Back in January 2011 i wrote about the NAV Launcher, a project based on the Navision Starter v1.2 orignally created by Sergey Gazizyanov back in 2006. Well, i realized that i never put a download link on the site.
Attached in this post is the installer for the .NET project. It requires, as far as i remember .NET framework version 2.
In Dynamics NAV 2009 RTC you have the new functionality with Notifications. It allows you to create notifications and send them to other users, so it shows up in their “My Notification” on the Role Center. The notifications are actually stored in the “Record Link” table as a BLOB field.
This is a great functionality, but as it is now, you can only see the notes from the My Notifications and the notification fact boxes. In this blog post i will take a look at how you can print these notes in a RTC/RDLC report.
Lets take closer look at what is stored:
You know the hoops you have to jump before you got Visual Studio setup for creating a RTC add-in. Well look no further Christian Abeln published a couple of great templates to use in Visual Studio, that will help you create your add-ins much faster and easier.
Actually he already published tempates back in 2009, as you can find on this link: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cabeln/archive/2009/11/16/resources-to-my-add-in-sessions-at-directions-09-in-austin-tx.aspx.
His new updated templates that VS extensions can be downloaded here:
In my search for some information about getting Item Tracking via ADCS to work with MRP/MPS in Dynamics NAV i noticed, that when i searched for specific terms of functions in NAV objects a website kept popping up in the Google search results.
For some reason i had not really seen it before, must have missed a blog post about it :). It is basically a web based object model of Dynamics NAV. I know you can use other tools like Developers Toolkit to provide the same functionality, but having it online and available without any setups is pretty cool.
This morning i was reading the blog post from Arend-Jan Kaufmann regarding opening Classic databases with the correct executable version. You can see his blog post here:
Suggestion for Available Databases Form in Dynamics NAV
It reminded me of a tool i basically use on a daily basis, as well as many other people in my company. It is an extended version of the Navision Starter v1.2 orignally created by Sergey Gazizyanov back in 2006. I have added support for the latest version, as well as shell integration for native databases (*.fdb), so you just double click on the FDB file.
The launcher will determine the database version from both SQL and native databases, and choose the right client executable to open the database with. It also can do automated login with database login, by using a default password like sa/sa.
See here for a quick overview…

18 days into the new year of 2011, and still wondering where 2010 went? Since the last postings things have been busy with end of year tasks for customers, holiday with the family and here early 2011 a NAV 3.60 to NAV 2009 upgrade.
With christmas time just a few weeks past, i think i know what one of our customers got for christmas :). Well, here is the story… you know for troubleshooting issues remotely screenshots of the process and error messages are always a big help, so our support department requested that from a customer.
Here is what they send us:
Every time you copy/paste data from NAV to Excel, you always run into the “intelligent” way Excel handles data. Excel’s default number format is “General”. Unfortunately this has some drawbacks, especially when you paste in data from another application.
Lets do this example, enter in a new cell with Number Format General, the value “001010”, and you will see Excel stores this as 1010, since it determined your value to be a Number. Of course we wanted it to be the equivalent of a NAV Code field, and expected Excel to keep it like “001010”. In order to do this you can for the field tell it is text by adding a ‘ in front. So far so good….
But when doing a copy/paste you dont have that option, so what to do?
