Hi, We are in the process of Devlopment for a Client who wants to have their Global Dimensions (e.g. Depmnt. & Proj.) default according to which Machine they are using. I thought perhaps a way to do this was to use the ENVIRON(Name) method within Navision to look up a constant registry variable, and match against a Navision table. However, to compound the problem, the machines they are using are just dumb terminals using Terminal services (and they don’t have access to registry’s on these terminals - though I am told it is possible) Does anyone know if the ENVIRON variable will access the right registry data? Or does anyone have any other suggestions for finding what machine Navision is working on from within Navision? (They do have fixed machine-names and IP addresses but I don’t know how to access them from within Navision) Thanks, Nikolai L’Estrange Developer Ernst & Young New Zealand
I have been faced with the same problem with one of my clients. One way of accessing the IP-Address is by using the “ipconfig” command, parse the result to a text file, and then read the information in this file. Another way is to put a file on the local computer (the dumb terminal) , and read this file “\Client\c$\findef.txt” None of these suggestion however would be considered very clean programming. Any other suggestions??
