My friend Corey and I have a running joke called 'things that bug me'. Everyday occurrences that just... grind on you. Overly cheerful Starbuck's employees, people with 15 items in the 10 item checkout lane, things like that.
It has always irritated me how difficult it is to get a comprehensive listing of table definitions for Dynamics GP. I know, you can open the app and go to TOOLS > RESOURCE MANAGEMENT or whatever, but that's a pain when you're coding and need a table name. Too, there are the docs in the SDK... also too slow.
On the home page of this site I have links to table defs that I have compiled over the years. Mainly these are dumps out of Dynamics; but the on-line format is much more convenient for me. (they get a surprising number of search engine hits, too)
Recently I taught a class in Fargo for Microsoft on Visual Studio Tools for Dynamics and eConnect; I had the good fortune to meet David Musgrave there. That's kind of like teaching a class on operating systems and having Bill Gates in the third row. Just a little daunting.
Dave has written a few utilities for Dynamics that are filed in the 'Wow' category - I'll detail two here:

This is a utility that was designed to move tables from database to database... not much interest for me. But... it also documents tables. And very thoroughly. Nice.

Another common problem for VS Tools developers is that you can't launch a custom form from the menu bar, you have to attach the open code to an existing form. Or the 'extras' menu for that form. This utility allows you to add your new form directly to the menu.
Last, there's this

It's just stinking funny. Read all the way to the end. If you work in Dynamics and don't laugh... well, you're probably a CPA.
Dave, we're not worthy <smiles>
