Last week, I had an interesting case where a Dexterity Developer was having trouble getting some code to update a range of records selected in a table. The code would only update the first record in the range.

Today, I came across an issue where a feature in Microsoft Dynamics GP would work when the workstation had its regional settings set to United States, but would fail to produce any data when the workstation had its regional setting set to Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, etc.

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.

Let’s jump right in. We debug our Visual Studio applications over and over; and attaching to the test environment is among the most important, and time-consuming skills we use. (How many times have I launched GP2010 when I was thinking of GP2013?)
Of course we all simplify our testing by building the dll and pdb files directly in the DynamicsAddins folder (right?). If not, start doing that.
Were that the only thing to learn here, that knowledge alone would be worth the price of admission. But it’s a fairly obvious step, and many of us already send the built dll file to the folder.

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.

This Quick Tip comes to you after I faced this issue in a recent customisation project. I had seen this issue before and knew the approach required to solve it, but I don’t think it has been documented publicly till now.

My good friend, Mariano Gomez (The Dynamics GP Blogster) raised this issue recently. He wanted to use the method I discussed in my previous Quick Tip post: Quick Tip: Accessing Third Party Table Buffers using anonymous tables to gain access to the third party table so he could display it in a Scrolling Window on his form.

I have been spending a lot of time recently working on consulting engagement in Malaysia. This project involves a large amount of custom Dexterity code, some of which involves accessing tables in other third party product’s dictionaries.

For many years Dexterity developers have wanted to be able to add a splitter control to windows with “panes” created with lists, treeviews or listviews.
Using the window Object property Resizeable set to True-Per Field, developers have created windows which can be resized but the join between the panes has been fixed as either Stay Left, Stay Centered, or Stay Right.

One great thing about doing the job I do as an Escalation Engineer on the Asia Pacific Microsoft Dynamics GP support team is I have no end of support cases from which to draw ideas for blog posts from.
So here a Dexterity case I helped with recently.

In the last couple of weeks, I have had a few cases where Dexterity command based menus for addon products no longer showed in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 after Service Pack 3 was installed.

I had a case today that raised an issue that I have seen before which has a simple solution.

I recently responded to a community post which was asking how to ensure that all save events from the Item Maintenance window were captured using Visual Studio Tools. The aim was to make sure that the additional fields added to the window with Modifier were saved when the item data in the window was saved.

I recently posted the Quick Tip: Copying small amounts of data in SQL Server quickly. This quick tip used the clipboard to copy data between tables as an alternative to using DTS (Data Transformation Services), SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services) or Transact-SQL (T-SQL).

Last week, I was working on a Microsoft Dynamics GP update case where we had to re-upgrade one company from the previous service pack to the current service pack.

In a recent support case, I had the rare situation where Dexterity Triggers clashed. Dexterity allows third party developers to create triggers against various events and scripts in a Dexterity application (like Microsoft Dynamics GP).

I have completed the development project I was working last week and have another Quick Tip that came out of the project. For the previous Quick Tips related to this project have a look at Quick Tip: Passing Variables to SQL Server and Quick Tip: Passing Date and Time Variables to SQL Server.
This is a reposting of an article I originally wrote on my Developing for Dynamics GP blog.
As a follow on from yesterday’s post, Quick Tip: Passing Variables to SQL Server, I wanted to discuss the related topic about passing of date and time variables.

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) & "'"

This Quick Tip comes to you courtesy of an idea from my friend, Robert Cavill.
On a Microsoft Dynamics GP system where Activity Tracking is being used, it needs to be activated for each User ID/Company ID that you want it enabled for. In most cases, you would want the Activity Tracking enabled for all valid User ID and Company ID combinations.
