[description], Story, any other text you want to use. Upgrading Great Plains Dexterity Customization – switching to new technologies: SQL, Crystal, eConnect by: Andrew Karasev
This article is for intermediate Great Plains Dexterity developer. It describes the directions to phase out Dexterity functionality and replace it with newer technologies. Microsoft Great Plains and its current programming language Dexterity should still be considered seriously by developers community. However Microsoft Business Solutions announced switching to new technologies, mostly .Net, where all the MBS applications will be arranged into suites (Microsoft Financials, Microsoft Distributions, Microsoft Manufacturing, Microsoft Human Resources) and integrated into so called Microsoft Business Portal. Looking into the future we recommend you to analyze Microsoft Great Plains Dexterity customization for replacement it's portions with Microsoft SQL Server stored procs, Crystal Reports, direct C#/VB.Net web publishing, eConnect 1. Replace Dexterity cursor with SQL Stored Procedure Dexterity was designed as multiplatform technology (primarily Btrieve, Ctree, SQL Server, potentially Oracle). Dexterity data retrieving mechanism is based on Range start, Range End, Get First and Get Next clauses. It is in fact similar, however a little bit slower to cursors in Transact SQL. Long ranges in Dexterity are good candidates for replacement by SQL stored procedures with update clause. For example, consider to replace following Dexterity code: Range clear SOP_HDR_WORK.
Range start table SOP_HDR_WORK.
With the following SQL code Update SOP10100 set SLPRSNID="BILL" where SLPRSNID="ERIC" Bringing new data into a table in Dexterity is based on change/edit table clauses, in SQL they are equivalent (by performance) to inserting one record at the time. When having long cycle of change/edit table in Dexterity, consider replacement by SQL stored procedure with Insert Into clause. 2. Use Crystal Reports, call them from via VBA in Modified form The easy way to call Crystal Report from your VBA code from your modified form: Const RPT = "D:ClientsTheClientInvoice Status.rpt" Public crwApplication As CRPEAuto.Application
Private Sub Print_BeforeUserChanged(KeepFocus As Boolean, CancelLogic As Boolean)
If crwApplication Is Nothing Then
Set crwReport = crwApplication.OpenReport(RPT)
crwReport.Preview End If 3. Use Direct .Net Web Publishing from Great Plains Database The easiest and safest way is to use eConnect - SDK with VB samples, created for eCommerce programmers and web designers to call the functionality in Microsoft Great Plains. If your company can not afford eConnect - create your own set of stored procedures to address Great Plains database and go ahead with Visual Studio.Net to do the web publishing.

live audio
What determines which live audio sites attract advertisers? Sites whose audience demographics match those of the advertiser's customer base. For instance, companies who sell live audio to businesses, want to pitch their message to executives who making decisions in that area. To put it bluntly, the live audio advertiser wants to get their message to you, the consumer. That's why they use appropriate and appeal banners and links like those shown below. Once again, the live audio demographics of the Web are a key factor in determining whether this strategy works. It's vital to understand who uses the Internet and who visits the live audio sites. Although computer technology makes it possible to gather some very specific data about site visitors, some demographic information is best gathered by asking you for your feedback. That's why many websites require you to register. They're trying to figure out who you are and what your particular interest in live audio might be. Real Time Media On The Net Index
