Hi all,
My client have a requirement. He want to do an automatic email to the customer at the end of day to inform about the invoices created over the day at the end of the day (Lets Say 5 pm). I think i have to do scheduling for this task, is there any scheduling feature available in NAV? I am completely new about this task. Please help

Regards,
Tularam

Yes, search for Navision Application Server

I was asking for automatic sending email based on time not on the event. Lets say it automatically sends the information of created invoices over whole day and sends by email (lets say at 6 pm ) everyday. I can prepare email sending but donot know how to handle time?

Yes but not found exactly what i want. I want it just on time not on button click or user event

You should have look on Nav Application server (as mohana's suggest) with this you don't need to click anywhere.

It will automatically execute the object on sechdule time which you have defined to run. take a look at this.

Is there any other way for it?
If i have to do that on Ontimer trigger of a form is there any way to open form in background?

You would required to open a session having open to that form where you have put your code(ontimer trigger of form) to send mail.

You can't open that form in background.

Since this post is in the multi tier forum, I am going to assume you are running NAV 2009 and SQL Server.
This gives you the Classic option of running the job queue via NAS which schedules tasks.
You can use web services using Windows to schedule tasks.
You can use SQL Server agents to schedule SQL Server tasks which includes mail functions and of course the use of SQL to query data.

The other option you seem to like is keeping a form running continuously using a timer - seems a little primitive to me, but should work as long as the form stays up.

Howdy, Stranger!
