Recently a comment from David M (not me) was posted on the Support Debugging Tool Portal page asking:

“We have some fairly long names for our GP companies. Well, when logging onto GP, the second “Company Login” screen cuts off the company names too short for us.

Wow, the week is almost over and I am yet to post something.

This week I was working on a small development project using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to execute some commands at the SQL Server level after some user interface events. The code to be executed needed to have values from the windows passed through to the Transact-SQL.  Now most people just write the code and pass through the value of a string field concatenated before and after with single quotes.

sqlstring = "select * from IV00101 where ITEMNMBR = '" & CStr(ItemNumber) & "'"
