How to Call Form from Navision Menu

Secretz

Hi everybody,

We are running on Navision 3.7 at this moment and would like to upgrade to Navision 5.0.
On Nav 3.7, we have form 330 - Main Menu to call another form/report/code unit.
Since we are upgrading to 5.0, we would like to use out-of-the-box Menu feature but I encounter limited feature from menu.

Questions:
1. Can menu call form directly without have to click on item?
2. On 3.7, we limit permission through "Main-Menu Form" C/AL Code , is there anyway to call "C/AL Code" from Navision 5 menu ?

1) why 5.0? support has stopped for versions until 5.0. You need at least 5.0SP1. And why not upgrade directly to NAV2009SP1? It has no sense to upgrade to an older version. BTW: if you are on SQL, from NAV 5.0SP1 you need SQL2005 or even better SQL2008R2.
2) full upgrade or technical upgrade? If you do only a technical upgrade, you can keep your 3.7 menu.
3) Implementing security by limiting the menu-items is a bad idea. Users will always find a way to run objects they shouldn't. So you need to really implement security!!!!!
4) with the new menustructure you cannot put code in the calls, neither can you call an object automatically. BUT if you want to run an object when the user opens a company, you can put some code in the function "CompanyOpen" of codeunit 1.
