Send To Excel 5.1 executables and 4.3 DB

SPost29

What do I need to do to get the Send to Excel and Word buttons to work in a 4.3 DB running in 5.1 executables
Thanks,

you need the 5.0 or 5.01 Client Folder.
But with the 5.01 there are some changes in the way of calculating the SIFTs. So this you must test before and may be optimize your index structure.
If you open the database with an 5-er client, NAV ask you if it should convert the database to the new NAV version. So you can't open the database (on the normal way) with the 4.03-er client

I guess my question wasn't clear.
I have opened my 4.3 DB in the 5.01 executables, everything works fine except
when I click the send to Excel button in the menu bar
nothing happens.
I moved missing 5.01 objects into the 4.3 DB (I think I got them all)
I added some 5.01 functions to Codeunit 1 (I made sure function ID numbers matched the 5.01 DB )
I imported the default style sheets.

What else am I missing? (or is it even possible?)

Thanks,

Steve

Thank you for all the help
I have done all the steps recommended and have this problem.
I am using 5.1 executables
Codeunit 1 in 5.1 does not have the function GetUidOffset as mentioned in NextEqualZero.com reference.
The other references do not mention this function so I followed their steps and it is not working
The form sort of ripples but nothing comes up.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Steve

GetUIDOffset is not needed. It is just internal function for development to be able to change the default base ID for new controls, variables and functions.

close nav and open it again. CU 1 is single instance and it stays in memory.
