gptip42day - Suppress Change Date Dialog

Frank Hamelly | MVP, MCP, CSA Profile Picture Frank Hamelly | MVP... 46,532 Super User 2025 Season 1

You know the dialog box that appears when you stay logged in overnight asking if you want to change the user date?  This is known as the 'Change Date Dialog Message'.  This message is created by the system at midnight.  I'm not sure why GP doesn't just automatically increment the date by one day at midnight but this message box can cause issues if you have integrations or other automated processes scheduled to run overnight on that particular workstation.

It's easy to turn this message off in the Dex.ini file.  In GP10, this file is in the GP>Data folder.  In GP9 and prior versions, it's in the GP folder. 

Open the Dex.ini file in Notepad.  Scroll down the contents of the file until you find 'SuppressChangeDateDialog'.  The default setting is 'FALSE'.  Change the setting to 'TRUE'.

Save the Dex.ini file.  The message wil now be suppressed and not interfere with your overnight processes.
