Hi, is it possible to code something in Navision which writes to and reads from an external file?

    Hi

    Use a variable type FILE

    Not sure if I am looking in depth enough, but the functions I see available to me are:

    ERASE, RENAME, COPY, GETSTAMP, SETSTAMP and EXISTS.

    Would this give me the capability to actually write to a designated file like "test.txt" ?

    You need to define a variable as type "File" and use that to read/write.
    Search also the forum. There are a lot of examples to be found.

    look in c/side guide for instream & outstream too.

    The InStream (input stream) and OutStream (output stream) data types are generic stream objects that you can use to read from or write to files and BLOBs.

    Sure..
    Just take a look ove Dataport, Codeunit(you can export/import information in/out of Navision).. and you can communicate with other applications dealing with The Navision Communication Component
    Good Luck :mrgreen:
