hi Dynamics specialists! I hope to be lucky and find someone here who still has knowledge of this old version.

we need to programmatically extract data from this old fdb-database (only read) and I found many hints on the forum on using NODBC for this, but when I look at licensing information it doesn’t say ODBC.

then I contacted the company who provided this Navision and they said they do not offer ODBC. I tried to get better information, but they old said I could maybe get it from Microsoft. I do not really understand what they mean, but communication on the topic doesn’t go nowhere it seems. maybe it’s too old technology for them?

can i still do something to get read access?
