I have modified the Sales Transaction Window in 2010
I followed the instructions in KB894700 and KB910527. When I try to add security for my form, it does not appear in the Alternate/Modified Forms and Report list. I have select DefaultUser, All Products and Windows.
If I go to the Window Descriptions form, I can see my modified form but all the Tables say [Not Found].
What have I done wrong?

Thank You very much Ian for your Valued and Quick Reply
If its just modified standard GP windows (modified using Modifier) - then, when the databases are upgraded:
1. Verify that the paths in the Dynamics.set file point to the modified forms dictionaries.
2. Back up these dictionaries.
3. Launch GP Utilities and click next/ok until you get to the additional tasks window.
4. In here select 'Update modified forms and reports' and hit Process.
5. Drill back to the Dynamics.set file that contains the paths to the modified dictioanries.
6. Click Next
7. Select the products that you have modified dictionaries for.
8. Click the details button beside each product to make sure you are picking up the correct dictionary.
9. Click Update.
10. Check the report that will be created in your 'C:\ Program Files...\...GP\Data' folder.
If there are custom add ons developed in Dexterity (i.e. there is a custom dictionary in your set file). Then you will need to talk with the person who developed it.
Hello Ian,
One of our Client is going to Migrate from GP 8 to GP 2010 R2. That Client has already some of Customised tools, Also its using some of 3rd Party tools and we can take help from the Tools providers for Migration. But the basic concern is about Migrating Custom Forms and Windows which are utilized for some operations. Can I get some relavant information about how to Migrate Custom Forms, Windows and Reports from GP 8 to GP 2010 R2?
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Cathy,
Did you ever solved your modified form problem ? it's is not advisable to customize forms & reports on shared dictionnaries... (networked), this can easily lead to corruptions.
Instead, use a local copy of the Forms.dic file and modify you DYNAMICS.SET file. Once the customization is done, use the GP customization export function to create a .package file that you can later import into the share dictionnary.
Can you confirm if you used Modifier to create a Modified Form, or if you have created an add-in in Dex?
If an addin is the chunk exploded? Can you see the product ID in your dynamics.set file?
If its saying Not Found - it could be a corrupt forms dictionary. Rename the forms dictionary and try modifying the form again. Just add one bit of text to the form, and try and access it. This will proove the process is working for a start.
Are you logged into the same PC that you used when you modified the form?
It could be a .set file issue.
Ian.
