Trying in XP mode did not help and I don't want to work with it in a virtual XP machine so I terminate my efforts at this point. Thank you for your help.

Try this one http://www.mibuso.com/dlinfo.asp?FileID=1371. I have been using it in Windows 7 (32 bit) and Windows Server 2008 (32/64 bit) and without any problems. I have only problems with Windows XP...

I've fixed the problem 8) I'll soon release the new tool....and added a surprise now you'll be able to compare two different objects
NAV Object Compare
This tool will help you to compare and merge objects from different databases.
Before using the tool you need to open two Navision Clients and point them to the databases you want to compare.
After having filled the path of your preferred tool to compare txt files (compare software path), and pointed to the two databases press COMPARE and the software you selected will open up with the two objects already extracted as text files.
Now you can merge one into the other save and close the program, you can now import and compile the merged file back into the Database.
Enjoy!
Version 28/07/2011:
Updated the tool to support 64bit OS
Added new functionality to compare two different object types/numbers...by default the same object type and number is compared but that can be changed in the relevant control...
Version 22/07/2011:
Updated the logic to retrieve the correct session of NAV opened, this should solve the problems with the same database name on different servers...
Version 5/05/2011:
Fixed the "Object Caption Problem", when extracting an object it was using the object caption name instead of the correct object name.
Version 20/11/2009:
New Functionality Added:
- New Two Buttons to Import the Compared txt file only in the selected DB.
- Added support for NAV 2009 Page Object.
- Added ToolTip to every button to quickly understand what every button does.
Using a SERVER.EXE the message still remains (No active connection).
Using it without a server (local client) the message is new: Import Object Function Failed.
Parametername: Ein Teil des Pfades "C:\Users\RGA\Appdata\Local\Temp" konnte nicht gefunden werden.
This path however does exist but I did not enter it's name anywhere.
I'm happy now! I got it working, with server as well as local. You must not set quotes before and after the pathname, and you must only provide the database name with nothing "around it".
Your last changes regarding comparing different objects will help me very much. Thanks a lot!
I like your tool very much. It saves me a lot of time to maintain all the databases we have at our company. Just one question: would it be possible to include more info in error messages you get when you try to import a merged object?
OK, that is just the problem I'm experiencing. Eg. I compare two forms via your tool and merge them in Beyond Compare. After that I choose one of the six options to import the merged object. Then I receive an error that is too ambiguous for me to understand what is wrong. I then try to import it directly in Nav and it says someting like "ObjectID xxxxxxxx was allready used". If it would be possible to show that error message in the tool that would be great.
I have been using this tool for more that a year now and is very useful but does not seem to work on 64bit for some reason. Do you know if you can fix this
