Right now I am in the middle of a migration from QuickBooks to MS Great Plains v10. Been busy lately doing data imports from csv files into GP with Integration Manager. One other thing that can help you be an "IT Hero" is have good documentation with screen shots. So next time a new exployee starts you have a complete "How To" guide for them to follow. This also keeps them from bugging you. It is also great to have for things you only have to do once or twice a year. Since you only do it a few times a year it can be hard to remember sometimes.

It is also great to have for things you only have to do once or twice a year. Since you only do it a few times a year it can be hard to remember sometimes.

Shortcuts do save people so much time and effort. Sometimes it is amazing -- you could be using a software years and years, and then suddenly somebody comes along, looks at you and say "why are you doing it like this?" and then throws two clicks and save you a bunch of time! Say, maybe you can post your sort cuts in the forum somewhere under tools / saving time? I will dig mine as well and post it. Thanks for reminding me of this! Hey Pete,

One example is when I pass on keyboard shortcut tips to my other people at where I work. I have found that many people who have been using the MS Office programs such as Word or Excel do not even know some of the most basic keyboard shortcuts like CTRL+P, F12, or CTRL+S to help save some time.
