Hi Everybody;

I need to create outlook-like reminders in Navision but without using outlook. Is it possible?

    You could use a timer and periodically check for messages to be displayed.

    Could you provide me with some details about this timer since I must admit that I have never heard about it

    You have an automation component called 'Navision Timer 1.0'.Timer.
    With that component you can execute functions that execute periodically. Check for example codeunit 7901.

    A timer in a singleinstance codeunit which you start when logging in into a company.

    Don't set the frequency too often, because every check is a database call... .
