Can anyone help?? I need to find out which windows automation controller can be used from Navision 4.00 to simply print a document externally from navision. Basically i need to mimic right clicking on a document and clicking print. Regards
COuld you be a little bit more clear? I think what you need it to look at the add on from expandit, but I am not quite sure what you are trying to achieve.
I am storing various file types as BLOBs in a Navision Database - I want to add a function where a user can select the file in a table - then click on print. In the background i will export the BLOB to a directory then use the unknown automation controller to print this new created file. Currently I can view the files using hyperlink but i need to be able to print without viewing… Thought that there may be a DOS switch I could use with a shell command but I cannot find one Regards
Ah gotcha. Better than doing it youself, take a look at this add-on … www.matriks.com I think it does what you want, and will be a lot cheaper than doing it yourself. PS I recomend this Add-On to every Navision user.
Thanks for the response David, What my system lets me do is to store ANY document type(upto the maximum BLOB size) against any record in selected tables not just word documents like Matriks. The only thing left to do on it is to add the print functionality…So if anyone has an answer for my original question that would be great… Regards
Matiks will handle any document type. they just use word as an example. version 2 had a dll that lanuched the applications, verison 3 does it all though C/Side code. I am pretty sure you will find that it does what you want.
