It’s been a couple of weeks now since Decisions Spring 2012 and unfortunately I was unable to attend the Q&A after my presentation and also had to miss the Expert Panel. As an alternative I will provide answers to some of the most interesting questions here: The Pace of Innovation: Does Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 … Read More →
A very strange message appeared when a user tried to connect to the test environment with the RoleTailored Client: (the server name is grayed-out for privacy reasons) What happened? Well, before ‘the change’ all users had the SUPER role. What we did was add a Company filter, because one of the Companies had to be restricted to certain … Read More →
This is a quick post about a problem I encountered a couple of times and the solution I found. When you run the RoleTailored Client (RTC) and in the Role Center page you try to “Customize this page“: then the RoleTailored Client crashes (dissapears) and when you open your Event Log there’s a big fat, … Read More →
Dynamics NAV Day at Decisions Spring 2012 is June 20, 2012. You can register here for the event. Have a look at the sessions & agenda: here And did I mention it’s a virtual conference (free of charge). Like last time, there’s also a session about Tips & tricks in NAV 2009 Reporting: http://decisions.msdynamicsworld.com/session/tips-tricks-report-design-msdymanics-nav-2009 In this … Read More →
Recently I was contacted by a fellow blogger, who had been scratching his head because of disappearing labels. The report in question was, for some unknown reason, not displaying all captions. It was a report with multiple data indented items. The strange thing was that when one of the data items was removed, the labels would show … Read More →
Something new I learned this week is that appareantly there’s a function GetUidOffset in CodeUnit1 (and it has been there for a couple of versions). GetUidOffset EXIT(0); // =0 –> control- and variable ids are assigned // based on license. // >0 –> control- and variable ids are using numbering //starting from that number The … Read More →
A question I receive a lot from customers and partners is if there’s a way to implement the PlaceInBottom effect on a report in RDLC. As you might already know, in the Classic Client, which I should now call the Development Environment, in the report object, there’s a property called PlaceInBottom. It determines whether a footer … Read More →
The latest weeks I have received a couple of questions from various Dynamics NAV consultants regarding strange SQL errors Dynamics NAV was throwing. A couple of examples: Table XXXXX coes not exist. Cannot find the user ‘$ndo$…….’, because it does not exist or you dont have permission. You do not have permission to execute table XXXXX. You … Read More →
What if a user asks: Could you create a report showing the inventory by Item, but in all of our companies? Sometimes I see the strangest and most exotic constructions or C/AL coding to answer these kinds of questions, when a more simple solution could do the same and better. 🙂 In the ‘old’ days … Read More →

Recently I prepared a blog post about a property RepeatWith available in RDLC reports that has the potential to revolutionize the way that we create document reports in Dynamics NAV 2009. It went like this: When developing reports in Dynamics NAV you are sometimes required to show information, which is in the Dataset, on the … Read More →
Did you ever had to outline information on a report? For example, the user asks you to move this field a little to the left or right, or can that textbox be a little bigger because sometimes it’s just not big enough? Or can you also add this information into that textbox, but don’t change … Read More →
Comments usually go into the Documentation() trigger in your report object, but sometimes you want to be able to also put comments in the RDLC layout. For example when you have put controls behind each other and depending on a certain expression you change the visibility. In that case, when a modification needs to be … Read More →
