I am going to upgrade from GPA for DOS 8.2 right up to Dynamics 9. This requires upgrading from GPA 8.2 to 9.5 and then running the GPA 9.5 to Dynamics 9.0 utility from Microsoft.
The install and upgrade for the GPA 9.5 utility seemed to have gone well except the Venmas.dat file did not convert. Trying to open vendor information gives an "Error opening file" error on the venmas.dat file. Since I can still use venmas.dat file in 8.2 and the record length for the 8.2 and 9.5 Venmas.dat files are different it is clear that the venmas.dat file did not convert up to 9.5 and prevents the Dynamics upgrade from running.
I stead of fussing around with all the rebuilds and purges and all sorts of things I think it would be easiest just to import the 8.2 venmas.dat file into the 9.5 venmas.dat file. In order to do that I need the 9.5 DDF files. Microsoft can't seem to locate those any longer.
Does anyone know where I can locate those or how to build a DDF file for the venmas.dat file without knowing the structure?
