Searching on the New Microsoft Dynamics GP Forums

Hi Folks

The old Dynamics community newsgroups are now being phased out and replaced with the new forums. For the full details on this please see David Musgrave's blog on the below link.

We have been using the new Microsoft Dynamics GP forums for a while now and have had a good experience with them so far however we have discovered that there is a slight issue with the search. The only way to get meaningful results from your search is to enclose your criteria in double quotes.

For example Management Reporter will not return anything however "Management Reporter" will.

So enclose any query in double quotes and it will save you a lot of frustration.

I have copied in the links to the Microsoft Dynamics GP forums below from David Musgrave's article.

So the time has come to stop using the old newsgroups and shift to using the public community forum or the partner forum, see links below:
