#MSDynGP Dexterity Login Dialog showing on Application Startup

This is an issue that I found back in April 2019 and reported to Microsoft. I added it to my list of articles to write up where it sat until today. Now that I have seen it happen “in the wild” and not just on my test system, I thought I better spend some time to get it documented.

The error occurs when launching Microsoft Dynamics GP and can happen on any version since about v8.0. When you launch GP it displays the Dexterity Login Dialog and if you don’t log in, it will generate a couple of error dialogs.

#GPPT New GP Power Tools Full Demonstration Video

It has been two years since a new GP Power Tools full demonstration has been recorded to video. Today, I have uploaded a new one hour GP Power Tools demonstration based on the Build 27 release, along with an extra 8 minute video with additional Developer Tools module examples.

Thanks to the team at InterDyn Artis, especially Margaret Bolding who asked for a GP Power Tools demo for their team and Paul Haag who organised the recording.

#MSDynGP Microsoft Dynamics GP – October 2019 release coming soon

Guess what? … there will be no Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 R3, Microsoft Dynamics GP 2019 or Microsoft Dynamics GP 2020. Why? Because in early October 2019, we will have Microsoft Dynamics GP instead.

That’s correct, the year will no longer part of the version name for Dynamics GP. In fact version 18 will be the last version of Dynamics GP (in the same way that Windows 10 is the last version of Windows).

#GPUG Partners: Ignore User Groups at your own peril

After attending the User Group Summit Australia conference in Melbourne in August 2019, I feel compelled to write another opinion article.

The conference was fantastic with over 600 attendees for the inaugural event with lots of great local and international presenters as well as many exhibitors and sponsors.

But the number of Microsoft Dynamics GP customer sites represented was extremely low and quite disappointing. After investing time and money to attend and exhibit at a conference, it feels like a missed opportunity when the target audience is barely represented.
