1) With which version of NAV you are working?
2) NAV 2009 RTC is not supporting Matrix tables on the pages...

working in 2009 only..
can you suggest any other method...

Instead the matrix box, fixed layout page is used. Just look at standard "matrix" forms how they looks now and how they are converted into Pages.

1) Yes, you need to make some code.
2) Very good step by step guide how to do the matrix box is when you open the on-line help for C/Side and you will look for Matrix Box topic. ;-)

Look at the triggers for the Matrix Box. There is trigger OnAfterGetCurrRecord and OnAfterGetRecord. They are working in same way as same triggers on the form, but they are called for each column and row (each cell in the matrix box). During their call you have actual line record in Rec variable and actual column record in CurrForm.Matrix.MatrixRec (Matrix is the name of the Matrix ox control).
