NAS to show a message/open a form

Alisha

Hi,

I would like to use a NAS to show a message / open a form to certain users when there are records on a particular table (errors coming from an automatic import). As NAS does not support GUID, anyone knows how to do this?

Very interesting questions....!

Yes that's possible, only don't use a nas for it!
Create a process in the sessions background.

I created a singleinstance codeunit which i call from codeunit 1 from the function loginstart, so when the user logs in...

The codunit has a withevents navision Timer automation variable 'nttimer'
After the creation of the nttimer in the onrun section i just have to set up the interval

On the timer trigger i just check the specific table and show the screen if necessary....

Code :

--OnRun()
CREATE(ntTimer);
ntTimer.Interval := 1000;
ntTimer.Enabled := TRUE;

--ntTimer::Timer(Milliseconds : Integer)
IF recTemp.FIND('-') THEN BEGIN
    MESSAGE('found record %1', recTemp.Desc);
    recTemp.DELETE;
END;

i didn't show a form but that's not going to be a problem i guess.

In this way you can create myabe some sort of notification system....
Maybe an interesting idea..... :-k

Just as an additional FYI. You never want to have NAS work with any process that requires user input. As soon as NAS encounters any Navision code with a dialog variable, or a confirm/message statement NAS will throw an error in the event log and probably shutdown.

Works perfectly! Thanks!!
