I ran into this rather sketchy error on a customer system when trying to open the Sales Transaction SmartList:
Unhandled script exception:
Index 258 of array '[Not Found]' is out of range in script
'ASI_Explorer_Get_Field_List'. Script terminated
Generally an index out of range error means the array variable is dimentioned smaller than what the script is trying to pull out of it. For instance, the code is trying to access location 10 of an array with only 8 spots.
I went into the Tools >> Setup >> System >> SmartList Options window in GP and noticed that all the fields for the Sales Transaction SmartList were selected. I figured maybe the saved settings had gotten corrupted somehow and just needed to be re-saved. I clicked OK, and it gave me the error saying that I selected too many columns, and that I needed to reduce the number of display columns to less than 190.
I have not idea how they were all selected in the first place (or maybe the settings were somehow corrupt), but I just hit the Default button to reset the selection to just the default fields and saved. No more error.
I've been working with computers for almost 30 years now. This blog contains some of my more useful tools and scripts - mainly so I can find them myself easily. Hopefully they are useful for others as well.

Automatic Screen Capture
Description:
A utility to create automatic screenshots. Multiple monitors supported.
I created this program to help me go back through my day to see what all I worked on.
This is freeware. No reverse-engineering or anything like that. Use at your own risk.
One known issue - it does not handle the larger Windows 8 DPI settings very well. That will be the next thing I tackle whenever I get back around to working on the program.
WARNING:
This is not intended to capture someone's screen without their knowledge.
I will not change it to hide the system tray icon nor the process in Task Manager.
How To:
Settings Screen
Prefix | File name prefix |
Suffix | File name suffix, including timestamp; currently this is not editable |
Folder | Folder in which to save the screenshots |
Compression | Percent to which to compress the image files |
A lower number creates smaller files; a higher number is higher quality | |
20 percent is the lowest suggested value that is still readable | |
Capture | Amount of time between screenshots |
Stop | Amount of time between reminders if the auto capture is stopped |
Snooze | Snooze the capture and stop warnings |
Set | Press to save and apply the settings |
Start | Start or stop the auto capture |
Minimize | Minimize the window to the system tray |
Exit | Close the capture program |
System Tray | |
Double-click | Create a screenshot right now |
Right-click | Settings | Open the settings window |
Right-click | Start | Start or stop the auto capture |
Right-click | Capture | Create a screenshow right now |
Right-click | Snooze | Snooze for duration of selected time |
Right-click | Exit | Close the program |
Notes:
If you stop the auto capture but do not fully exit the program, the settings window will pop up
after the interval specified in the Stop Reminder Interval. This is designed so you do not forget
to turn on the auto capture if you needed to stop it for a period of time but don't use snooze.
Version Info:
1.8
-------
Fixed a bug when manually entering a save folder
Added a capture button on the Settings window
Added statistics of Captures vs Missed timed screenshots
Added About window
1.7
-------
Added Snooze functionality to the system tray

Various code streamlining
1.6
-------
Added Snooze functionality; use from the settings window; this will pause captures and stop warnings
The Set botton will turn yellow when settings have changed but are not Set
The Snooze button will turn yellow while snoozing
Added warnings for un-Set changes before starting capture or exiting the program
Setting window format update
1.5
-------
Added the Stop Reminder Interval
Added Start/Stop to the system tray
Added Settings to the system tray
Changed the system tray double-click to be a manual screenshot
Updated the message box when closing the program from the settings screen
1.0

GP User Activity with Status and IP
If you've ever needed to clear out old GP users, you know it can sometimes be difficult to figure out which ones are still connected and which ones are not. Yes, the ones that logged in two days ago may seem the obvious choices to kick out, but that's not always the case. We've seen users leave GP open for days on end to not lose their seat and their SQL session is hot, and we've seen users open GP in the morning but bombed out an hour later but didn't need it anymore so they didn't bother to log in to clear their seat.
Either way, this script below combines several GP and SQL system tables and views to give you a broad view of the status of your GP users. It will show whether users in User Activity are in fact still connected to GP, how long they've been logged into GP, when their last SQL activity occurred and how long ago it was, their computer's IP address, if they are working on batches, and what table they are currently working in.
I'm sure there is still some room for improvement, and I will be adding to it from time to time, so check back later for any updates.

Check Disk Space script
Part of normal maintenance of a Dynamics GP SQL server is to make sure there is enough disk space for your data as it grows. Similarly, you need to make sure your data files aren't growing more than they should.
This script draws from several system tables to show the recovery model, the last backup of the data or log file, the size of the file, the growth of the file the next time it runs out of room, the drive on which the file is stored, and the free space of the drive.
I included the Recovery Model and LastSQLBackup columns to show the situation where FULL recovery is used, but no Transaction Log backups are taking place. This situation causes the Transaction Log to grow unnecessarily until it fills the hard drive. If you do not back up the Transaction Log, having FULL recovery is both useless and dangerous to your data at the same time; dangerous because it can bottom out your hard drive while transactions are being posted, and useless because the log file hasn't been backed up to be able to use in a restore which is the whole point of having it in the first place.

Copy Live to Test company - version 4
I've updated my script since my original post back in 2011 that is used to refresh a GP test company with live data.
This tried and tested script will perform the following:
Version 4 changes:
This tried and tested script will perform the following:
- Back up the current test database (optional; on by default)
- Back up the live database (optional; on by default)
- Restore the live backup (or, optionally, any other SQL backup)
- Run the CreateTestCompany (Microsoft) script
- Set the output settings to print to screen instead of a printer (optional; on by default)
- Change the Recovery Mode to Simple, and shrink the log file

END
Version 4 changes:
- Specify the restore folder for the data file (.mdf)
- Specify the restore folder for the log file (.ldf)
- Backup compression (optional; on by default)
- Uses the "Copy Only" switch - so it does not mark the database as backed up - useful when using certain other backup software as the primary backup
- Messages window shows the auto-generated backup filename of the LIVE database for use in the optional restore feature below
- Restores a backup you already created (optional)
- Changes the posting output of the TEST company in GP to Screen instead of Printer (optional)
- Changes the Recovery Model to Simple and shrinks the log file of the TEST database
- Backs up the TEST database (optional)
- Backs up the LIVE database and restore to the TEST database
- Runs CreateTestCompany script from PartnerSource against the TEST database
