Send to Word and Links

kirkgoodwin

I want to get the file location of a file generated by the "Send to Word" or "Send to Excel" buttons and populate a "Link". It doesn't look like NAV is keeping a connection to Word/Excel after launching. Anyone have ideas?

Thanks

true, same goes for me. Docs get lost after closing...

It looks like it is stored in your local TEMP folder as formcaption + xml so you should be able to find the file with

ENVIRON('TEMP') + CurrForm.CAPTION + '.XML'

But I have not tested it.

Good luck.

but, if you do it like this, the interaction log is not in line with the linked doc's. Does not look like the word integration can be used for CRM purposes....

It seems that the file name is created by the application and not by NAV. I was not able to find some code which set the xml filename...

But you can search for the last created xml file into the Folder.
And thats your file.

Yes, you can do it in some way "around"... :-)

the only mistake is, when an other appl. is also stored an file with the same type into the folder after navision stored the file.
