A Form at Login

roshandilruk

Hi,

I hope you guys could help me with this.

You know in the early versions of Nav they had an option under, General Ledger->Set up---->Users ----> User Setup, and then you set a form as the Main-Menu. So when specific users log in they would directly see only that form.

I’m working on an upgrade and I need exactly the same thing in Nav 2009 classic. Some users should only see a particular form when they log in. I don’t want them to see the navigation pain at all. However in Nav 2009 they have removed this facility.

Does anyone know how to setup a form at the login in Nav 2009 Classic ?

Appreciate your help

Cheers

Unassign the user from all Navigation Pane Menus and give him/her just a shortcut to that form.

Hi einsTeIn.NET,

I tried what you have mentioned as it sounds like a great solution to this. However, I couldn't find a way of doing this. Would you mind explain a bit ?

Thanks

Hi Mark,

Thanks a million for you advice. I have tried this and it works perfect. It’s kind of what I wanted. The idea is that to prompt a form based on the User ID. I have two common Users , one is CASHIER and the other is MANAGER. The only problem is, I could get the logged user ID from the Session Table, but when I compare the value with the user id it doesn’t read that code.

This Works, I could see the user id on the message

lrecSession.SETRANGE("My Session", TRUE);
IF lrecSession.FINDFIRST THEN BEGIN
UID :=lrecSession."User ID";
MESSAGE('%1',UID);

But the below doesn’t work

IF UID = 'CASHIER' THEN
FORM.RUN(FORM::"Cashier Form");

For some reason I can get the UID variable to validate eventhough it works with the message function. Any clue?

Cheers

Maybe an uppercase/lowercase issue?

Hi Mark,

It's really strange that I have converted both parameters to uppercase thinking the same. Then I have hardcoded just to see how this was happening. However, nothing works and it seems this may not work on the Application mgt. CU.

Thanks
