If we increase the length of a field in a perticular table, how can we find the FOBs related to that Table.

For Ex:
I increased the length of the Customer Name field. i have to change the length in forms, reports and code units also. How can i know which FOBs are related to that Customer table. How can i know the FOBs which uses this Customer Name Field.

    Use Navision Developers Toolkit (On the tool-cd)

    There is a lot of topic concerning this problem. I'm sure you could find them with the Search fct.


    But, one thing : never made this kind of change !!! There are too much implications in all the application ...

    Hej Tanweer,

    You may always increase the length of a Text or Code field. If handling is not changed, then it may cause a string-overflow.


    I would install Navision Developers Toolkit and use it.
    If it's available for you, but you don't know it, then give it a try (I prefer the developers toolkit version 4.0 SP 1 - not to be mistaken by Navision 4.0 SP1!).

    Otherwise I would make a text readout of all objects and search in the text.
    I warn you, this way its a tedious work.
    With Kind Regards

    Changing a standard field's Length is always tricky and lot of modifications is needed. It is always better to give a new field and use the same from the master/transaction table for you reporting/storing in database.
