Does anyone have Navision 4.0 Hotfix 891518

The hotfix was originally posted here
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=891518

It may also be known as Navision 4.0 Hotfix 4

But It is no longer available.
It is no longer available on https://mbs.microsoft.com
Our solutions provider does not have it; nor does microsoft.

If anyone has the original hotfix archive / executable and could share it - that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome,

I did some research, but didn't find anything on that hotfix, and I have only 4.0 SP1 and 4.0 SP3 in my archive.

From the following post, I understand that the update you seek was applied on 4.0 SP2:
http://www.waldo.be/dynamics-nav/platform-updates/dynamics-nav-3-70-5-0sp1/

I don't think we can find the changes of that particular hotfix and the fixes you must do.
Maybe you could transfer your customer to the "newer" version of 4.0 SP2 or even SP3.

You can get it from:
https://mibuso.com/downloads/microsoft-business-solutions-navision-w1-4.0-sp2

Also, the database/dev. toolkit for 4.0 SP2 is here:

The 4.0 SP3 version can be found here:
https://mibuso.com/downloads/microsoft-dynamics-nav-w1-4.0-sp3

I hope the above to prove useful to you...

Thanks for the assistance. I am mostly interested in the NODBC portion of the hotfix. For some reason we have only an unzipped version of that hotfix; and it does not contain nodbc.dll or its companion files.

We are running a production environment with Navision 4.0 hotfix 1; 60 clients. I am bit hesitant to upgrade to 4.0 SP3 to get a matching driver.

I have searched high and low to find it... No luck...

But, I have found an old article of some1 with the "same" problem.

MS suggested that he would do a technical upgrade (only convert databases to 4.0 SP1 and use the 4.0 SP1 clients and nodbc.dll).

That way, you have the objects from version 4.0 and apps/dlls from 4.0 SP1.
