Hello

I have a problem with ZUP files. I would like to create such file which would keep all settings and then use it on the other databases - is there such possibility? I know there is possibility to create zup per user related to one database.

Best regards

    Thank you for reply. Maybe you have other ideas how to save such settings in way that zup does?

    You can use the same zup-file to connect to different databases.
    Of course, if you have in the zup file the sales order that was open in database 1, and then you use the zup-file on database 2, this value will be overwritten. If you want to keep BOTH values then this is NOT possible.

    This may or may not be what you want. I usually set up a series of shortcuts for each company with the following command line (for sql):

    "%programFiles%\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\CSIDE Client\finsql.exe" ID=%appData%\Cronus.zup, Database=Cronus, Servername=server\mssql2k, Company=CRONUS Ltd, ntauthentication=1, Nettype=TCP

    Notice the parameter ID=%appData%\Cronus.zup
    This specifies that I want to use cronus.zup located in the %appdata% directory. This means you can share a shortcut file on a server directory but that each users zup file will be stored in their personal profile.

    If you want to use a single zup file to open multiple companies then you only have to point each shortcut at the same file.

    This doesn't solve the problem of having the zup file multiple times. You make a change in each but only the last to exit is saved.

    Regards
