Start Reports/Dataports automatically

Sanya

I want to start Reports or/and Dataports automatically. Does anybody know, how I can reach this? And what about starting the whole database incl. Login by a script or anything else?

Try a programme called Automate provided by Unisyn Software www.unisyn.com

You can try a trial version for 15 days.

You can also use the simple approach: a vb script:

wshShell.Run "fin.exe",1,false
WScript.Sleep(1000)
wshShell.SendKeys "{F12}"
wshShell.SendKeys "username"
wshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
wshShell.SendKeys "password"
wshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
wshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"

But as you see, the pasword is exposed if you do not use Windows login.

Thanks a lot for your answers. I will try... But unfortunately we got the version 3.10..... :?

I use the freeware AUTOIT with a simple script, very similar to the vb script by PrebenRasmussen; it simulates the keys you press when opening the Attain interface and run the report.
If you are interested I can send the script to you

Of course I'm interested It would be perfect. I have got the AUTOIT Program too. But I have no documentation. So I do not know how to work with it....

Thanks

You can find some documentation on the AutoIT homepage and on the Help file AutoIT installs.

The script I've made is something like:

; Runs Navision client
Run, C:\\Program Files\\Navision Financials\\fin.exe servername=YOURSERVER\, nettype=tcp\, company=YOURCOMPANY
WinWait, Login
WinActivate, Login
Send, USERNAME{TAB}
Send, PASSWORD
LeftClick, 50, 100

; Pounts to 'Contact Management'
Send, !C

that's it.
