Maintaining ZUP for multiple users

Mohammed

Hi All...
For testing purpose navision is installed only in a test server... All other users are accessing this through remote desktop... How can I maintain different user's settings in the server... One user's settings should not be overwritten by another user's settings... Can i maintain this in one ZUP file itself or different ZUP files required for each user? pls help...

Hi,

Make sure that each user logins to the remote desktop with a different user name and then create a shortcut to fin.exe or finsql.exe on the desktop and add the:
ID=%USERNAME%
at the end of the shortcut outside of the quotes.

That way each user will have its own zup file without overwrite others.

It's working...Thank u
If multiple versions of Navision (Nav 4.0 and Nav 5.0) are installed in same system, how ZUP files are maintained?

Mohammed

I've opened the ZUP file with notepad and find that data for both versions are maintained in the same file itself...

You can use ID=NAV40%USERNAME% for the shortcut that starts NAV 4.0 and ID=NAV50%USERNAME% for the one that starts NAV 5.0. This way you got 2 separate zup-files.

Is there any drawback in using one zup file for each user with multiple versions of Navision?
