Can we link external documents in nav 4.0?
My client want to attach some scaned documents related to perticular customer.
How can I attached it to that customer?
That functionality is not standard in NAV 4.0, but it is from 5.0.
You can
1) Create new functionality (tables,forms,...) to support it.
2) do a technical upgrade to 5.0 and take the code needed to have that functionality
3) do a complete upgrade to 5.0 and it will be standard.
I would go for 3.

Then add a command button on the customer's card
"See Attachments" PushAction:RunObject RunObject:Form Customer Linked Attachments RunFormLink:Customer No.=FIELD(No.)
you can add/remove and open them.
Click on the "Attachment" line to add a new one.
Click on the Open column to run it.
Then add a command button on the customer's card
"See Attachments" PushAction:RunObject RunObject:Form Customer Linked Attachments RunFormLink:Customer No.=FIELD(No.)

Click on the "Attachment" line to add a new one.
Click on the Open column to run it.
Not just for 4.0
Why not create a How-to? Or a download?

I was just wondering if it just stores the path of the attachment file or the file itself is stored in Navision DB?..for me it seems just the path.....I may be worng

Just to answer it stores the whole thing
example/
S:\My Data Sources\MailAddresses.xls
or
M:\Accounts Payable\Catalog\Vendor Catalog Info.RPT
etc etc
the path & filename
The file is not stored in the navision DB cause the post was about external documents.
Glad it works for you..It came about by a suggestion by Denster. I wanted to clean up how i accessed my Crystal Report and since you can't use Hyperlink with menu items - this was the next choice. http://www.mibuso.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23298
It's just a bonus that you can save almost anything here from JPG, BMP, XLS, DOC, PDF, web link..etc as long as you have the application to open the file type installed on your pc..it's all good

perhaps call it "Type" as an option field
With options of Item, Customer, Vendor, Whatever
Then you can use this same table to hold all outside links not just Customer Links.
Just add this filter to your command button
Customer - on Customer Card
Vendor - on vendor Card
Item - on Item card
etc
With an account # field for cust /vend or item to link
