We use MS Great Plains. I have a test system I have been using and they have some bad data in there. I have asked for a refresh. Now I have also created a couple of stored procedures, views, and a table of my own. Also put in some data that was lacking.

When they update me, is this going to wipe out what I have added?

That depends on how the update will be done.

A restore will definitely overlay all your modifications to that particular database. Did you ever think about a separate database for any new code introduced and then use 3 part naming convention to affect the appropriate company within the application (with the same database setup on the production server)?

Separate db sounds like the way to go.

How would I refer to the say table view if it's in another database?
My report uses a table view based on the database A, now you are saying I should make this table view in database custom. How does the report make the link?

Great Plains is now part of Microsoft Dynamics. We use the accounting and Financials.
