After detailing the step-by-step instructions for setting up the translation, he writes: "When you run the integration, the Vendor ID will be automatically translated to the values you specified in the translation table."

Matching Windows and SQL Server Language Settings: It took two screen-sharing sessions for Dave Musgrave, from the Microsoft Dynamics GP Support Team, to figure out why a user's modified Computer Check Report is printing out blank on one particular work station.
