Executives must meet the seemingly contradictory goals of compliance adoption and organizational agility. While compliance adoption requires highly structured, rigid processes, organizational agility demands that you are flexible enough to drive innovation, develop and expand customer relationships, improve operations, and build stronger business relationships. Finding the right balance requires a better understanding of compliance requirements and how they are integrated into business process systems that are people-ready and designed for agility.
The Task Recorder for Microsoft Dynamics AX is a tool that records and documents user activity in the application. The tool can output this recording in a number of Microsoft Office document formats, including training-oriented documentation in Microsoft Word, presentation content in Microsoft PowerPoint, and process-oriented documentation in Microsoft Visio. This will therefore allow the recording of screen shots of the AX application to create documents that you can use in a variety of situations during an implementation, such as User Training, Request for Proposals (RFP) responses, etc.

A 'nice to have' feature request made by a prospective client was the facility to download daily currency exchange rates in DAX. Fred Shen had blogged about this previously and it was my source for inspiration :).
What you need are the following:
-Currency Exchange Web Service : I have used http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx
-Visual Studion2005 C# ( C# Program to access the Web Service and get the values)
-DAX :)
The code to access Web Service was written in C# {I've started to get my hands dirty wid c# :)}
The AXCurrencyExchange.dll was generated after building the C# project (The dll name may differ in your case). Copy the AXCurrencyExchange.dll to \Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\40\client\Bin.
Start DAX 4.x.Open AOT, and locate the Reference node. Right click, select Add Reference and register the AXCurrencyExchange.dll in DAX. Then write the following code and run the code.
This is still in R&D phase and I'll work further when I get some more free time.
Looking for feedback, comments, queries and suggestions for improvements :)
Upgrading to Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.x offers businesses additional advantages over earlier versions, including increased performance and scalability, improved ability to gather business intelligence and share information, deeper integration with Microsoft technologies, and key productivity and functionality improvements.
A sneak preview of the DAX 4.x upgrade framework is up on MFP's BLOG.
