User Password not recognized by Dynamics GP
We ran into an issue recently with multiple servers where a newly created user could not log into Dynamics GP on an RDP server and received the error user password not recognized by Dynamics GP. The Dynamics GP credentials worked fine on some Windows sessions, and not on others. Even when the password was blanked out in SQL using Management Studio, the user could set a password, but when attempting to log in, the user login was denied. One of the things that we found was that the Dynamics GP ODBC connection was being used as an Excel workbook data [...]
eConnect Integration Service Will Not Start
The installation of eConnect seems to complete correctly but eConnect Integration Service Will Not Start . To fix this, I checked the error logs and found this in the Administrative Events: Action: Service Startup and Construction of Service Host Current User Name: Input parameters: Exception type: System.ServiceModel.AddressAccessDeniedException Exception message: HTTP could not register URL http://+:80/Microsoft/Dynamics/GP/eConnect/mex/. Your process does not have access rights to this namespace (see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70353 for details). A quick web search found Adam Liposky’s GPUG blog entry, https://www.gpug.com/blogs/adam-liposky/2014/04/28/econnect-service-starts-and-then-stops. He had three steps, only one of which is necessary. The other two are unwise (sorry Adam). Step 3: “I opened [...]
Not Your Daddy’s Financials Webinar Series
Join Microsoft MVP Belinda Allen as she presents alternatives to the traditional cash flow and financial statements using Microsoft Power BI and GP data in this two part Better Financials Webinar Series. Not your Daddy’s Cash Flow Statement One of the first things we all learn in Business 101 is that Cash is needed to operate a business.

Missing Quick Links After a Dynamics GP Upgrade
A Dynamics GP customer reported users missing quick links after a Dynamics GP Upgrade on the home page. They tried to re-create them, but when they logged out and back in they were gone again. The SQL script below can be ran to allow them to recreate their home page. -- change sa to the user ID with the home page problem declare @user char(15) set @user = 'sa' CREATE TABLE HomePage ( USERID char(15), SectionID smallint, DICTID smallint, COLNUMBR smallint, SEQNUMBR int, Visible tinyint, MetricSequence int, Selected tinyint, Mode smallint) INSERT INTO HomePage Values (@user, 1, 0, 1, [...]
Removing the Intelligent Cloud from the Dynamics GP Home Page
Last week, I published a blog questioning the value and veracity of Microsoft’s Intelligent Cloud Insights feature for Dynamics GP. I made the case that if you run GP, you already have the Intelligent Cloud (even if you are running GP On Prem) and don’t need to pay $20-$70 per user per month to ‘get’ it. But because Microsoft has embedded their Intelligent Cloud Insights sign up page on the Home Page in Dynamics GP, it would be really easy for one of your users to accidentally sign your company up for an annual subscription to another ERP system that [...]
