Symptoms

When you open a window in Microsoft Dynamics GP, you receive the following error message:

Cannot access this form because the dictionary containing it is not loaded.

Cause 1

If a previously installed module is removed, Microsoft Dynamics GP doesn't assign an alternate existing form. See Resolution 1.

Cause 2

If a forms dictionary has been removed or has become corrupt, Microsoft Dynamics GP can't open the assigned form. See Resolution 2.

Resolution 1

To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods.

Method 1 of Resolution 1

Reinstall the module that was removed. This action re-creates the product dictionary that Microsoft Dynamics GP must access.

Method 2 of Resolution 1

Select a form for Microsoft Dynamics GP to use. To do it, use the appropriate option.

1. Open the Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports window. To do it, on the Microsoft Dynamics GP menu, point to Tools > Setup > System, and then select Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports.
2. In the ID list, select the appropriate ID.
3. In the Product list, select All Products.
4. In the Type list, select Windows.

6. Expand the appropriate window, and then select Microsoft Dynamics GP or the appropriate option.
7. Select Save.
8. Close the Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports window.

หมายเหตุ
