M icrosoft Great Plains version 10.0 is released and at this time, August 2007,upgrade activity is picking up. You can upgrade directly from version 9.0 sp2 or8.0 sp5. If you have older version of Dynamics GP you should decide on upgradestrategy, for you upgrade will be two or even more steps, where first you shouldupgrade to 9.0 sp2.

Microsoft Dexterity. No questions, that GP interface changed dramatically,however its architecture has the same skeleton former Great Plains Dexterity:DYNAMICS.DIC, Dynamics.set, Dex.ini, DEX_ROW_ID, these are Dex components4. Layouts. Now you can customize your toolbar and change your own interface, whichis similar to Microsoft Office family of products. We expect that sometimes your GPconsultant will not be able to answer your specific interface question, if you haveexperimented too much with GP interface, however you should trust your intuition. Also good point is that GP 10 interface seems to be Vista-similar
