logu_cbe

Hi folks,

I would like to set one file name in Navsion.

File is in server location i.e, "\\server\filename.doc"

What will be the format in Navision to specify the file name in setup?

Thanks in Advance,

hi there,

Thanks for your response...

What we want to do is...

1. In Nav sales setup, i would like to keep one folder name (Say \\Server\folder1\)
2. One piece of code will do Report Saving in above sais folder as PDF and the same will be attached in mail.

We have done with point number 2.

In Point No.1, if i am giving Local folder (Say C:\test\folder1) i am not having any problem.

But i would like to give server harddisk location. (Shared location) as \\server\folder1\. How i can give this folder name in text filed of Sales & Receivable setup in Navision?

With Advance Thanks,
Logu

U can map on all computers the Serverpath (Z(Yourserver):\YorFolderToStore\) and store this path on sales setup (Z:\YourFolderToStore) or you store in Sales Setup the UNC Path. With UNC you doesn't need to map a drive but the users must have permissions to connect to the server (also with mapping).

See link in my above post.

Regards.

You can enter the path in same way you wrote it there. Did you tried it? Have you some specific problem with it? Some error?

Thanks a lot for your input garak. (Mapping the Drive....!!! My problem solved)

Hi Kine: We could not have it as \\server\foldername. We will have to map the shared folder.

Thanks,
