Alba Spectrum Group specializes in Great Plains customization, modification,reporting, integration, data conversion, GP version upgrade. For MicrosoftDexterity upgrade, GP customer should have source code: DYNAMICS.DIC dictionary filewith dex source code sanscript not stripped out. Microsoft Dynamics GPcustomizations upgrade should be reviewed by GP professional technical consultantprior to making any decision to avoid business risks. In this small article wewould like to give you some GP customization and reporting highlights: Crystal Reports vs. MS SQL Server Reporting Services. In our opinion both toolsare good, however you should make a choice. If your internal IT support feelscomfortable supporting your SQL server and web interfaces, for example if you hostinternally Microsoft Great Plains Business Portal, then you may decide to take SRSroute. On the other hand if you donÂ't have strong internal MS IT support, you maydecide to keep Crystal Reports. Again, sometimes customers are mislead in whichreporting tools to use  you should know that if you need complex report for GP  more likely report engine job will be done outside of Crystal or SRS  it will bedone in SQL in the form of SQL view or even (more powerful) stored procedure (whereyou can have temporary tables to help you with data set building). When you aredone with report engine  both tools will do excellent job in listing, grouping andsummarizing report lines Dex customizations. A lot of existing GP customers have them and they need to besupported, revised, upgraded and even expanded. Here you should be aware thatDexterity went through 15 years of evolution: initially it was supportingCtreeFaircom, Btrieve (later on Pervasive SQL). Currently GP supports MS SQL Serveronly, all the other DB platforms are not supported  last version, supporting legacy DBs was Microsoft Great Plains 7.5. On MS SQL Server you can increase Dexapplication performance by moving dex legacy cursors to SQL aggregated queries:select and insert statements
