I had wondered for quite sometime, on seeing a message that says "This company is set up for testing. Please do not use this company for Live data processing." (or something like that, not the exact message is provided here).
The reason for this message getting popped up: While creating the test company, the company name is entered with a "<"TEST">" (remove the double quotes)
GP automatically recognizes this tag "<"TEST">" and considers this as a Test Company and pops this message whenever you log on to this company.
Quite interesting, isn't it?

Is this happening only in GP 10?
I am not quite sure about this, Arun.
Probably we can check it on other versions of GP. To my knowledge, it should be true for all other versions as well.

This message appears because the Sample Company has a Company ID value of -1.

Also, have a look at my posting on how to control the date dialog in v10.

Indeed David, I had gone thru' your article on that, which is already been read by my team as well.
And to be honest, we are regular readers of your blog. For any information we need, the first place is the MS Newsgroups and very next place is your blog.
The additional of <TEST> at the end of the company name also works in version 9.
Quite a find! Thanks

A quick clarification:
The Fabrikam Date dialog appears because the Sample Company has a Company ID value of -1.
You are correct. This is documented in the following KB article.

Hi All,
David's article fills this topic in detail.
I would recommend all to read his article to know things much better than what we know now.

Just wanted to Thank Robert to discuss this topic with David and the R&D he had done to find out the reasons.
Thanks Robert.
