I'll be the first to admit that I am not a programmer/developer, but I do realize that I need to learn Visual Studio to be able to modify reports in NAV2013. I'm a former GP user, used to using its native report writer, so jumping to VS is quite a leap for me.
Can anyone suggest a good online course to learn VS? Preferably a class that's focused on the specifics of NAV.

P.S. Preferably free! I'm cheap too!!! :D

Thanks

    I don't have a tool for you but I would suggest the following; Take a modified Sales Invoice or Sales Quote for an existing customer and try to recreate/modify it in VS. You will learn a lot. :wink: And it will cost you lots of time. :(
    But there are advantages to develop in VS. Have fun!

    I agree with tinoruijs ... I was in the same boat as you and took me over 16hrs for my first report but after doing them and learning, I can bang out a fully customizable report in a few hours now. Just take one and try to recreate/modify it in VS just like tinoruijs said

    If you have access to training materials on PartnerSource or CustomerSource, then download the Reports training manual for NAV 2013.
    It will lead you through many sample reports.
    I found it very helpful.
