As fortune would have it, I need to work with two instances of the Navision client simultaneously, connecting to two local databases (client-only mode) -- I need to merge some objects and tinker with stuff.
When I try to open the second .FDB with a new instance of the Navision client, I get the following error:
"
Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision
This function cannot be executed while the database is being used by other users.
OK
"
Is there a way to run two instances of the Navision client in Client Only mode, connected to two local databases? - for development purposes only, of course.
SOLUTION:
1) Copy the Navision folder, typically, "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision\Client" to a new location, say "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision\Client1".
2) Now we can open two .FDB's by running one instance of fin.exe from each location.
Thanks,
Paul.
