DynamicAccounting.net has moved to DynamicAccounting.net

Okay not actually as confusing as the title suggests but Mark Polino has migrated hs blog from Blogspot to Wordpress and now has the address www.DynamicsAccounting.net pointing to the blog so update your bookmarks and go to the new site for his regular updates on happenings in the Dynamics GP community.

Mark has kept a theme very similar to the one on the Blogspot version so you should be able to adapt to the new site and keep up to date without any problems.

It also marks another GP blog using Wordpress along with Victoria Yudin, Ian Stewart, Vaidy Mohan, Sivakumar Venkataraman and I.

Sunday 24th Mar 2013 Ian Grieve2 minute read2 Comments

After slacking off a lot in terms of reviewing Leslie Vail’s book Developing Microsoft Dynamics GP Business Applications, which was published at the end of December by Packt Publishing, I’m going to try to get a regular tempo of review posts going. Today I’m here with the review for chapter 4;

Developing Microsoft Dynamics GP Business Applications by Leslie Vail

This chapter is all about Building the User Interface which Leslie does by getting the reader to build an interface for customer contacts integration and covers:

Creating base resources
Creating tables and keys
Creating forms and windows
Creating scrolling windows
Working with window fields
Completing your windows

So from this chapter I expect to get a good grounding in creating an entirely new window which should look like this:

How To Install Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client: Installing the Web Client

Wednesday 20th Mar 2013 Ian Grieve1 minute read1 Comment

In this series of posts, I’m taking a look at the steps needed to install the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client. In the previous posts I took a look at installing the Web Client Runtime, adding the IIS Role and a self-signed certificate created. With those steps completed, we can now install the Web Client itself.

This is done from the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 setup utility by selecting Web Client under the Additional Products section;

How To Install Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client: Create A Self-Signed Certificate

Monday 18th Mar 2013 Ian Grieve1 minute read0 comment

Earlier in this series of posts, I took a look at installing the Web Client Runtime and adding the IIS server role. In this post I’ll take a look at installing a self-signed certificate (self-signed is really only a valid option for a demo or test system; on a live system you should really use a real certificate.

To create a self-signed one, open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager and click on Server Certificates;

Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager - Server Home

How To Install Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client: Adding The IIS Role

Thursday 14th Mar 2013Thursday 14th Mar 2013 Ian Grieve1 minute read2 Comments

In this series of posts, I’m taking a look at installing the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client as a single machine deployment. To be able to install the Web Client, we need to have ISS installed. The server I am installing this on is a Windows Server 2012 so this is done via the Server Manager.

To add the ISS Role, click on Add Roles and Features;

How To Install Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client: Installing the Web Client Runtime

Tuesday 12th Mar 2013 Ian Grieve2 minute read6 Comments

I’ve been working my way through a number of different products which ship alongside Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013, such as Business Analyzer and Integration Manager, and thought I’d also cover one of the additional products which is brand new: the Web Client.

In this series of posts, I’m going to take a look at a Single Machine deployment (I will look at a Multi-Machine deployment another time). The first step in the deployment of the Web Client is to install the Web Client Runtime on a machine which already has Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 desktop client installed.

This can be done either via Programs and Features in the Control Panel or, as I am doing in this example, via the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 setup utility. In the setup utility, select Microsoft Dynamics GP;
