Hi,

Error Message :

The connection to "" Microsoft Dynamics NAV database failed. The program returned the following error:
Connect Execute: Couldn't connect or open the database, verified the database exist, server name is correct and connect database is closed before connecting. If multiple Dynamics NAV version are installed, then remember to set the NavisionPath to the correct client files. Error thrown is : Error code: 15990790 - Error message: The TCP/IP connection's host is not answering (TCP/IP error ECONNREFUSED).
You can see how to make changes to your 'host' and 'services' files in the documentation for the network. Conact your system manager if you need assistance.

Hello

I Have the same problem.

Any idea?

Thanks

I have same problem too! In 2 installations.

Both are in a native NAV server. If you can try in a SQL server, this error don´t appear.

I supose is related to the TCPS nettype, because the error message is the same if you try to connect a NAV client, and you forget it, and try to connect with the Nettype=TCPS (now is the first option!! :x ).

Anyone solved it?

Thanks

If you are using Navision in Native mode; then you must configure outlook.exe.config file.

You can find that file in the program files or wherever you have outlook.exe; so in the same folder you will outlook.exe.config file.

Open the file and search for 'NativeTcps', it should be under key 'NativeProtocolType'.

Change 'NativeTcps' to 'NativeTcp' and it will work.

Thanks and Regards,

Or if you have 2 native servers at ur machine; then you have to modify Hosts file.

NAV5 native database. Installed in default location. Settings for NativeProtocalType is NativeTcp. On NAS it is TCP/IP. However on TEST connection, I am getting error message:
