Hi there,

The first half of 2009 has been interesting! Certainly the business environment has changed dramatically and many of you are working harder with less people and more pressure.

Dynamics-GP can deliver dramatic benefits: increased productivity; reduced operating expenses; improved work flow; happier employees. This can help you respond to shifts in the economy and change strategies to address needs as they emerge.

Our June newsletter includes several articles which we hope you will find useful.

Please contact me if we can help you in any way to take full advantage of your Dynamics-GP system. 

Regards,
Hal

Tips and Tricks

SmartList is one of my favorite tools to lookup Dynamics-GP data, export to Excel and create Word mail merges. I like it for finding a record and going to an associated window by double clicking the record. This can be a drill down inquiry, a transaction processing window or maintenance windows for editing.

You can change the default window to better meet your needs. With the SmartList window open, click on Extras>SmartList>Options, select SmartList Category (Accounts, Customers, Vendors etc.), then select the default Go To window from the pull down list of available windows. While you are here you can mark the fields and the order they will be displayed when the default view is selected.

Email me if you need more help with SmartList.
