Yo! :D

I'm using the "REPORT.RUN(Number [, ReqWindow] [, SystemPrinter] [, Record])" with false,false but since the NAS dont know the real user it doesnt work. What can be done?

    NAS knows the real user, it is the user account under which the service is running... ;-)

    Very funny Kamil!

    After next icehockey game, I'll be the one laughing ... :)

    To be a bit clearer, I'm looking for a "REPORT.RUN(Number, False, MyOwnPrinter, Record)" where MyOwnPrinter is a variable sett by me.

    I still do not undersand your problem. If you use that, NAS will look into Printer Selection table and will select the correct printer if set there for the combination of User and Report. To be able to select correct printer you need to set it for the reort and for the User under which the NAS is running.

    Ok!

    Our NAS is logged on as an Admin. Then, I have one user (PDA) in Bratislava, one in Brno and one in Tokyo and they surely [-X dont want their prints on the same printer. NAS 8) beleive they are all Admin.

    :idea: A very ugly way is to let each user have their own reportnumber which then can be directed with "REPORT.RUN(Number [, ReqWindow] [, SystemPrinter] [, Record])". How ugly would you rate that one :?:

    You can use singleinstance codeunit and modification of the FindPrinter function in CU1 to take the UserID not from the system variable but from the singleinstance codeunit (just for the NAS), which will be set to value you have got from the PDA (to transfer the "PDA_UserID" between your codeunit and the CU1).

    E.g. on Mibuso... ;-) I recommend the HowTo's sections for articles about communication between objects...
