Over the years that I have worked with Microsoft Dynamics GP, there are been a few occasions where we have had issues with so called “illegal” characters.

There is an issue with the Shift+F11 keyboard shortcut which is used by Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to Add Fields to Visual Basic. I was asked about it again recently and so decided to post the details on the blog.

Another recent request was to provide a method to prevent backdated transactions from being entered into Microsoft Dynamics GP. This means that we needed to validate the document date of a transaction as it as entered and again when it is saved. This is a perfect opportunity to demonstrate how Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) can add custom business rules to the application.

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) can use the Dynamics User Object Store (DUOS) table to store additional data such as user defined fields.
The SY_User_Object_Store (SY90000) DUOS table uses a single row for each field stored, It stores the data in a string field 132 characters long.

The final topic in the series is one that was added later after I was asked about how to handle translated applications when writing customizations.

The great postings around the blogsphere just keep coming. I am not complaining as the body of knowledge they provide to community is growing all the time.
