I am happy to share this exciting news! A free and open forum for Dynamics GP has been added to https://dynamicsuser.net/
Dynamics User Group (DUG) has been around for over 20 years as a free forum, mostly for AX and NAV. So it’s not new, but they JUST added a Dynamics GP leg to the user group. And why not… I mean, if you know GP’s history, a forum nicknamed DUG… SHOULD have Dynamics GP and this is VERY APPROPRIATE 🙂
I’ll be helping add color and context there as well as other forums, so check it out, post your questions, see what happens!
Community is and should always be free…
Dynamics User Group is the host of an upcoming FREE Dynamics Conference (Virtual/Online).
I am excited to be presenting about GP as well as being part of the keynote for this event! The event is March 16h – March 18th – and yup, it’s Free to register, free to participate and not only SOME of it is free.. it’s all free – easy enough?
Thanks for reading!

Microsoft Dynamics GP has been updated to include several new features. The latest update was released in early October 2019 and I am VERY excited to say that the new features do NOT disappoint!
Included with this roll out, were several awesome and important workflow enhancements.
Below is an updated chart of workflow functionality by version/release as well as a quick peak at the latest and greatest changes for workflow!

I use Excel… a LOT, and for a very long time! With that comes the inevitable… my eyes aren’t as young as they used to be… plus, we tend to have a TON of data in our Excel file, sometimes making it harder to know which data is on the row that I am looking at.
I know, you can use themes, or highlight the row manually, but I want something dynamic. I want to highlight the active row (the row where my cursor is)… and I am greedy, I want it to change every time I change rows.
I personally think this should be a feature built into Excel, but I cannot find it anywhere – if you know of a different way, please post a comment below.
I’ve put together a few steps to automatically highlight my active row. Read on to see these steps and maybe put it to use for you!
The video below may take a moment to load – give it just a minute please – for some reason, wordpress doesn’t play well with ‘Gifs’. Comment below and let me know if you like this tip!
One of my sessions, sponsored by the GP User Group, will be an interactive panel discussion about Business Central. What is it, what does it mean to GP customers, and much more! Windi Epperson, Rod O’Connor, Tanya Henderson and myself make up this panel so come join us for some open and honest discussions!
