Hello all
First of all i'm french, so sorry for my bad english.

I start developping in navision, and i would like to show on form
for company 1 field 1
for company 2 field 2


actualy i use this:
IF STRPOS(COMPANYNAME,'comp1') > 0 THEN BEGIN
      CurrForm."field1".VISIBLE := TRUE;
      CurrForm."field2".VISIBLE := FALSE;
IF STRPOS(COMPANYNAME,'comp1') > 0 THEN BEGIN
      CurrForm."field1".VISIBLE := FALSE;
      CurrForm."field2".VISIBLE := TRUE;
](*,)


It is quiet heavy to past it in each form

So i wonder if there is a methode (using table, fonction, codeunit ...) to do this more cleanly [-o<

    you can pass table via RecordRef type variable but there is no analogous type for forms (could be named FormRef or something like that)

    So using RecordRef variables you could make fields non editable via undelying table's fields ENABLED property. Unfortunately table fields have no VISIBLE property

    A friend tel me to create un field in table Company Information
    and when i read this record in my form i put my condition.

    An other solution is to create a new table which contain company and field to show. So when i open form and read this table I test if this field exist and so I steal read in the table if i show it or not

    yes you can do either way but i thought your problem is - you do not want to copy-paste the same code into each form and instead you want to put a function in some codeunit and call it from all forms... There is no way to do the latter - i mean you cannot manage form's columns in a separate codeunit because there is no way to pass a form to codeunit's function.

    However i find the requirement to be very strange - why the view is dependent on a company selected ? It is mopre common when view is dependent on user and/or its role - for example company managers can see more or different information than accountants or sales persons and so on...

    You need to explain WHAT you are trying to achieve, not HOW you want to achieve it.

    I meant what is the business requirement: What are fields C1 and C2 why do they need different fields for different companies?

    Is just needing to show a field or need also to input data in a field?
    Do they really need ot use two different fields or could they use the same field for both companies?
    If it's just displaying data, you can create a function that returns the value based on the company you are on, then just display that function.
