location of word xml

Hi,

In navision 5.00 you can export to word trough a stylesheet. This all works very well.

Say you make a quote, then click the export to word button in the menu bar. Word opens up with the correct style and it can be printed. But, the customer decides to add some text to the quote and saves the resulting, edited, file.

What we would like is that the file location and file name are somehow stored in the sales header and trough a button on the form, you can reopen that specific file.

I don't see how we can retrieve the path where the xml was exported, nor can we set the path in the first place and dictate to word where the file shoud be saved.

Any idea's?

    Once the word document is opened, the user needs to save the word document to a shared drive that everybody has access to.
    In NAV the user needs to click on Links button and enter the URL for the document.

    Hi,

    Yes, that is correct. But the point was, how could we get the url filled in automagically...

    If the user saves with name that has the DocumentNo in it, You can setup a job on jobqueue to monitor the folder and write the link record..
