Problem with Create Page Walkthrough

I have just tried creating a page for the first time, using the walkthrough "Creating a Customer Card Page in Page Designer" in the online help. I have compiled and saved it as page object number 55000.

When I try to execute the page from the command line using "Dynamicsnav:////runpage?page=55000" it launches RTC but then displays the message :

"The Object Metadata does not exist. Identification fields and values : Object Type = 'Page', Object ID = '55000'"

If I use the same command line instruction with a page number from the standard system, e.g page 21 'Customer Card', it works ok.

What might be wrong with my walkthrough page ?

    Have you enabled the property in the database with name "Enable for Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server"? Did you tried to recompile the object?

    Sorry Kamil, I have searched for the property you described.

    No that's the SQL Server database property page. You're looking for File, Database, Alter from the NAV Classic Client for SQL Server.

    Thank you Kamil and Daniel

    This interests me a bit, because if this option is not already turned on in the database, then there are no entries in the Object Metadata table which means that running any page would fail. The idea of this option is simply to save on the generation steps, and storage, for Object Metadata records for the NAV Server - if you are not intending to use a NAV Server. So I am a little confused why it should have worked. But, hey, congrats!

    Dean, the problem wasnt to do with the ""Enable for Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server" property. To spare you any further confusion I will confess my error ...

    I had used the NAV Classic Client (native database, not the SQL one) to create the new page :oops:

    OK, that explains it - thanks for clarifying.

    This looks like a spam message to me. In any case I will state the solution to my problem clearly.

    Make sure you are using the 'Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 Classic with Microsoft SQL Server' option (not the one for the 'native' database) when designing your page.
