Weekly Dynamic: Portable Excel Reports, the Best of Both Worlds Part 2

Last week we looked at how to create a refreshable Excel report using ODBC connections to Dynamics GP. This week we will look at how to make it portable.
  • Open the Excel file from last week.
  • Pick Data | Properties | Definition
  • Click Export Connection File and save the file.
Now the Excel file and the connection file can be sent together to provide a portable Excel file with built in parameters.
