    Hi

    Chapter 3 of manual "installation and configuration Nav 5.0"

    DB Read-Only
    Determines that it is impossible to enter any data into the database.

    By entering dbreadonly= in the Command line or the Target field.

    something like

    ...\fin.exe dbreadonly=yes

    bye

    Yes, the newer and more efficient way is to use the command line flag, but I don't think it was around until 5.0. Maybe 4.0, but definitely not 3.7. If it is not available with the version your company is using you should use the Roles/Permissions approach.

    This runtime parameter is there since version 2.x, but never was documented till some new versions... (but if you look into fin.stx, you will find it there..) :whistle:

    Actually you are both wrong 8) , its been there at least since version 3.04 DOS and probably longer but I don't have an earlier version to check. It's always been documented but documented in a different place. In the earlier versions of Navision to get the command line parameters you had to just type a "?" on the command line to get the full list. :whistle:
