Popup message

dookie

Hi all!

I'm new to navision... to be honest very new...

In my firm, we need something which I don't know if it is even possible to do inside Navision... We need some kind of popup message to all active useres... F.e. "It's time to do backaup! Go to lunch!"

Is it even possible and if is - how to do it?

Thak you all

You can have a look at Job Scheduler. You can run periodic jobs by Scheduler. For ex you can create a report which gives your message and run it once a day in which time you want.

Another alternative is creating a non-closable form and use the timer trigger of it.

To get the active users you can use session table (in fact if he isn't active then he will not get the message)

Hi
For verify who work in NAV of course use a session table and for send message SHELL('NET SEND',.... etc. Also you can just delete all session

And what about using MS SQL and backing up the DB during work without locking the users?
