this issue after a couple of fairly long screen sharing sessions. I thought that you might find the process we went through and the final solution interesting.

While working on a case recently with a colleague we noticed that a user received a security privileges error for some windows which were part of Analytical Accounting.
We used the Support Debugging Tool’s Security Information window to have a look at what was happening and found that there were Security Tasks and Security Roles set up for Analytical Accounting, but due to some data issues they were not working properly.

I am wondering if Joseph Tews is a mind reader, or if he can somehow see my draft blog posts before they are published. Joking aside, it turns out that the same day he posted about Symantec Endpoint Protection, he also posted about this topic that I was planning to post about. Unless he has a super power, then I will have to believe that these issues are faced by enough people to warrant multiple blog posts.

I recently had a case where the customer was able to install the Microsoft Dynamics GP client on a machine, but when they clicked on the shortcut nothing happened. Even dragging the DYNAMICS.SET launch file onto the DYNAMICS.EXE application did nothing. In fact, any thing that involved getting the Dexterity Runtime Engine DYNAMICS.EXE to launch failed.

Yesterday, on Thursday 16th June, the Australian Business Register (ABR) updated their website which meant the link that Microsoft Dynamics GP has been using to lookup Australian Business Numbers (ABN) no longer works. This morning, I had two support cases on this issue raised within about 30 minutes of each other.
Update: The Australian Business Register (ABR) team have added a URL redirection to allow the old URL to work. Microsoft will be looking to change the way the search is performed to use Web Services in a future release.

Recently, we have been seeing some weird errors where previously working code fails to compile with an Unknown Identifier error referring to a constant in the core Dynamics.dic dictionary.
I came across this issue myself when preparing for the recent Technical Conference.
