Hello Everybody,

In navision, how file system is used.I mean to say how instances of 'Microsoft scripting Runtime' classes.Actually I want to access text files through navision.I m able to create the files but cann't access them.I want to read,write and copy etc. in the files thru navision.
Anyone having idea...

Hi
you will need to create some variables

PathandFilename as text 250
Line as Text 1024
InputFile as File

then in the code

PathandFilename := 'C:\Text.txt'; // This can be a variable
if inputfile(PathandFilename).OPEN THEN BEGIN
InputFile.READ(Line);
END;

Hope this gives you some pointers.

Hi Chandan_kansal

Sorry for the late reply
I think that if you are going to Read, Write and Copy you shouldn't use the Automation unless you are going to run a script. You have control from within Navision to do these actions that you require.

In-house we are using the Job Scheduler to run various codeunits that in turn create read and copy files.
