  1. What version is your NAV? if it is 5.01(5 SP1) or higher, try to get more info about ‘Mobile’ granule(Administration->Application Setup->Mobile).

  2. or open form you want in NAV, then goto File>Send>Link to Desktop, it will create shortcut in desktop with specific command line, use that command line in your batch files or just use that shortcut… you can change that cmd line to open any NAV form and select any record on that form.

Kami, were you successful in opening your form from a command line. I am trying to do the same with a NAV 3.60 customer I have.

Any information will greatly be appreciated.

This is a two step process:

The first step is to configure NAV to use your custom form as its “startup form”. if you are using a version prior to the MenuSuite then this is just a matter of defining the “Main Menu” in User Setup as your form. If this is a newer version then you will need to modify Codeunit 1 to start your form instead of the MenuSuite.

The second step is to configure Remote Desktop (Terminal Services) to run NAV as its startup program.
