The famous David Musgrave

I was talking with a client the other day about shared reports, forms etc. and he said he HATES sharing those files. He instead uses a synchronized approach.

I replied "you must know Dave Musgrave".

He said "Why yes. I follow his blog. How did you know?"

I made an educated guess as whenever I blog about sharing the reports.dic file David always points out the error of my ways. ha.

Funny thing is he hasn't seen David's shared reports.dic blog. So I pointed him in the right direction. His reply was "I guess I was cool before synchronizing was cool".

We were then trouble shooting what we think is an upgrade issue from GP 7.0 to 10.0 and was on the line with a systems guy from Microsoft. He asked if we use a shared reports and forms file.

I said "No way, this client is a Musgravion follower".

No kidding, the MBS guy laughed and knew exactly what I was referring to.

So not only is "Musgravion" an official word in the Dynamics language, David is know from Perth, AUS to Kalispell, MT to San Diego, CA to Fargo, ND.

Hi Doug

That is hilarious.

I wonder when it will appear in the Oxford dictionary?

We have now started saying WWDMD? (What would David Musgrave do?) :-)

Hey Doug,

Thanks for sharing my story. It's great to know that there are more "Musgravions" out there.

In the 7+ years I've been working with GP, I have yet to meet any GP developers that haven't heard of Dave, or Mariano, for that matter.

Victoria,

I love the acronym :-)
I think that it should be added to the official GP Developer's Guide.
