can someone tell me how to start navision using parameters within an url (link) for example:
"file:d:/programm/navision/201/fin.exe?&id=c:/toto.zup &database=//server/databaseName.fdb?temppath=%temp%"

the link works but the param aren't considered. :?

    Hi,

    To find out which parameters to use, open a form in your Navision application and select Send|Shortcut to Desktop from the File menu. Modify the parameters as required.
    Kind regards,

    1° navision financials don't accept ->"link to desktop"
    2° The created link start your latest installed Navision client, you cannot choose which fin.exe you should start.

    :shock:
    Example:
    c:\201Fr\fin.exe
    c:\201Ger\fin.exe
    c:\260Ger\fin.exe
    c:\Attain\fin.exe

    d:\custDb\toto.fdb -> 201FR
    d:\custDb\titi.fdb -> 201GER
    d:\custDb\tata.fdb -> 206GER
    d:\custDb\Notyou.fdb ->360

    I want to start the client like this:
    d:\201FR\fin.exe database=d:\custDb\toto.fdb
    in a link (url) format like
    file:c:/201Fr/fin.exe?database=d:/custDb/toto.fdb&id=c:/201.zup

    But like previously explained:the parameters aren't considered.
    :cry:
    Thanx for having headache with this problem.

    Hi!

    It's possible to create a .zup file for the DBs. In this file you can specify everything. You can copy -or link- them to the desktop. The structure of the .zup file is in the Navision documentation.
