The always busy Mark Polino

Every once in a while, I run into someone who inevitably ask me "what do I need to do to become a Microsoft MVP?". At some point in the past, I tried to answer this question with at least some of the things that I do in the community, just as an example of the numerous ways you can contribute. Frankly, there's no one way to become a Microsoft MVP and furthermore this is the best response I can give to this question: You have to be an MVP without the title, before even receiving the Award.

So, what does this have to do with Mark Polino and why am I talking about MVPs you may be asking. Well, it turns out that Mark is probably one of the busiest MVPs I have ever known... the guy simply does not sleep! Even though, like me, he would argue that 4 hours constitute a good night rest.

Today in particular, I wanted to highlight yet another contribution from Mark to the community - among all the others that you will see in the next few months. As it turned out, Mark had been working on a top secret project -- ok, maybe I am watching way too much TV. The result of those efforts is now MyGPSearch.com. This new search engine is built on the Google search plarform and compiles information from all existing blogs in the community. You may ask, and how is that new or different? What's new and different is, MyGPSearch is also able to search for a query across the former newsgroups and the Community website. This allows you to find a topic even in discussions conducted between individuals in the community.

Mark makes it clear though that in adding any new resource he will carefully evaluate whether you are trying to advertise your company or simply sell something. If that's the case, your site may not make the cut.

As if this wasn't enough, MyGPSearch is also available for the Android platform (QR code below), so be sure to get the app if you really need to have a handy resource, literally, while out at a client.


Don't have an Android phone? Make sure to check out MyGPSearch.com mobile site. With so many choices, please don't tell me you can't find what you need.

The next time you ask, "What do I need to become an MVP?", just look it up in MyGPSearch.com. I have added a permanent link to MyGPSearch.com on the right frame of this blog.

Ok, now my head hurts!

Until next post!

DBMS: 12 Microsoft Dynamics GP: 0 error when updating to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2

Hello all! It's been quite a while since I've actually written anything of remote interest to anyone who follows my blog, but at the same time, you will be pleased to know that I've been quite busy in the consulting front, with upgrades, server migrations, complex multi-instance postings involving 10's of thousands of transactions, wrapping up some Field Service Automation projects, and the list goes on and on. This time around I want to bring to the forefront, an issue I encountered updating  from Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 SP2 to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2 plus the latest service pack. Background My client requested a server migration to a new environment where they wanted to deploy Dynamics GP 2013 R2 web client (plus the latest service pack) and upgrade their relational database management system to Microsoft SQL Server 2014. This is something I'm absolutely comfortable with (for the most part) given also that my client was sitting at Microsoft Dynamics

Moving on from my previous article on a similar subject - see Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'BASEUOFM' error when clicking on Items List in Navigation Pane , I recently came across this error,  Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'CONTACT' when clicking on the All Purchasing Transactions list under the Purchasing Navigation Pane option, after performing an upgrade from Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 R2. All Purchasing Transactions list error - Purchasing Navigation List The name of the global temp table - in this case, tempdb.dbo.##2093338- varies in almost all cases, but the end result of the error is the same. The issue has been identified running Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 RTM, SP1 or SP2. Upon further review, the issue is due to bad data in the Vendor ID (VENDORID) column in the Purchasing Receipt History table (POP30300). In summary, if you have a purchasing receipt with a blank vendor ID or a vendor ID that doe
