Dexterity - Alternate Form 1

[celeron895]

I have developed a modification to an existing form in Small Business Financials. How do I give users access to this form? The security is different than Great Plains, and I don't see where I accomplish this.

I am not an expert of SBF, but you will probably need to update the security tables yourself.

If you add an entry for the appropriate user and company into the SY_Security_Normal_MSTR table.

'User ID' of table SY_Security_Normal_MSTR = 'User ID' of globals;
'Company ID' of table SY_Security_Normal_MSTR = 'Company ID' of globals;
'DictID' of table SY_Security_Normal_MSTR = DYNAMICS;
'Restype' of table SY_Security_Normal_MSTR = FORMTYPE;
'Resid' of table SY_Security_Normal_MSTR = Resource_GetID(DYNAMICS, FORMTYPE, technicalname(form '<Modified Form>'));
change table SY_Security_Normal_MSTR;
'Alias' of table SY_Security_Normal_MSTR = 0; { No Modified }
'AltDictID' of table SY_Security_Normal_MSTR = <Your Dictionary>;
save table SY_Security_Normal_MSTR;
check error;

I would also add a method of removing this security record if you need to.

Has anyone use the Blue_GrantAccess() function to accomplish this task? This is what is explained in the Dexterity integration guide. However, the example is for a new form, not an alternate SBF form.

I cannot find an example of SBF using an alternate form. Is no one doing Dexterity customizations for SBF?

I've been advised by my VAR that the Blue_GrantAccess() is not used for alternate forms. David's method above would need to be used.
