Accessing a file on the database sever

atankersley

I am trying to import a picture on the fly into a picture box on the item card. If the file is on my client it works fine. I don't want to put the file of pictures on every client. I would like the file path to point to a file on the server that runs the database. Is there any special way that navision can bypass the client in code access the database server.

if you use filename in UNC form it will be client independent. You need to use something like \\<servername>\<sharename>\<foldername>\<filename>

On your other post about getting the pic on the fly..
My P drive is a mapped network drive to the database server. It also could be a a seperate server too. the difference between Kines smooth way and setting an actually LETTER is that you physically have to go to each client and map the network drive to the same letter on every computer..
