You cannot change any of the built in Smartlists without one of these tools. Brian Begley bbegleylpg@yahoo.com

Accountable Software just lowered the price of Anyview, which I think is a better product than eOne's SmartList Builder. This was done in reaction to Microsoft buying Smartlist Builder and adding it to the Great Plains 8.0 product line. The price is 1250 for unlimited users. Contact me if you...

We have a client looking to integrate information from an outside manufacturing systems with GP Manufacturing Order Processing and Bill of Materials. Integration Manager has no hooks to Manufacturing, and neither does eConnect. The data looking to integrate will be MSSQL based. What would...

we have a few clients who use Professional Advantage's "Company Data Archive" for Great Plains and are quite happy with it. Brian Begley

Here in the US - where are you?

Have you examined FRx Forecaster? It works with FRx and Great Plains - I believe it can have up to 367 periods per year.

Look into the greenshades product line. I'm not sure about the consolidation aspects, but I am sure their ISV product will help in creating payroll tax returns www.greenshades.com Brian
