Weekly Review:Scrolling when reports are Printed to Screen

 

So you're working along in Dynamics GP and you print a report to screen. You scroll the wheel on your mouse to move to page 2 on the screen and nothing happens. So hit the Page Down key. Nada, nothing, nope. The page doesn't move down. Yes you can scroll down with the scroll bar but that's not efficient.

So what's going on here? It a bug, plain and simple and there's a plain and simple workaround. Click on the zoom button, the one shows the percentage size, then highlight a line on the report. Now the scroll wheel and page down button will work fine. This is supposed to be fixed in GP 2010.

Weekly Gotcha:Get rid of that Print Dialogue

Do you hate that print dialogue box that pops up everytime you print? There is a way to get rid of it. In Named Printers, (Tools->Setup->System->Named Printers in 8.0) you can turn off print dialog box. Open named printers and check the Do Not Display System Print Dialog box. If you've already setup advanced printers, select the Machine ID drill down and check the box there.

It's not inuitive, but it can be done.
