I have one workstation with the Dex.ini setting for NoPrintDialogs=TRUE.  This was intentional as this is a dedicated workstation where we do not want to print any reports and we do not want to be prompted to print reports during posting.  This setting was working fine until we recently upgraded to GP 2018 R2.  The reports are printing and the prompts continue.  Is there another setting in GP2018 to disable the printing of reports?

Hi Vicki,

Just a thought… I was wondering if a ‘refresh’ would work?

Take out / delete that line from Dex.ini, then save it, then log back in to GP.
Afterwards, log out again, then add the line back in Dex.ini, and then log back in to GP.

The problem is probably due to the change to using per user Dex.ini settings in the newer version of GP.

The NoPrintDialogs setting might already exist in the user level Dex.ini and this setting is overriding any setting in the system level Dex.ini.

?If you have GP Power Tools you can use the Dex.ini Configuration window to remove or change the user level setting.  On the latest build you can open a Dex.ini setting editor on the workstation and edit the settings.

Or you can do it manually…. You can see and change the settings with the following SQL statements against your system (DYNAMICS) database (while the user is NOT logged in).

select * from SY01405 where IniKeyName = ‘NoPrintDialogs’

–update SY01405 set IniKeyValue = ‘TRUE’ where IniKeyName = ‘NoPrintDialogs’ and USERID = ‘sa’
