Hi,

ran into a strange "problem" today. Ever since I started writing c# code against SQL server Navision databases I've had to replace . with _ such as "No." would be "No_".

Then today while installing at a client all off a sudden the SQL Server doesnt want the "No_" but gladly accepts "No." !!!!

Is there a setting on the server that does this or does anyone know how to tackle this otherwise than changing all the sql queries to use . instead of _ ?

Regards

    I've never changed this setting but on file->database->alter->Integration Tab

    You will find remove characters text box


    Is the Convert identifiers checked?

    It is in the NAV setup under alter database.

    Reallly do not change it. We have some customers (3 if I am not mistaken) who have that running and it is a nightmare. SQL officialy does not support it. You can run into all kinds of ugly supprises.

    Yes - I decided to change the SQL syntax rather than taking the chance on changing the server as this has to be up at all times.

    Thanks for the help tough - at least I know the cause now.
