I’m upgrading a database from 2009 to 2016. In that process I first convert the database to 2013 format so I can export and import fob files in 2016 (which isn’t possible directly from 2009).

Log your changes
From time to time we get into the situation where we need to run a batch report to update data in NAV. It’s always nice to log changes and there’s an easy way to do it by calling the standard Change Log functionality. This example blocks all Norwegian customers and writes the changes to the […]
Find the function code
Did you know that since NAV2013 you can press F9 in the list of functions and the C/AL Editor will position on that function and nNot on the trigger code of the field in the field list as before. I didn’t know that…. Now we both know 🙂
Fixing the logo size
When you’re working with images in RDLC reports you often need to create images in a fixed size that matches the image box in you report definition.

Speeding up Step 2 in NAV upgrades
When upgrading NAV time is often a critical factor. especially when the database is big, has many companies and users. Running the data conversion can take several hours or days and meanwhile the business stands still. One change in version 2013 from previous versions is that User ID includes the domain name.

Bye bye Ansi2Ascii (and welcome unicode)
Until NAV2013 I think I’ve used ANSI/ASCII conversion in pretty much every project, and Unicode has been a no-no. From NAV2013 we can use .Net to take care of conversions. In this example I support DOS-PC8, Codepage 1252 and UTF-8 when importing a textfile. The format is specified using an option field in a setup […]
