Support Debugging Tool Build 18 hotfix released
It had to happen. On my last day of work before going on leave, a bug was discovered in Build 18 of the Support Debugging Tool for Microsoft Dynamics GP.
So I am releasing a Build 18 hotfix for versions 10.0, GP 2010 (v11.0) and GP 2013 (v12.0), the hotfix build is dated as Last Modified: 23-May-2014.
The issue which was found can occur when the Administrator Setting: Prevent application windows from opening outside of the visible desktop area is enabled and the main application window is minimized. If you turn the option off there is no problem and if you don't minimize the main application window there is no problem.
This hotfix build includes a couple of fixes and some minor enhancements to existing features.
