Issue with Request form on dataport

tgupta

Hi Guys ,
I am stuck on a very simple problem
I have made a request form on dataport .Now when u make request form the default option of import filename does not come .So for that i took a text variable of filename and i am writing this code on the the OnPreDataport but still it does not show the lookup for selecting the file.Plss guide where i am getting wrong .


Dataport - OnPreDataport()

CurrDataport.FILENAME(ImportFile);
CurrDataport.IMPORT(TRUE);


Cheers ,

Hi Fb,
Thanx a lot it worked but still wondering why it works with ID 1 . Whats the logic behind .I think something related with OCX

There's no logic, that was just the ID of the control when Navision created the standard request form.

This goes back to Avista. In Avista (the Navision character product - which by the way may have been the finest character product ever put together by anybody, says I) the control id was set in increments of 1.

So the rule was that if the first thing that you put on the request panel was the filename, you'd get the special functionality of the browser. These days, it's probably written down somewhere, but for most folks, it's just tribal knowledge.
