#Dexterity Development Environments – Part 1: Installation
This article has been a long time coming and is the first of a series of articles on how I set up my machine for developing Dexterity applications across multiple versions.
I promised I would detail how my system is set up a while back at the reImagine 2015 conference and had never got around to writing the article until now.
Delete or Remove Range Errors on ‘SY_Current_Activity’ table after GP 2015 R2
Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 added lots of new features and enhancements and fixed a number of bugs too. However, it also introduced a change that is now causing errors in some ISV’s (Independent Software Vendor) products.
I first came across this issue when preparing to release GP Power Tools build 22 and was testing the Database Validation feature on my Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 install.
#GPPT GP Power Tools build 22 released
After months of work, I am extremely excited to announce that GP Power Tools for Microsoft Dynamics GP (GPPT) Build 22 is now available for download. Please update your systems to get all the new features.
GP Power Tools was previously known as Support Debugging Tool (SDT), which was discontinued in October 2014. If you are still using the previous product, please upgrade to the supported and much better GP Power Tools product.
The future of Microsoft Dynamics GP
Since forever, the pundits have been preaching the demise of Great Plains Dynamics / Microsoft Dynamics GP.
When I joined Microsoft in 2001, one of the things that influenced my decision was the thinking that Dexterity (the language behind Dynamics GP) was going to die and so I decided that I would be better off inside Microsoft than continue working as an ISV (Independent Software Vendor).
Now sixteen years later in 2017 and I am back working as an ISV, and Dexterity, along with Microsoft Dynamics GP, is still going strong… despite the launch of Dynamics 365.
Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 R2 New Features
At the end of last year, Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 R2 was released.
If you have not already installed/updated to this build, Microsoft has released lots of information about the new features in blogs, documentation and video forms.
Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 R2 has released
I had a nice surprise this morning. I received an email from Terry Heley from the Microsoft Dynamics GP Support team notifying me of the release of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 R2.
This should not have been much of a surprise as the release was promised to be at the start of December at the reIMAGINE 2016 conference. I think the surprise was that December is here already. Christmas is getting closer.

#GPPT Using Microsoft Dynamics GP with High DPI on High Resolution Monitors
In the last eight years, there have been an increasing number of display issues when using Microsoft Dynamics GP on high resolution monitors. There are a number of different factors coming into play which cause Dynamics GP to display incorrectly.
This article explains the issues, their causes and their solutions and finally explains how GP Power Tools makes the solutions extremely simple to implement.
[Edit] FYI: Build 29 of GP Power Tools automatically applies the fixes during installation. If installing on a Terminal Server, make sure to use Install Mode (see below) so that the settings are rolled out to all users.
#GPPT GP Power Tools build 21 released
I am pleased to announce that the next build of GP Power Tools for Microsoft Dynamics GP (GPPT) is now available for download.
GP Power Tools was previously known as Support Debugging Tool (SDT), which was discontinued in October 2014. If you are still using the previous product, please upgrade to the supported and much better GP Power Tools product.
