Shortcut to fin.exe with parameters

rob_keizers · 2005-03-23

Hi!

My shortcut looks like this:

"C:\Program Files\Navision Attain\Client\fin.exe" id=test123 licence=fin.flf database="C:\Program Files\Navision Attain\Client\test123.fdb"

Unfortunately it does not work. No database is opened. How come?

By the way: I am using version 3.01.B.

Use commas between your parameters, like:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision 4.0\fin.exe" servername=localhost:2400,ntauthentication=1,nettype=tcp,company=Cronus

Hi!

What a quick response! Unfortunately the commas don't solve my little problem...

You will need the commas, and then get rid of the "=test123 licence" part in your id parameter. Also, try adding the full path, so that would be "id=c:\TheFolderThatHasYourLicenseFile\fin.flf".

Hi Rob ,
Just put like this in your Target path

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision 3.01\fin.exe" servername=xyz,database=abc .
It will work .After the quotes just give one char space and specify the servername where i have put xyz after that just specify the name of database which is on the server .Even if you dont specify the path of database it will open that database .Just specifying the name will help

Cheers,

hi,

just to roundup:

original:

"C:\Program Files\Navision Attain\Client\fin.exe" id=test123 licence=fin.flf database="C:\Program Files\Navision Attain\Client\test123.fdb"

Adjusted:
"C:\Program Files\Navision Attain\Client\fin.exe" id=test123,database="C:\Program Files\Navision Attain\Client\test123.fdb"

The fin.exe will take the fin.flf that's in the directory where the exe is located.

Regards
