Press Release Body: This ERP application was very popular in 1990th, before the time
when Great Plains Software introduced Great Plains Dynamics. We still see
customers, who are on GPA, and the version is normally 9.5, in some really
complicated old cases it is 9.2. If you are still in production with Great Plains
Accounting, you should consider couple of options:
1. GPA remote support. At this time, March 2008, it is really very hard to find
local GPA consultants, so there are few companies out there on US market who can
support you remotely.
2. GPA support technology. At this time it is really not feasible to train new
consultants to support Great Plains Accounting customers, even if MRP support
company decides to go nationwide. What Microsoft Business Solutions VARs are
offering is get your question and GPA proprietary knowledge base lookup service.
GPA existed in two DB platforms: Ctree and Btrieve, plus in Ctree version it was
also available on Macintosh - this is really the big problem for technical support,
as it is completely abandoned by GPS and its successor Microsoft Dynamics or
Microsoft Business Solutions subdivision of Microsoft Corporation
3. Common GPA support scenarios. The most typical scenarios are when your server is
in essence going down as hardware: more likely hard drive is full or corrupt, so you
can not login into GPA. The most common work around is to supersede GPA security by
replacing GRTPLN.DAT file with the original file either from GPA installation
diskettes or CD. If your case is more complex, you should call GPA tech support
company or us, Alba Spectrum
