Thanks to my parents for their support through the years, especially my dad who got me into computers when I was young; it's turned from a hobby into a good career.

Thank you to Rob Hankin and William Morris at Perfect Image Ltd., for your openness to my writing this book; without your support this project would never have been started.

Thanks also to Dave Staples who, despite my initial reluctance, first got me working on Financial Management Systems and then working with Microsoft Dynamics GP; first on the helpdesk and then progressing into a consultant's role. Without you I'd never have been in a position to start this book.

Thanks must also go to Andrew Cooper (AGC, never AC) with whom I worked alongside on Dynamics GP for a number of years as we not only learned the system, its flaws, and imperfections, but also its depth, breadth, and capabilities.

Finally, thanks to the people at Packt Publishing who I worked with through the course of the project and, not least, to Mark Polino for the predecessor version of this book and for his efforts in the wider Dynamics GP community.
