I heard that MS Gold Partner Celania is bankrut.
They were based in Denmark and had outsourcing center in Ukraine.
Are there any here who worked them?
Some companies get in trouble with them.

    I have not heard this. Their US office is here in Atlanta, and last I heard ( < 2 years ago) they were opening a new office in another country. I won't comment on which country as I don't know if that information is public.

    It's best not to assume anything. While it may be true, there is no point in spreading rumors like that. Even rumors can have consequences for people and companies. I would say wait and you'll find out soon enough if they are still accepting customers and doing work for people.

    That's the one I was thinking of. I would be shocked if they were going out of business seeing as how they have such strong ties with Microsoft.

    Note that first news on the site starting from dec 2010.

    You can find out that new owners created company Celenia Software 2010.
    Old company went to the bankruptcy procedures.
    It is not rumours.

    So they got new owners, but kept the same name. From the article, they look like they're still in business.

    What impact does this have on your business? :-k

    Bankruptcy <> "Out of business". Bankruptcy is a way for companies to restructure debt. Many companies go thru it and keep right on servicing customers.
    There are no bugs - only undocumented features.

    We have a customer who is using Celenia WebForms.

    The new Celenia doesn't do WebForms anymore, so the customer isn't smiling.

    We have a problem with Webforms and IE9. This can be solved by editing some Celenia objects. Anyone no a solution?

    Will try, thx.

    The new Celenia company have a developer but don't actively support it. Would it be possible to change to permissions on the Celenia objects by adding edit rights, when that company goes bankrupt? Has this happened before?

    Celenia Webforms product is not compatible with new versions of IE or browsers like Chrome or Opera.

    Even if you get access to Celenia's objects, you will not be able make it work for IE 9.

    What needs to be modified is a front-end of their application (which you cannot change, since you do not have source files), not a back-end.

    Somewhere in the objects the webpages are created. That needs to be modified.

    My point is. If the isv is bankrupt can we get access to the source of the object files in NAV?

    I'm quite sure Sergii is right. The Web-form solution has an internal format used between NAV and the frontend component. You need to modify the frontend components to change how the HTML is generated. Why don't you try to use the .NET Reflector on these components?

    Why don't you contact Microsoft? Just create a support incident...

    That's right. The thing that is happening inside NAV is the generation of pages in the xml format. That's it. NAV does not really build pages - just definitions.
