Transforming Add-on Solution Forms to Pages

matttrax

Trying to make an add-on that my company purchased compatible with the RTC. Of course it is in it's own reserved object range. I can transform it just fine, but when I import it complains that the page is in an object range that I don't have permission to create. Just like importing text files in previous versions.

My question is, how do I get this XML file into a compiled fob format so that I can import it and the client won't throw the error? Or am I forced to transform it to a 50,000 range object? I'd like to keep numbering the same.

Might be better to ask the company that made to add-on to send you the Page objects.

We've customized some of these forms, so their base pages wouldn't do me any good...unless I wanted to code the pages by hand [-(

Well, you need to upgrade their base objects first to NAV2009, then make your changes there.

Your license will not allow you to create objects into the Add-on area.

I was just hoping there was an easier way.

You can always import a compiled object in any range. It is then up to your license what you can do with that object.

It sounds like the transformation tool cannot be used on customized add-on solutions by anyone other than the original developer (since you will of course never get write permission for that object range in your own license).

I guess I'll see if I can get the base objects from the original developer and modify them by hand.
