Hello everybody,

I've created a shortcut menu and now, I'd like to apply it to the other users..

I know I need to work with the zup files, but I don't know how..
I've read some topics related to that problem on this forum, but nothing helped me 8-[

Thank you for your attention

    The shortcuts in the navigation pane aren't stored in the zup file.
    Navision saves them in the table 2000000061 User Menu Level as 
    ID     ID Type    Level          Object   Modified
BOBY   Database   User Changes   *        07.06.05 10:44
    where BOBY is the User ID.
    In this record you can see a BLOB field.
    This BLOB field contains something like a personal Menu Suite Level which stores the shortcuts and the informations which Menus, Folders and Menu Items has been set hidden by the user himself.
    There is also a record whithout an user id. This will be valid to all users. So simply setup your preferences and then change the user id of your record to (empty).
    (I've not tried this, so I can't guarantee that this works, but it should.)

    Also great help when switching from database to windows ids, so shortcuts not lost. Simply delete the windows files from the table and rename the database id and id type fields with the windows id and windows type.

    Saved me from unhappy end users.

    Thanks!

    But it doesn´t work if i want to copy shortcut configuration from a user to another user.
    If a copy blob field (*) from one user to another user, the second user doesn´t have the same shortcut configuration.
    Any idea?

    The "destination" user has to close the navigation pane and reopen it (Alt+F1) to see the new shortcuts.
    If that doesn't work, the user should log off, then copy the entry and after that, he could relogon.
