How to get the "Temporary Navision Path"

eromein

Hi,

Does anybody know how to get the "Temporary Navision Path" (TempFilePath from Navision options) within Navision. I need this path to save a Temporary file.

If this is not possible I would like to get the Windows Temporary path.

Thanks,

Emiel Romein

Hello,

This is the way i use to use the Windows temporary folder.

============================
txtPath:=ENVIRON('temp');
IF txtPath='' THEN
ERROR('unknowned variable TEMP');
IF COPYSTR(txtPath,STRLEN(txtPath),1)<>'\' THEN
txtPath:=INSSTR(txtPath,'\',STRLEN(txtPath)+1);
recFile.RESET;
recFile.SETRANGE(Path,txtPath);
IF NOT(recFile.FIND('-')) THEN
ERROR('TEMP not set');

=============================

Hope it could help you,

While in Navision if you go to TOOLS->OPTIONS
It shows you the TempFilePath. You can change it if you'd like.

-Is this what you are asking about?

Is there an ENVIRON parameter to get the Navision Temp. path?

Try this code to get the TempPath:

Vars
Name	                DataType	Subtype	Length
filFile	             File		
txtFileName	         Text		           250
txtTempPath	         Text		           250
i	                   Integer		


filFile.CREATETEMPFILE;
txtFileName := filFile.NAME;
filFile.CLOSE;
FOR i := STRLEN(txtFileName) DOWNTO 1 DO BEGIN
  IF COPYSTR(txtFileName,i,1) = '\' THEN BEGIN
    txtTempPath := COPYSTR(txtFileName,1,i - 1);
    i := 0;
  END;
END;
MESSAGE('TempPath = %1',txtTempPath);

It uses the CREATETEMPFILE function, which is available from Attain 3.60.

Great Stuff!

Thx y'all!

I think there is an easier way: :roll:

TempPath := ENVRION('TMP');

But be careful: Navision's TempFilePath is the TMP environment variable, not the TEMP variable. It's set on startup and will not be update during a running session.

and time has evolved..
since NAV 2009 we can use the system function: TEMPORARYPATH

Hi all. I have a strange problem. My TEMPORARYPATH var in nav 5 return ...local\Temp indeed ..local\Temp\ID\

What can be the problem?
