In order to develop add-on solutions a signed ISV Developer Registration Agreement and corresponding Add-on Addendum is required followed by a registration of the add-on module and objects. The ISV Developer Registration Agreement will be made available via MSDN later this year and requires a Premium subscription to access. The Add-on Addendum will be made available as well. Add-on products can be industry-specific products, business process functionality or products that in some way supplement the functionality offered in Microsoft Dynamics Entrepreneur.

Second I need to understand what exactly it is that you’re trying to do.
In the world of Navision then an add-on is a “standard” module created by an ISV (independent software vendor). Add-ons are usually divided into either horizontal or vertical solution, depending on which type of “problem” the add-on is solving in Navision.
Typical add-ons are directed to specific industries (examples: retail, property or facility services etc.) or toward specific problems (examples: banking integration, document management, collection management etc.).
Reading your question, then I’m not quite sure if this is exactly what you’re looking for. If you are going create some specific changes to a customer (or your employer) then we do not call it an add-on, then it’s just called customizations.
Adam is right. Microsoft have a program specifically for companies developing Navision add-ons. But if you work for a partner, then it’s not required that you use this program, as it can be quite expensive to live up to (in terms of deadlines for new versions etc). My guess is that only 1 of 10 add-ons existing to Navision is under this program.
Let’s know exactly what it is you’re trying to do. Maybe such an add-on already exists.
Do you work for a partner? If you do they will have access to Partnersource, here there are training sections and all of the Microsoft e-learning, manuals etc. You really need access to this. I would also recommend you go on one of the accredited NAV training courses, by doing this you also get the material as a hard copy, each region has different solutions, but if you go to Microsoft they can tell you what to do.
thank you again for your reply and for a time and support you gived me. i’m .net developer and i’m very interested in Nav because i work on project (integration an application made in VB.net with Nav ) . i have to finish the application and now i’m discovering this product that i find it very cool but not easy to understand.
i must hard work on it for a few months because i’m preparing to get certified, but for now i’m very far
