IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Support Debugging Tool is now GP Power Tools from Winthrop Development Consultants (https://winthropdc.com/GPPT)

In the past, I have had some cases where users have reported that the Microsoft Dynamics GP application default printer as set by Named Printers keeps getting changed back to the Windows Default printer. The cause of this issue was never really identified…. until now. A current case with a similar issue finally helped explain what was happening.

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.

Yesterday, I handled a support case that asked about using the Dexterity Script Debugger at runtime and whether there was any performance issues having the Debug menu enabled when it was not being used to perform any logging.
What we are talking about is adding the ScriptDebugger=TRUE setting into the Dex.ini to enable the Script Debugger at runtime mode as described in the Knowledge Base (KB) article below:

I am currently working on a support case where the customer is making use of the six user defined categories for items. That in itself is nothing remarkable or worth blogging about. However, they are using Long Description field on the Item Category Setup window and wished to include the data from this field onto reports. That’s the difficult bit.

Today, I thought I would spend a little time explain how to read a Dexterity Script Profile to resolve a performance issue. To demonstrate this I will use a support case I had where the customer was intermittent long delays when clicking on the checkbox on the Apply Sales Document window.

I have just returned from Microsoft Dynamics Conference 2011 Atlanta conference, and based on the feedback during the sessions that Mariano and I presented as well as comments from the session evaluations, I thought it would be worth discussing some of the common Support Debugging Tool (SDT) myths.

If you attended the Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Conference 2009 in Fargo, North Dakota or Microsoft Dynamics Convergence Atlanta 2010, in Atlanta, Georgia you might have seen a demonstration by Mariano and myself of the Support Debugging Tool for Microsoft Dynamics GP.

In the Support Debugging Tool for Microsoft Dynamics GP there is an option which is a little misunderstood. So the aim of this post is to explain what the setting does and when it should be used.

It has been a while since we had a new build of the Support Debugging Tool for Microsoft Dynamics GP. So we have decided to release Build 14. This is primarily a maintenance release with bug fixes, minor enhancements and a couple of new features. This build can be installed over the top of any existing installed build without needing to remove the old build first.

[Edit] 05-Apr-2023: Updated code available from the article below:
Back on the 1st July 2000, Australia changed its sales tax system from a wholesale sales tax with various rates (depending on the item) to a Goods and Services Tax (GST) with a fixed 10% rate.
To go with the change in the tax system, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) also brought in a new tax return reporting system known as the Business Activity Statement.

I was planning to write about a different topic, but that will have to wait until next week now. The reason is that the all powerful Mark Polino has declared this week to be a Support Debugging Tool week.

My friend, Mariano Gomez aka The Dynamics GP Blogster has a couple of recent posts I would highlight.

Added to the Microsoft Dynamics GP Application Level Security Series.
I am still surprised how many times questions appear on the newsgroups and forums asking about which Security Tasks and Security Roles are needed to access a particular window. It has been a while since I posted anything about the Support Debugging Tool, and this seems like a perfect opportunity to show how simple it is to use the Support Debugging Tool to find this information.

The technique I will discuss in this post is not specific for Microsoft Dynamics GP, but as this is a Microsoft Dynamics GP related blog, I will put a GP “spin” on it.
Since the user interface change from MDI (Multiple Document Interface) to SDI (Single Document Interface) for version 10.0 of GP (see Version 10.0 and its individual windows), we now have a situation that can occur when a window can open outside of the visible area of your windows desktop.

Today, I have something special. Also, something that I had not planned to do…
Over the years since Mark Rockwell and I published the Pushing the Limits with Dexterity, I have been asked a number of times about accessing dictionary resources such as tables and fields. This is information that is not stored anywhere in SQL tables and can only be accessed using Dexterity sanScript code to “read” the resources definitions.

Time and time again I have heard consultants say that the solution to stopping Microsoft Dynamics GP remembering the last user on a Terminal Server or Citrix installation is to make the Dex.ini file read-only. There was even a Knowledge Base (KB) article that suggested clearing the SQLLastUser setting from the Dex.ini file and then marking the file as read-only. Well, in my opinion this method has always been evil and from Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 onwards will not work anyhow.

As mentioned in my previous post, we needed a new build of the Support Debugging Tool for Microsoft Dynamics GP to work properly with the released build of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010.

With the availability of the Released To Manufacturing (RTM) build of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010, an issue has been discovered with the version check code in the Support Debugging Tool build 12.
