Weekly Dynamic: Module Homepages in Dynamics GP 10 http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/2009/04/weekly-dynamic-module-homepages-in.html
While doing the 50 Tips presentation at Convergence, my co-presenter, Pam Misialek, repeatedly pointed me away from the drop down menus and to the home page for navigation. With the emphasis being placed on this from Microsoft, I'm working on changing the way I work so that I can better help you.
There's a lot of subtle benefits to the homepage and lists plus there may even be a drawback or two. Consequently I thought that I would spend a couple of Weekly Dynamics taking you through…

Restricting Access to Metrics on Microsoft Dynamics GP 10 Homepage http://dynamicsgpblogster.blogspot.com/2008/07/restricting-access-to-metrics-on.html
When it comes to securing metrics on GP 10's homepage, very little can be found outside of KB articles 918313 and 914898. But a few of us have decided to put this issue to rest -- I say a few of us because this 'how to' guide could not be possible without the assistance of FlieHigh and Tim Foster of Trudell Medical Limited in London, Ontario, Canada, both regular contributors in the Microsoft Dynamics GP community -- by combining our different approaches on the subject. Lets get started! There are two approaches to lock down the metrics for a particular user in GP.Method 1: T-SQL with SQL Security1) Open Query Analyzer (SQL 2000) or SQL Server Management Studio (SQL 2005). Execute the following statement against the DYNAMICS database.UPDATE SY08100 set Visible = 0 where (DictID = 0) and (SectionID = 3) and (UserID = 'userid')The following is a list of Section ID values:1 -- To Do's 2 -- Outlook3 -- Metrics4 -- My Reports5 -- Quick Links2) Open Enterprise Manager (SQL… Posted by Mariano Gomez

Organize Your QuickLinks Section http://dynamicsconfessions.blogspot.com/2010/05/organize-your-quicklinks-section.html
Thanks to Landon Russell I learned a tip today that I think will ‘tame’ the QuickLinks content pane on our GP 10 (and 2010) Home Pages.
Landon’s Quick Links section contained dividers much like this:

I thought it was fabulous to have dividers and asked him how he did it. He explained how he created those dividers and I thought it was…

How to startup GP with a default navigation page rather than the home page http://dynamicsgpblogster.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-to-startup-gp-with-default.html
So you want to be able to startup GP with a navigation bar option instead of the typical home page? This request was
posted today by Mary Fetsch on the Microsoft Dynamics GP community public newsgroup.
After playing around with the navigation bar for a while and some head scratching, the light bulb went off... use a macro! One peculiarity about the navigation bar is, while click actions are off limits to the macro system -- the navigation bar is part of the .NET managed code application wrapper -- each option can be accessed with a combination of the Control key on the keyboard and a numeric sequence associated to the option. As such, Home can be accessed with the CTRL+1 keyboard combination; Financial, with the CTRL+2 combination, and so on.

Internet Explorer scripting errors on Microsoft Dynamics GP Home Page http://dynamicsgpblogster.blogspot.com/2009/02/internet-explorer-scripting-errors-on.html
Microsoft Dynamics GP home page is a relatively new and fascinating feature. While users are becoming more and more familiar with its use, it is still puzzling when errors show up inadvertly. The following error was reported by a user of Dynamics GP a few days ago:

Changing Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 Home Page Background Color http://dynamicsgpblogster.blogspot.com/2008/06/changing-microsoft-dynamics-gp-100-home.html

Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 Home Page is one of those application elements users and developers tend to be extremely intrigued about. It provides the ability to view To Do's, pending Outlook email messages, incorporate Metrics, add shortcuts to Reports and ability to incorporate custom links, but how come the user is not able to define certain preferences like colors and other…

Gross Profit Metrics - Daoud's Article & Important Additional Note http://www.vaidy-dyngp.com/2010/08/gross-profit-metrics-daouds-article.html
I just started working on implementing certain key graphs for the Management Team. The first and foremost tryst was GP10 Home Page Metrics and if it does not cater for our requirements, I thought I would look out for external tools and developments.
First and foremost Metric that I tried was Gross Profit for the Past 12 Months. This was always showing ZERO Sales, but proper COGS for each period. We have already crossed 3 Fiscal Periods and I was quite confident that something is wrong with the…
