Here is an sample of a shortcut with parameters :

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision\Client\fin.exe" ID=name licence=license.flf database=pathOfDatabase

License is the name of the license you want to use
Database is the path of the database
ID = a ID to keep all parameters in a specific file

You also can add a parameter for a specific company such as
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision\Client\fin.exe" ID=name licence=YourLicence.flf database="C:\Navision\Databases\YourDatabase.fdb" companyname=YourCompanyName

I want to test a backup, and the database consist of two files, how do i test this with out running a server?

Can i add both databases i the startup parameter?

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision\Client\fin.exe" ID=ZupFileName licence=YourLicence.flf database="C:\Navision\Databases\YourDatabase1.fdb+C:\Navision\Databases\YourDatabase2.fdb+..." companyname=YourCompanyName

Hi!

My shortcut looks like this:

"C:\Program Files\Navision Attain\Client\fin.exe" id=test123 licence=fin.flf database="C:\Program Files\Navision Attain\Client\test123.fdb"

Unfortunately it does not work. No database is opened. How come?

By the way: I am using version 3.01.B.

Because there is no "," between the parameters?

Also, I don't think that "id=test123 licence=fin.flf" will work. Try "id=fin.flf", you may want to try adding the full path in there too.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to specify a license file as imput parameter when you open a database ](*,)

I don't suppose there is a way to specify the servername in there also?

From 'w1w1isg.pdf' on the product CD:

You can set up the connection to the server in the Target field by entering the name of
the server after servername=

How do they put it? RT<bleep>M?

I was working in a network with windows 2000 Professional and windows 2000 XP Professional. When you create a shortcut in windows 2000 Professional the parameters must to be separate with spaces in windows 2000 xp Professional the same parameters must to be separate with commas (except the company name).

I think that it's strange and I post in this forum because I lost lot of time.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision\Client\fin.exe" servername=10.0.0.6:2410, nettype=tcp, ntauthentication=no, id=c:\%username%, company="Test Company - BTEC"

if you are using the server the license will be the server license, if you are opening a local database the license will be the license in the program directory that fin.exe is located. this parameter opens a test company on a windows 2000 machine and the "," is required for use.
