Hello,

Does anybody know a way to import a file in Navision without opening a navision client. This import needs to be done at one of our clients every night at 01:00 AM.

The client hasn't got the sql-server.

If anyone can help me out with this I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
Chris.

    Without client you only can use C/Front or C/ODBC for connect to your Navision DB server (you must have granule for C/Front or C/ODBC). You must use some external program to import this file into DB. C/Front and C/ODBC you can use from Visual Basic, Visual studio, Borland Delphi or Builder etc.

    sure there is a way.

    Program an application that can import a file without a gui. So use a codeunit for that instead of a dataport or a report.

    Then call that codeunit from a NAS (Navision Application Server) You can even start the dataport every day at 1:00 AM, if you would like to do that... What? That is exactly what you want? Well ins't that nice!
