Run table from code without object designer

A customer wants to run the table directly to get at the raw data.

But without the rights to object designer.

Possible?

    yes. He can click on Start->Run and type the Dynamicsnav:////runpage?page=nn

    You have to create a page for the table.

    That doesn't account for any additional columns added to the table though and adds an overheard of maintaing?

    Why not do:
    dynamicsnav://[server]:[port]/[instance]//runtable?table=[tableNo]
    

    Or does that require Object Designer permissions? If it does, ara3n's answer is correct.

    For the classic client, you need access to the object designer. But you can give him only execute rights on the objects (table,form,report,...) and read access to the tabledata.
    Otherwise:create a form and put all fields on it (and make the form NON-editable)

    Sometimes we are using excel to view NAV data(SQL Server). Connect NAV Table on SQL Server as "Other data source" from MS Excel.
