So you are writing your top notch, one-of-a-kind Visual Studio Tools for Microsoft Dynamics GP customization.
You’ve covered all the bases for any potential errors and just in case you miss any and an exception is thrown, you are catching the exception to write into an event log.

We ran into an odd issue recently that I’d like to share today.
An ISV reported that in their customer was getting an error when the ISV application attempted to execute a stored procedure.
[SQL Server] Could not find stored procedure DYNAMICS.dbo.SomeStoredProcedure
Easy you say – the proc doesn’t exist. Just create it and you’ll be fine.

An ISV had a goal of creating an audit table of the Dynamics record notes table – SY03900 – but was running into an issue.
He mentioned that he was using an “instead of update” SQL trigger and not just a normal “update” trigger. The specific issue was that while his audit table was being updated, the SY03900 table was not.
After discussing the goals of his application and the issue, I set out to discover why exactly the normal update trigger wouldn’t work, why the SY03900 table wasn’t being updated, and lastly what we could do about it.

It is somewhat coincidental that one of the system techs had a case Friday running into an error launching Dynamics GP 2010 and the release of Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 Service Pack 5. What do these events have to do with each other? Read on…

A few years ago, the question came up (partner, customer, Convergence – I don’t recall) about being able to identify the current company on the Dynamics Home Page of the Navigation pane.

A few weeks ago we ran into an interesting case regarding the new Word Report Templates in Dynamics GP 2010.

An ISV opened a support incident with me as one of his customers was running across an odd issue with his application. None of his existing customers with the same application were experiencing this issue.

Honestly, I struggled a bit on the title of this article.
Is this article to show one way to use a Dynamics GP lookup window in your Modifier/VBA customization? Or is it an article that shows a way to work around the circular reference problem that you can get yourself into when using VBA across projects in Dynamics GP?

This happened to me again the other day – and it took me a few minutes to resolve (and re-solve!) it again.
To me that sounds like blog material.

An issue came up recently that I thought I’d share with our readership.
The customer is using SQL insert database triggers on various Dynamics GP tables and running into an issue.

Several weeks ago, an ISV posted to the forums that he had thrown caution to the window and upgraded his Dexterity DSCCS 7.5 to DSCCS 2010. The install went OK for him (unlike my own install that I discussed in a previous post) but what he found was that he wasn’t able to check in resources with Dexterity using this version.

Breaking with my recent series on Smartlist and specifically the Smartlist: Exports slowly to Excel – Part 1 post, a comment and followup question to that post was:
This is great! But is there a similar switch for the Dynamics GP lists such as the “All Sales Transactions” or “Accounts” list?
Good question and honestly I did wonder about that myself. But it was outside my “all things Smartlist” topic so I figured I’d check it out later.
Now that it came up – today looks like “later” so I thought I’d dig into it.

This is the 4th post in a series of Smartlist posts in the last weeks. In these articles, I’ve given answers and solutions to common questions about Smartlist that are typically of the “Why doesn’t Smartlist..?” variety.
Last week, the question we were looking at was:

In the last few weeks (here and here), I’ve enumerated several questions that I’ve been asked and have seen posted to the public Dynamics GP newsgroups. These questions are typically of the “Why doesn’t Smartlist..?” variety.
In this post and a few planned future posts, I’ll look at each of these questions individually and give a few thoughts around them and maybe a few solutions as well.

Supporting Web Services and Workflow in Dynamics, my primary desktop machines have been Windows 2003 for a number of years. Of course Vista was out of the question because GP Web Services would only install on a server OS.
When Windows 2008 was released I had considered upgrading my OS but honestly didn’t want to go through formatting my machine and reinstalling everything again for the sake of having an updated operating system. Yes, I was being a bit lazy.

This week an ISV logged a support incident to determine why their Visual Studio Tools for Microsoft Dynamics GP (VSTools) form wouldn’t open. The customization worked fine on the developer’s machine (of course) but didn’t work when deploying it to the customer site.
