#GPPT GP Power Tools Build 28.7 hotfix released

David Meego - Click for blog homepageOver the last few months I have been really busy with some non work issues (such as preparing to sell my house), but have also been making some really awesome enhancements and fixes to the Administrator Tools, Developer Tools and Database Tools modules of GP Power Tools and this hotfix makes them all available to the community.

It is highly recommended that all sites running GP Power Tools install the latest code on all workstation and servers where Microsoft Dynamics GP is installed.

Build 28.7 (Hotfix 6) of GP Power Tools is available for the following Microsoft Dynamics GP versions:

  • Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 and GP 2016 R2 (v16.0)
