Weekly Review: SmartList Defaults
Most companies have a common set of annoyances with certain SmartLists. Maybe the default SmartList doesn't include return enough records by default. Perhaps the fact that the credit column has to be moved after debit column every time induces frustration. Well, quit changing SmartLists every time and change the defaults.
Pick Administration in the Navigation List on the left in GP and click SmartList Options. Then enter the system password if necessary.
The SmartList Options window will open. This is a place where an administrator can change the SmartList defaults. Find a default SmartList like Account Transactions and swap credit amount and debit amount. Remove those fields you don't use and add ones you constantly have to lookup. Don't settle, take control of SmartLists!

The Passing of Newt Becker
If it were not for the intensive Becker CPA review course there is a good chance that I would never have passed the CPA exam. I was married with a baby and one on the way. You can imagine how much study time that gave me and self study wasn't cutting it. So I took the Becker class. I showed up twice a week. I did crazy amounts of homework and then I did it all again in the last two weeks to have the option of retaking the course…and I passed the exam. You'll forgive me if I'm a little overboard with getting my CPE credits.
I learned today that Newt Becker, the founder of the Becker CPA review course, has passed away. There are a lot of CPA's in the GP community and many have worked with Becker materials over the years. So this is my thank you to Newt Becker and the entire organization.

Why you need to attend Microsoft Convergence-FYI...it has nothing to do with going on vacation! - Microsoft Dynamics Convergence
Writing on the Convergence site, Mariano looks at Why you need to attend Microsoft Convergence-FYI...it has nothing to do with going on vacation!
I don't completely agree. Sometimes it is about vacation. A vacation from the office. A vacation from all of those people who "can't" all of the time. A vacation to a place full of what's possible with Dynamics GP.
