This one is for all who work on Remote Desktop (RDP) Connections on a daily basis.

Steve Endow of DynamicsGPLand has come up with this nice article which explains how RDP Window Properties, such as Width Height etc., can be modified to get a customized layout whenever we work on RDP Connections.

Read it here: Customizing RDP window size and position.

This one is the first article on IM.ini, I believe.

Mariano has given us some great information on IM.ini settings and it has to be read by all those who are intended to use IM for integrations. Somewhere down the lane we would certainly be using any of these tips.

This one is pretty simple and good article from Gloria of ComputerationDynamics.

The article just shares the importance of keeping our SQL Server & Dynamics Application regularly maintained by applying all necessary SPs, Hot Fixes, etc.

Read this article on her blog: Keeping Costs Down – Why Service Packs, Upgrades, and Maintenance Pay for Themselves.

Back to Basics, David explains at his best to teach us the Cross Dictionary Dexterity Development. From Original Form to Modified Form to Alternate Form, he explains things in a way that once we are thru’ with this article, we won’t be asking this again anytime in future.

This demo link from Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP, gives us a nice sneak peek at couple of the upcoming GP 2010 features. Not completely though.

One feature which I really liked is the Word Forms & Email. Tremendous amount of collaboration between the GP and Office technologies. I am sure we all would love this when it is released.

Take a look at this and I bet you would agree with me.

Frank has got a very good and informative post on the Ubiquitous GP Note Field.

There are couple of warnings (rather word of caution) given out. One critical point is: Notes can be modified or deleted by any user who has access to the Transaction Window or Inquiry Window where the Note resides. Why would GP allow a Note residing in an Inquiry Window, that means a Posted Transaction, to be modified? Is there any necessity or logic behind this?

I think so. For instance, on a Posted Transaction I may probably want to register my reasons on the date at which the transaction was posted, in case I post it on a date which is not suppose to be the expected. I may also probably want to register my reasons on this specific transaction which was posted individually by taking it out from a batch.

If I have customized my Inquiry Reports by having the Notes included, this would make even more sense to have the latest Notes on my report.

That said, we should be more careful in using Notes and it’s more like use it at our own risk. We may probably delete it by mistake or we may find the Notes being modified from it’s original content by someone who has got access to it.

I am eagerly waiting for Frank’s second post on this topic.

Mark Polino & his DynamicsAccounting.Net has been the source for many GP and related information. And no wonder his blog celebrates 4th Anniversary and has successfully started it’s 5th year.

My sincere wishes to Mark Polino & DynamicsAccounting.Net. I am sure they are gonna enlighten us with many more articles in future.

This post was from Jivtesh regarding the compatibility of GP 10.0 & Tools with Windows 7.0.

I got curious and tried it on my laptop. This is the result:

Thanks Jivtesh for the timely reminder.

Looks like we are yet to get the Dexterity SP4 Update. I was going thru’ the version details of Dynamics GP 10.0 Features and for Dexterity the latest version Post SP4 is 10.00.0324.

But after I applied the SP4 on my environment, I am still having Dex 10.00.0320 (Pre SP4). I remember I read this information from a LinkedIn GP Forum and I thought I would first check this out before I confirm.

For those who are looking for Dex SP4 Update, please wait till we see it available on PartnerSource.
