Zup File

See parameter ID in installation and administration documentation...

if you use runtime parameter ID=<path\name> when starting fin.exe or finsql.exe, the zup file will be saved as <path\name>.zup

Hi,
Target is supported from the beginning of the time.
If target is disabled on your machine, maybe, you can try to make new shortcut. Just click newShortcut, then find Fin.exe and add ID=something.
In the field "Type the location of the item" will be text like this:
"C:\Program Files\Navision\Navision 3.70\Client\fin.exe" ID=Nav

My favorite way to set up the ID variable is to set it to:

ID=%APPDATA%\fin.zup

This will be expanded to the user's "Application Data" folder. For example:

C:\Documents and Settings\UserNameHere\Application Data\fin.zup

Users have full access rights to their Application Data folder. There is a similar folder for All Users, however, limited users cannot delete files in that folders, because other users might need these files. Limited users could create, read, write to files in that folder, but they cannot delete them. This might cause Navision to show an access denied message if the user tried to replace the ZUP file.

If you like to keep all ZUP files in the same folder so you could easily delete them, make a new folder in the drive and make sure that you change the permissions so all users have full access to the folder. Set the ID variable as suggested by others in this topic.

Can you help me.

thanks.

This is what you can do,

You can change their respective target paths to the shortcuts so that they look like this.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision\Client\finsql.exe" id=%userprofile%\My Documents\Nav400\fin.zup

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision\Client\finsql.exe" id=%userprofile%\My Documents\Nav260\fin.zup


You can also create a backup of your zup file then as well, by making a copy of it and renaming it and then if you ever need to, then you can always overwrite the corrupt zup file. This can be a useful tip once and a while.

Just double check the paths, and make sure that they work for you and you should be fine.

Hope that helps,

Kevin

you do not need to enter the .zup extention it is added automatically
