Kriki’s Dynamics NAV blog

I already blogged about the book I was going to read.
I haven’t finished the book yet, but I didn’t want to wait to write a review. Finishing the book will take me some more weeks because I am not reading it full time (lack of time) but I read it on my smartphone whenever I […]

I finished reading "Implementing Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013" about which I wrote in another post.
I took me a little longer than expected. Not because it so difficult to read but because of some private I have been very busy lately (both privately as for work).
As a rule, technical books have the habit of being a […]

These tables show the object-permissions you have with current license and security-roles (<NAV2013) / Permission roles (NAV2013).
Now that the forms and dataports have died, I would expect not to see them anymore in these virtual tables.
And indeed, I don’t see “Form” or “Dataport” as value in the field “Object Type”. But I do still see […]

Question 1:
What happens if you compile these 3 commands and you are using the servicetier?
Object.”BLOB Reference”.EXPORT(‘c:\xx\y.txt’);
Object.”BLOB Reference”.EXPORT(‘c:\xx\y.txt’,FALSE);
Object.”BLOB Reference”.EXPORT(‘c:\xx\y.txt’,TRUE);
Answer 1:
You get this warning twice: “Function ‘EXPORT’ is obsolete for Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server.”
Question 2 (Surprised): Twice? Why not three times?
Answer 2: The first line (without the second parameter) does NOT generate the warning! And when running […]

I have been playing around a little with the different login types because (as usual) I want to do something abnormal unusual.
What do I want to do?
I have a Virtual Machine in which SQL Server 2012 is humming and also the Dynamics NAV server. This VM is NOT in any domain.
But I want to run […]

Mark already blogged (http://dynamicsuser.net/blogs/mark_brummel/archive/2012/09/28/dynamics-nav-2013-to-azure-or-not-to-azure.aspx, http://dynamicsuser.net/blogs/mark_brummel/archive/2012/09/29/cfmd-amp-repeatablitiy.aspx, http://dynamicsuser.net/blogs/mark_brummel/archive/2012/09/29/azure-vs-azure-amp-multi-tenacy.aspx) about it and I was as disappointed as he was. I thought we would see something about SQL Azure (a SQL Server in the cloud) and not just Windows Azure (a VM in the cloud).
But later I talked with Jens Møller-Pedersen about Azure and I think the Azure-session deserves […]

NAV TECHDAYS 2012 has ended. And it was a great success. 625 participants and sold out!
As usual (after the Mibuso Conference and NAV TECHDAYS 2011) Luc has organized everything close to perfect. I heard some attendees talk about the best ‘feature’ of NAV TECHDAYS: the chairs. And I have to admit that cinema chairs are […]

That is not possible!
Do you really think so?
Yes?
So did I until a few hours ago when I got an email saying that it can be changed. Maybe some unexpected side-effect of some customization with G/L accounts we made?
First thing: lets see what it does in CRONUS. Create new "Purchase Order". Create new "G/L Account" line. […]
