Help! I can't open a Classic Form in the RTC

Mr_Nav · 2009-06-09

1.) I have create a Report.
2.) In the Report i have input FORM.RUNMODAL(52115); in the OnInitReport() -Trigger
3.)
a) I would run the Report (with Property ProccesingOnly) in the RTC but i become an error "the page does not exist"
b) I would run the Report (with Property ProccesingOnly=false) in the RTC but i become an error "database server unknown"

Please Help Me. What do I simply wrong?

PS: Sorry for my bad English :oops:

Not sure what you are trying to do.. you cannot open classic forms on RTC, forms are pages, and you cannot open them from reports, so your report does not make any sense on RTC...

kine · 2009-06-09

You cannot use this way to open forms. The form is closed right after the OnOpen trigger is finished and the form goes into the wait loop (waiting for some trigger).

Mr_Nav · 2009-06-10

I would open the ClassicForm as described under http://dynamicsuser.net/blogs/mark_brum ... -2009.aspx

This works but for my Form not!

You must be sure that there is no Layout created in the report you want to run, because the report must be run in the classic mode. If there is Layout created, the RTC will run the report in RTC mode...

Mr_Nav · 2009-06-10

Attached my Report!

Wat is wrong???

EDIT: In ClassicClient(CC) I can run the Form over the Report (see the Picture)

kine · 2009-06-10

Open the report in designer, click Tools-Delete Layout, save object, close, try again in RTC...

Mr_Nav · 2009-06-10

Delete-Layout not possible

after save object in the RTC following Error

Check that you have selected the "File-Database-Alter-Options-Enable for Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server" option.

Mr_Nav · 2009-06-10

Is selected!

kine · 2009-06-10

Than check the ProcessingOnly property - it must be no to be able to remove the layout. I do not know history of your report, may be it was not ProcessingOnly before, someone created the layout, and the layout was not deleted when you set ProcessingOnly to true. And I assume that the report to work correctly, must be ProcessingOnly=No (else it is started in RTC mode each time).

Mr_Nav · 2009-06-10

OK. Without ProccesingOnly I can delete the Layout, but
when I run the Report (with Property ProccesingOnly=false) in the RTC but i become an error "server unknown"??

Check that the Classic Client of NAV 2009 is installed. For me it seems like some other version is installed instead (or was installed after the 2009 version)

Mr_Nav · 2009-06-10

The CC ist installed and I can open the Form (see atached).

I work on a Virtual PC. It's only Nav 2009 (RTC+CC) installed.

EDIT: Is that right (PIC ServErr) that i can't the server select??
I have the connection setup in the CustomSettings.xml!?

1) Please, when creating the screenshots, switch the client into english...
2) Where the SQL server is running? It seems that the client is trying to connect to it but cannot...
3) Are you running the CC when developing the form/report in the VPC too ro you run it from outside?

azwierzchowski · 2009-06-10

Are you using default or named sql server instance? You can not run classic reports in RTC if you are using named instance. I think that it shows "database server unknown" in this case.

Mr_Nav · 2009-06-10

@azwierzchowski
I'm using the default sql server instance. But its exist an another Instance from an old SQL Server!?!

My Configuration:
ServerName = TESTPC\SQLEXPRESS
Database = Nav2009_PPS_Demo

An in the Config from Nav (CustomSettings):
<add key="DatabaseServer" value="[color=#FF0000]TESTPC\SQLEXPRESS[/color]"></add>
   <!--
    Name of the database to connect to.
  -->
   <add key="DatabaseName" value="[color=#FF0000]Nav2009_PPS_DEMO[/color]"></add>
   <!--
    Name of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance to connect
    to (for client) or listen on (for server).
  -->
   <add key="ServerInstance" value="DynamicsNAV"></add>
   <!--

2) Where the SQL server is running? It seems that the client is trying to connect to it but cannot...
SQL-Server is running (on Virtual PC)
3) Are you running the CC when developing the form/report in the VPC too ro you run it from outside?
Yes the CC is running when i developing the form/report, but i can close the CC & RTC and restart and the problem is not solved

kine · 2009-06-10

TESTPC\SQLEXPRESS means that you are using named instance, and this is the problem which azwierzchowski described... ;-)

Mr_Nav · 2009-06-10

Realy :?: :?:

How can i easy change the named instance to a default insatnce?

mihail_kolev · 2009-06-10

Umm, I don't get it. You can't run form in RTC, have you made the page equivalent for that form??

I can't create equivalent Page .. that form is a matrix form

mihail_kolev · 2009-06-10

well, try this one

In the OnInitReport trigger write:
FORM.RUNMODAL(0, yourRecord);

your form should open this record by default i think... i mean
FORM.RUNMODAL(0, recCust); opens the customer list

But, WHY I can run other classic reports??
Is the default instance only for the CC-Forms in RTC essential???

mihail_kolev · 2009-06-10

Hmm... it's realy strange. Is same thing happen if you try to open the customer list the same way?
Also make sure that the RTC and classic client are same version.
When i try this, the customer list is open.

Howdy, Stranger!
