Welcome to a series of articles that explains in detail the steps to add a user defined custom field to a window using Modifier, Report Writer and GP Power Tools to add the business logic. The example project will only need six scripts and no external development tools will be required.
The aim of this series is to work through each of the parts of the process and explain with step by step instructions how it works and why various settings are used. The final article also includes a step by step video.
It would be possible to just show the final result, but I want this series to serve as a guide for creating similar customizations in your own system. That said I will provide the final customization files at the end of the series.
Hey Developers… Are you attending the GPUG Summit 2017 conference in Nashville, Tennessee in October? If so, this article is to let you know about Microsoft Dynamics GP related Developer content at the conference.
I asked why there was not much content for developers at GPUG Summit and I was told that there are not many developers in attendance. I disagreed and requested a session for Developers, which Bob McAdam promptly organised … thanks Bob. 🙂
This blog article has been prompted by the thread below on the Microsoft Dynamics GP community forum:
I had responded with some information on the thread, but when I tried to implement the suggestions I made, I found that it was not actually possible and that other methods would be needed.

Recently, I had a support case which asked the following: “When I go to Add the Sales Account Number to the Sales Line Items SmartList, there are three Sales Account Number Columns available. What is the difference between them?”

I was recently asked about a custom button that was added to a window and how to change the internet URL that the button opened when it was closed. I was not provided with any other information or screenshots.

It has been a long time since I shared a Quick Tip for Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), but I have had this one waiting for me to write up for a while.

My blog post today isn’t anything earth shattering but something a partner ran into that was unexpected. Logical – but unexpected nonetheless.

One of the most common customisations outside of North America is changing the Phone Number Format. The North American default format of (XXX) XXX-XXXX Ext. XXXX is not always suitable for other countries.

I recently responded on a forum post which asked why the paths for the custom forms and reports dictionaries in the Dynamics.set launch file where pointing to the Data folder. The post also asked why the application did not complain about the fact that the dictionaries listed in the Dynamics.set did not actually exist in the Data folder.
So, I thought it would be a good excuse to answer the questions raised as a blog post.

Have you ever used Modifier and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to add an additional field to a window? Have you then had the issue when navigating through records on that window, it keeps coming up and asking “Do you want to Save, Discard or Cancel?” or “Do you want to Save, Delete or Cancel?“.

Honestly, I struggled a bit on the title of this article.
Is this article to show one way to use a Dynamics GP lookup window in your Modifier/VBA customization? Or is it an article that shows a way to work around the circular reference problem that you can get yourself into when using VBA across projects in Dynamics GP?

Today, I had a support case that was asking about errors when importing a package via Customization Maintenance (Microsoft Dynamics GP >> Tools >> Customize >> Customization Maintenance). The partner was unable to find an explanation of the errors on the Internet and so I thought I would explain what the errors mean and provide some best practices to avoid these issues in the future.

Last week, I enumerated several questions that I’ve been asked and have seen posted to the public Dynamics GP newsgroups. These questions are typically of the “Why doesn’t Smartlist..?” variety.
In this post and a few planned future posts, I’ll look at each of these questions individually and give a few thoughts around them and maybe a few solutions as well.
