Login passwords for Dynamics GP are case sensitive and limited to three tries. This means that the words "password" and "Password" are viewed as completely different when logging in because of the capital "P" in Password. After three failed login attempts Dynamics GP closes and the user has to restart before trying to login again. When a user accidently has the Caps Lock button on it almost always leads to failed logins and user frustration.
In recognition of this Patrick Roth, in Developer Support at Microsoft, wrote a VBA utility that checks for Caps Lock activation and warns the user if it is on during login. He made the utility freely available to the community via the Developing for Dynamics GP blog.
In this recipe, we'll look at deploying and using this utility to warn users if Caps Lock is on.
