Move over ZUP files to new NAV version

Roelof

I'm currently upgrading executables for a customer, from 3.70b Native to 4.03 SQL.
The customer would like to keep using their current zup files for their users.
I realize that domain settings, databasename settings etc... will be different, but are users still be able to use their own zup file?

Spec:
- Users login at a citrix server.
- Change from 3.70b Native to 4.03 SQL (only executables)
- users have their own zup file.

I don't think zup file from older version work with newer version. Nav will reset the setting for each object because the time stamp is different.

Hmm.. that would be a bummer.
No other solutions?

IN the grand scheme, I would think of it as an small inconvenience. After they use it for a day or two most of the users setups will be back once they change their own column widths & add/hide fields, etc.

I agree but you know how users of customers are. Very picky.
But I guess I don't have another option.

I have not seen the Navision 3.7 screen yet, but I believe that the from appeareance also different. There is no reason to keep the ZUP file, I think.

Note that this whole zup thing is one of the reasons that personalization on the RTC has been setup differently so you can 'reuse' it and it is not influenced by changes in code.
