Hi all, With new release of Role Tailored Client the major problem user & consultants faced is of the shortcuts. The shortcuts that we used till date for the classic client are behaving so wired when we try them on Role Tailored Client. Like Ctrl + F8 was used to zoom the line but nothing happens in Role Tailored Client. F3 was used to create a new record but cursor moves to filter field in Role Tailored Client. and many more. Yeah Ctrl + O still works in same way as it does in classic client. Now after release of NAV 7 / 2013 these shortcuts will not be used as classic client does not exist, so i started learning new shortcuts. While learning these shortcuts i figured out a pattern that these shortcuts are similar to that of any windows application. As for a new document we used Ctrl + N in Microsoft word and excel, new navision RTC shortcuts are similar to these. so lets study and make our work easy by learning these shortcuts. The list of shortcuts can be found

Hi all, While developing reports in classic client with Export to Excel Enabled, client wants to have Header cell merged. This is mostly faced issue. Resolution - What i did is that i added a function in Excel Buffer table which merge specified cell. Function - PROCEDURE MergeRange(FromRow : Integer;FromCol : Integer;ToRow : Integer;ToCol : Integer); VAR   FromRec : Record 370;   ToRec : Record 370; BEGIN   FromRec.VALIDATE("Row No.",FromRow);   FromRec.VALIDATE("Column No.",FromCol);   ToRec.VALIDATE("Row No.",ToRow);   ToRec.VALIDATE("Column No.",ToCol);   XlWrkSht.Range(FromRec.xlColID + FromRec.xlRowID + ':' + ToRec.xlColID + ToRec.xlRowID).Merge; END;

Hi all, while connecting to RTC and we have multiple services we find mutiple URL for the service to connect in the window of select server. Lets see how we can remove the list. Resolution - Once we try to connect to a particular service it get stored in the URLHistory key of the client user setting files which is stored in the "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60" . Delete the value from the URLHistory and yes that it, the list will be removed. I hope you will find the soultion usefull. Thanks & Regards, Saurav Dhyani http://saurav-nav.blogspot.in/

Hi all, I was just thinking that there should an way that when we start an different RTC Client that is not installed in machine, we should not get an error. If you haven't read the post how to do it then go to the link . Why it happens - Role Tailored Client try's to pull up the last service that have been used successfully to connect. As in earlier post we created multiple services for multiple versions and every service is running. So how the RTC client will figure out which service to run when we click on shortcut of a particular version RTC.

Hi all, In Case of Report Development in Landscape Format, it was behaving wired. In need to select the printer orientation from the printer settings. But later on I thought about the same and started searching on the web. Then From MSDN i found out that if the report settings in RDLC are done correctly then we don't need to change the printer settings every time.

Hi all, I did some changes in the pages & Reports During run time and save the view.Now i wanted to revert those changes to the standard Navision settings. In Microsoft Dynamics Navision Classic Client we can do this by deleting the zup file as this file store all the personalization settings.But what about the Role tailored Client? For Role Tailored Client there are two ways to do it - 1) Delete the PersonalizationStore.xml. This file is located at \Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft Dynamics NAV.This file is used to store all user changes like resizing the columns in the pages. You can delete this file, If you want to roll back all the changes. The Problem with Way 1 is that it will delete all your settings, what if if you dont want to delete all personalization settings but selective setting. Here is the another way. 2) Go to Object designer, & Run Table 2000000080 Page Data Personalization. This table contain a record for each personalizati

Hi all, If we don't follow the installation & configuration of NAS properly we find a most common error. The Event Viewer Shows it as Event Type: Error Event Source: Microsoft Dynamics NAV Classic Event Category: None Event ID: 1000 Date: 3/13/2012 Time: 4:43:21 PM User: N/A Computer: XYZ

Hi all, While trying to install NAV Application Server(NAS), i faced lots of challenges. So i thought to prepare a How to install NAS. Remember some Points before you start - 1) NAS Require a Windows Login to start. This is because it is a service and it is not possible to define a database login in a service. So you need to create a login in the domain or on the server to do it. 2) SYSADMIN Rights to Windows Login in SQL Server. Now you have your Windows login, but this login has NO rights yet in SQL-server. So you need to create that Windows-login in SQL-server and make him sysadmin. See the manual on how to do that in SQL.

Hi all, As a Navision developers I have Multiple Versions of Navision running in single Machine. As discussed Earlier in the post how to run multiple Version of RTC in single machine. So my machine have following details for RTC Versions - NAV 2009 R2    - is installed. NAV 2009 SP1  - is copied at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\NAV 6.0 SP1 IN\ NAV 2009         - is copied at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\NAV 6.0 IN\ This approach has been working great for execution of Classic and RTC Clients. However, after installing Dynamics NAV 2009 R2, if i tried to view the Layout for an NAV 2009 SP1 Report i was getting the following error: ---------------------------  Microsoft Dynamics NAV Classic  ---------------------------  It is not possible to instantiate  the Visual Studio bridge.  ---------------------------  OK    --------------------------- After searching for the error i figured out the issue was due to - Design change in NA

Hi all, While trying to open the Report Layout of a Report I faced a strange error that says. --------------------------- Microsoft Dynamics NAV Classic --------------------------- The provided metadata is not valid. --------------------------- I searched on the web and after finding the solution, I was kind of felling angry.

Hi all, Sometime we face the error while trying to connect or change company in Role Center Client. Metadata for object of type Table with id 20000000xx is in a failed state. This is caused by a previous exception:  Object of type Table with id 20000000xx could not be found.  xx Can Be - 01,07,09,10,20,22,24,26,28,29,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,52,53,55,56,58,59,63,70. These are the System Hidden Tables in Navision. For the list of hidden tables refer this post . Where is Metadata Stored? Metadata is stored in Table 2000000071 Object Metadata for all navision objects ( visible / hidden). Why this error? This error occured if there in no metadata for any object in the table. When Metadata is Created? This has been created while we restore the database,if you remeber there is a new process in RTC Versions "PROCESSING OBJECTS" after creating keys. How to create Metadata? For Visible objects you can compile the object and the metadata will be

Hi all, Microsoft SQL Server has an import and export wizard that assists you in copying Navision data from one database to another. This import and export wizard is available in any version of SQL Server, and it lets you copy tables, data, functions and other database objects. This is beneficial when you want to move your Navision data to a faster server for better querying performance.

Hi all, Which doing a implentation i found a error, and i thought of sharing same so that others who face this issue can reslove same without spending time which i did. Everything done, from syncronization, change listener but the error remains same as shown in screenshot below. After searching i found out at MSDN that this is due to SQL Server and Firewall.
