GP 2010 Word template issue and Office 2010

Recently got a horrible but non-intrusive error when trying to print a word template from a batch (i.e. more then one transaction).  The error presented was

Unspecified error Location: Part: /Word/header5.xml, Line: 1, column:0

Click OK 

Word Found Unreadable content in "Check Remittance~5docx".  Do you want to recover the contents of this document?  IF you trust the source of this document, click Yes.

A fantastic article from the wonderful David Musgrave helped me out

The template worked fine for one transaction but presented error when printing from a batch. The reason was because I did not mark the Maintain Compatibility with previous versions of Word option when clicking Save As

Instead of recreating from scratch I did the following:

1. Create a new report template based on the default template.
2. Export the Template to Word 2010
3. Highlight all and delete the body
4. Open a backup of my previous Word Template, highlight all and click copy
5. In the new word template paste the body into it
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 for the Header and Footer.
7. Import the report back in and test 

This method allowed me to quickly recreated a heavily formated design without having to tell the client and my boss that I need more time.

Thank you David

I received the following error whe launching Dynamics GP 2010 R2 SP3 for the first time after upgrading from Dynamics GP 10 SP 5

".DLL: Data type STR15 does not exist  in the dictionary.  Parameter name: datatypeName"

It turns out my non-upgraded forms and reports were causing this issue. 

1. Remove FORMS.DIC and REPORTS.DIC not yet upgraded
2. Launch Dynamics GP 2010 and register etc
3. Upgrade Forms and reports using Dynamics Uttilites

VAT DayBook reporting VAT amounts for EU transactions using 0% Tax Detail ID after upgrade to GP 2010 R2

After a client upgraded to GP 2010 they noticed that the VAT DayBook was reporting VAT amounts for EU transactions using 0% Tax Detail ID.  This was of course incorrect and required this fixed.

Resolution
This was a problem with GP 2010 R2 core and was fixed by applying Hotfixrollup 2682502 taking the version to 11.00.1935(SP2)
