Those of us that have been around long enough will remember that Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision 4.0 came out with the new XMLport and MenuSuite object types. I can clearly remember a sort of astonishment about this UI-less XMLport. To allow you to feed this "pipeline" with data you had to…
Chew, it has been quite some time we met here. Feels like learning to blog again. If you have been waiting for me all that time I make a deep bow and apologize for that. It has been a very busy 8 month period starting last December bringing our NAV…
The other day I was assigned the job of installing a couple of NAV 2009 (web) servers, which included setting up delegations. Lucky me. [:(] I ran into an issue that kept me busy for almost 2 days which eventually ended in a, as so often, very simple fix. [:^)] Of course…

I know, I am not the most experienced RDLC report builder around, and not a hard core Visual Studio user, except for using it is as my client for accessing TFS. Nevertheless I thought I knew my way with VS. Until this time when picking up RDLC report design and…
While preparing myself for teaching a NAV Development class in over 8 years I stumbled across this issue various times. As the topic was already on my possible-subjects-to-blog-about list for so long it’s clearly time now to write it. So what’s this about? Never noticed that when you have developed…
Having troubles getting dates matched on hybrid reports (needing to run both on CC and RTC)? Well we did, or actually 1ClickFactory developers did when converting a bunch of our reports. On this matter they recently posted this tip that might be of help to you too: Matching Date Formats…
