I think the best way to do it is using NAS and windows message queuing.

But How to do it? Actuasly i want to have graphical representation of grant-chat & all. So i am using MS Project. Can you tell me how to do it? In application Developer Guide we have example of MS Word & Excel. But What about MS Project?

well, i can only help you with the navision side. I never tried to integrate the 2 applications so i dont know how to configure MS project.
But in general NAS is the best way to integrate navision with external applications.

MS Project has some good automation libraries where you can control the whole application with C/Al code.

There however problems with long triggernames navision is unable to handle. Have a search on this forum and you will find some sollutions for that.

It goes a little far to explain all of MS project automation here as these libraries are large. I think MSDN can help you find what you need.

A good start will be declaring a variable of type
'Microsoft Project 11.0 Object Library'.Application

(or change 11.0 depending on the version of MS project that is installed).

I don't think you will get anywhere with NAS in this case.

Though if you are not into automation this may be a difficult project. If you can find someone with for example visual basic (or any 4GL language) knowledge those people are know with these kind of libraries and they may be able to help you.

When someone tell's me about integrating 2 applications i think of a 2 way connection, e.g: doing something in project will automatically reflect in navision. That can only be done with NAS.

But if automation resolves your problems go for it. It's a lot easier.

I tried the automation & now navision can send data to MS Project.
But under Project automation server, there are a lot of classes listed. is there any help that will tell me which class is for what kind of a operation or to perform a certain type of operation which class i have to use.

How can i use Navision Application Server?

I believe MS project has help as well, look in the MS project installation folders for any help files.

Currently i dont have MS project installed so i cant have a look.

I will try it
