Hello,

I just found out that I can 'Auto refresh' RTC reports. It is located in Visual Studio under the report properties. But when I use this option, the reports starts to refresh after the timeinterval I have set, but after a refresh the whole report is blank. Only real TEXT boxes remain visible in the reports. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone have an answer to this?

Thanks!

    In the Visual Studio Report Designer, if you click Report, and then click Report Properties, in the Report Properties window there is an Autorefresh check box. Typically, setting this check box specifies that when you run the report, the page will refresh at periodic intervals. However, in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009, Autorefresh is not supported. If you enable it, then when the page refreshes it will display an empty preview page.

    Sorry,
    Can't you give an normal answer. Why do you think people ask questions here, because it's not possible to find them elsewhere yet.

    Maybe you could give a me one or more scenarios for when you need to use Autorefresh. We might be able to fix this in our next major version of NAV, but I need to understand how critical this feature is for you guys.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    I created a report that shows every sales line that is not completely shipped in shipping date order. And on every line it shows if the quantity on that line is completely finished and the number of items that is produced. So it would be very nice to let the report refresh itself. If you ship some orders, those sales lines are deleted from the report by the refresh. And if some production orders are finished it updates the number of items that are ready for shipping. And if new orders are entered, those lines will appear on the list... and so on...

    Thanks
