Dynamics Nav 2009 upgrade change company problem

Hi
The company I work for has finally decided to upgrade our Dynamics Nav, currently we are at 2009R2 runtime with 5.0 (SP1) objects.

We have many custom reports and I would like to know how many are actually used.

I read that you could create a function (OnReportRun ID = 120) in codeunit 1 and this function would be triggeret every time a user runs a report.

In order for this to work I had to upgrade the client runtime from version 6.00.32012 to 6.00.32519, I did that in a test enviroment and everything work's fine and afterwards you can even open with the old runtime.

Yesterday I let 2 users use the new runtime all day, with no problems and I got the report usage information.

The only problem is when the users change company (we have a lot of companies in our database) they have to press F12 before they can press ENTER to open the same window, within the old version they could just press ENTER .

An example

With the old build the user could open form 16 from the navigation pane, change company with CTRL+O and then just press ENTER to open form 16 in then new company.

With the new build the user has to press F12 before ENTER to open the same form in the new company.

I tried to download the latest servicepack and the problem is still there.

Is there a solution to this or do we just have to live with it ?

    I don't have experience with 32519. But I have found 34463 to be stable, the only problem is that it does need a database upgrade, so you would not be able to use 32012 client with the database once converted.

    Hi David

    Thank you for your reply.

    It seems to me that the database upgrade is only necessary when you are upgrading from 2009R1 to 2009R2, do you agree?

    Right now I have a test environment where I can open Nav with these 4 versions 32012,32519,34463 and 35711.

    The only version that supports the change company functionality is our current version but it can't log the report use with this version.

    BR
