How do you open a form after logging in?

Cali_Koppers

This is probably something that is very simple. I'm running 4.0 SP3 (5.0 SP1). I want to open a form after the user logs in. What is the best way of doing this? Please let me know. Thanks for your help.

Add this code at the end of function LogInStart (codeunit 1):

IF GUIALLOWED THEN
  FORM.RUN(FORM::"Customer Card");

Login trigger is executed for all users so you could need to filter related users to display this form. (if everyone does not have permission to access it) Otherwise system displays an error message but then skips it.

Works like a charm. Thanks.

A kinda 'old-style' official way it used to be done in older versions of NAV but still work.

Create TRIGGER with ID 1 in ApplicationManagement CODEUNIT 1 and have it return Integer of FORM ID

PROCEDURE MainMenu@1() : Integer;
BEGIN
  EXIT(FORM::"Main Menu");
END;

HOWEVER!!!

I noticed some dimwit@ms.com created the GetCurrency trigger with this ID in 2009SP1!!! Hope they change this in future update...
