Hi! Could you import these 100 new objects into a new/blank database, maybe a CRONUS DB? There you could find out the objects’ ID-Range easily! Regards, Jörg

Hi, You can use Navision Developer Toolkit to do that, just use where used function for the object from 50001…50020

[:D]Why not just do it the easy way [V][?] “How is that” you ask? DELETE all the objects in the 50001…50020 range, then compile all modified objects. The ones with errors are the ones you need to change. Done. OK, its not that easy… there are a couple of things first.

  • Compile all objects first to make sure that the only errors you are introducing are from the objects in you range.
  • Delete the objects in question.
  • Compile all the objects.
  • Filter on Marked only.
  • Copy these objects to Excel so you have a list.
  • Put the objects back so that you can now work.
  • Working from your list, go through and do what you need to do.
  • If there is one that you really can’t find, then you can always delete the objects again, and try to edit the individual object.
    Of course if the client is paying hourly, you may not want to do it the easy way [}:)]
