24.01.2022 Dexterity is the native language of Microsoft Dynamics GP. It is an amazing development environment that is still the best and most powerful tool to integrate with the Dynamics GP User Interface. While Dexterity was originally developed in the late 1980s, it has been continuously developed and extended with more and more features and functionality which allow it to handle everything needed for modern business applications AND still be completely backwards compatible to its original release.

20.01.2022 This article is comes about thanks to my friend, Melissa Brown, who approached me for a solution to a reporting requirement she had for a customer due to new legislation brought in by the US state of Minnesota. The requirement was not possible to solve with the Dynamics Report Writer alone as it involved an array in a table which prevented a static relationship from working to retrieve the data needed.

15.01.2022 Using the method discussed in the article #GPPT Referencing Modifier Added Fields in the Web Client using .Net Execute it was possible able to get past some of the limitations mentioned in the article Dynamics.Application Object not available on Web Client. However, running the .Net (C# or VB.Net) code is slightly slower than running the Dexterity (sanScript) code. This article explains a method of how to improve Desktop Client performance while staying compatible with the Web Client.

14.01.2022 As my email inbox is getting filled with COVID-19 related updates from almost every company I have dealt with in the past, I thought I would not perpetuate the situation with another email.

11.01.2022 Following on from the previous articles: #GPPT Speeding Up Referencing Modifier Added Fields and staying Web Client compatible and #GPPT Referencing Modifier Added Fields in the Web Client using .Net Execute, this article looks how we can use VB.Net rather than C# as the scripting language in the .Net Execute scripts. Both VB.Net and C# use the .Net Common Language Runtime (CLR) and it is usually possible to write exactly the same code in either language.

10.01.2022 Here is something a little different for you. I have two external drives connected to my Microsoft Surface Book 2 15" computer.

08.01.2022 You probably saw the recent article: Dynamics.Application Object not available on Web Client where I described an issue that was recently discovered and meant that the "Continuum" based triggers and scripts used to reference Modifier Added Fields in GP Power Tools - Developer Tools module were unable to work in the Web Client. I mentioned a workaround that would function with the current [ 2,050 more words ] https://winthropdc.wordpress.com//gppt-referencing-modifi/

08.01.2022 The previous article: #GPPT Parsing Returned SQL Data into Rows and Columns had some examples of how to convert string representations of various datatypes back to their native datatypes. With GP Power Tools, it is a common technique to store additional data in the DUOS (Dynamic User Object Store) table (SY90000). However, the DUOS uses a 132 character string field to store the data and do datatype conversions in both directions will be needed.

08.01.2022 This article comes about because we have identified a feature of GP Power Tools that does not work as expected on the Web Client. GP Power Tools has the ability to run scripts and register triggers against Modifier added fields. This feature uses the Dynamics.Application object and in particular a suite of functionality historically known as "Continuum". We can now confirm that the Dynamics.Application object is not available at all when running Microsoft Dynamics GP in the Web Client and so any functionality reliant on this object will fail to work.

06.01.2022 I am writing this article after a good friend, who is a Microsoft Dynamics GP administrator, was having some unexplained issues in his test environment. The issue was originally identified because GP Power Tools' Product Version Validation feature started reporting a dictionary version mismatch for a couple of Dexterity customization dictionaries. What made it really weird was that it only happened for the test windows' user and and not for his administrator user account.... https://winthropdc.wordpress.com//dont-use-administrative/
