Changing the default location of data export

asmilie2b · 2007-12-28

We use only non administrator accounts for our NAV users. Inside Navision when doing a data export, it always defaults to c:\ for the export location, and of course without administrator rights it can't be saved there. This means the cumbersome (for non savy users) of needing to copy and paste another folder location in. Then even trying to rexport straight away, it reverts to
Is it possible to change the location that Navision exports to permanently?

Dataport -> Property -> FileName

Pruday,

Many thanks for the reply. Do you mean from within the actual dataport itself? I don't see any properties there. Of course there is the filename and browse function, however that is what doesn't remember the last saved location.

You will have to go into Design the DP to set the property.

Hi,

Go to the object designer, open your dataport in design mode and then place the cursor under the last DataItem (empty dataitem) and put the the filename in the FileName property.

i.e.: C:\my folder\myfilename.txt

Success.

I realize that it is actually a report, not dataport that I need to change the saving location of.
I tried the same process for reports, but FileName is not something in the table list.
Would if anyone have any advice ?

view the code of the report - if it's exporting data to a file it must be declared somewhere.

something like
ThisFIle.TEXTMODE(FALSE);
ThisFile.CREATE('c:\Hi_MOM.txt');
ThisFile.CREATEOUTSTREAM(Stream);

Many thanks for that.
