David Meego - Click for blog homepageYesterday marked the 20th Anniversary of the creation of the MBS Support Debugging Tool. This was the original name of the Dexterity based Tool originally created by David Musgrave while he was an Escalation Engineer on the Asia Pacific customer services and support team for Microsoft Dynamics GP.

The tool was released publicly to partners two years later on 03-Sep-2008 as the Support Debugging Tool (dropping the MBS prefix). With the help of Pam Mishialek, David secured the rights to the software, and it was renamed and re-released on 07-Jul-2015 as GP Power Tools.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageWinthrop Development Consultants is absolutely thrilled to announce that Build 33 of GP Power Tools (GPPT) for Microsoft Dynamics GP was released yesterday, on 01-May-2026.

This fantastic build includes not one, but two major new features that solve some highly demanded, long awaited functionality requests for Microsoft Dynamics GP. The build also includes many enhancements and improvements to existing functionality across the entire product.

This article provides details on the major new features and enhancements. It doesn’t list everything, but to give you an idea of how much has been added, the user guide manual has grown from 833 pages in build 31 to 882 pages in build 32 to 919 pages in build 33.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageWinthrop 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.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageVisual Studio Integration Toolkit provides Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to Visual Studio Tools for Microsoft Dynamics GP developers adding functionality that is normally only available to Dexterity developers.

For almost 20 years the application menus feature has been available at no charge as Menus for Visual Studio Tools from Microsoft and later Visual Studio Integration Toolkit from Winthrop Development Consultants. This was David Musgrave’s gift to the Microsoft Dynamics GP community. Sadly, as the cost of maintaining and supporting the product increases, it has become necessary to charge a small fee for subscriptions starting in 2027.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageAs 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.
