How to disable logins in Navision

c.kestas · 2006-08-18

Does anybody have any idea on how to disable logins in Navision?

What I'm trying to do is this:
Every morning a batch job runs under NAS and if the job runs into problems I want to stop ordinary users from loging in until the problem is resolved. I have no problem identifying the fact that the job did not finish correctly or distinguishing ordinary from priviledged users. The question is how do I stop a user from loging in. Or perhaps force read-only mode?

I know the answeris in Codeunit 1, function CompanyOpen, but then what? An error there will simply stop the execution of the trigger but the user will log in anyway? I tried deleting the session record of the current user but it wouldn't let me.

Any Ideas?
thanks

Put code that will loop until they are allowed to login. Something like this

REPEAT
  IF CONFIRM('You cannot login, because blah. Do you want to check if you want to get into navision?') THEN
    EXIT;
UNTIL allowedToLogin;

allowedToLogin would be a function that will check a table for your criteria and return a true or false.

You could try to use SendKeys to simulate some keystrokes to exit Navision. Have a look at this thread: Terminating Navision

If you are using Nav DB logins, you could try temporary setting "Expiration Date" to the past in "User" table.

Thanks guys.

The SendKeys worked beautifully. The expiry date is also a good idea.
