Hi,

Sometime we use the "send link to eMail or Desktop"- Hyperlink Feature.
Sometime the doubleclick start Navision 3.60, sometime Navision 4.0.....
I want anytime start (as example) Navision 3.60.
Where can i do this?

Hi, I too faced the same problem initially. Not sure, but it could be the zup file or installation.... Just sharing how I get over it.

Now, I have several 'icons' identifying different versions on my desktop. Incidentally the various versions are installed on separate folders. I just click the correct icon to start the required version.
The thing I did is that I created the icons before installing the next version.

One thing to note is that the last database used is saved. Just need to exercise a bit of caution should there be a need to 'preserve' the original version or it might be converted accidentally to the higher version.

If you point your shortcuts to the right executables, you will notice that the icons for different versions are different as well. You can add parameters for separate zup files into your target. Read the installation guide for more details.

Navision hyperlinks are opened with finhlink.exe. If you look for it in your registry, you can see the path, from whitch is runned... match it with path for version you want to start through hyperlinks....

(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Navision\shell\open\command)
