As I explain in my book with test example 8 in chapter 8, the testability framework – or actually the test toolkit – does not provide for layout testing, only dataset testing. Those who bought both the 1st and 2nd edition of my book might have noticed that the verification…
Those who have already acquired my book and started to read might have discovered that there is a GitHub repo accompanying the book. They also might have seen that a number of out-scoped issues have been already listed. Issues I was going to handle after the book would be published….
Last weekend I spent time to get things working on my Azure machine for the fourth week of the Junior Developer Training. A five week course I am running since last fall for Dynamics 365 Training Ltd. in the UK. While compiling the code of our example application I ran in…
Those who have been working with the Word layout Reporting feature might have heard of the Word add-in called Jet Express for Word. The essence of this add-in is that “… your fields appear in clear text and the search feature makes it quick to add the fields you need“,…
Being a Word user from way back 1987 I felt immediately at home when the NAV Core Team did present us MVPs already months ago the Document Reporting feature. I think it’s really a great feature. Indeed it has it’s restrictions, but it’s so easy to use, which is exactly…

As Mark started to set the pace, I am following up on this with my list of small enhancements that could easily be picked up in the next release. Let’s clean up NAV from obsolete remnants. I just call this post #1 even though I am totally unaware how many…
Last week performing a NAV 2013 update training, I was confronted with the above message when opening the layout from C/SIDE in Visual Studio 2013. “Ouch”, I thought, “apparently trusting too much on my installation to work well. Should have checked.” Surely after my laptop re-install some weeks ago. [^o)] “OK,…
Having troubles getting dates matched on hybrid reports (needing to run both on CC and RTC)? Well we did, or actually 1ClickFactory developers did when converting a bunch of our reports. On this matter they recently posted this tip that might be of help to you too: Matching Date Formats…
Oh gosh, what’s in a name? Yesterday I wanted to see what information the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 Developer and IT Pro Documentation exactly contained about transforming reports for RTC, but could not find it as I was looking for transform/transformation/transforming. I even used the cside.chm file to search on these keywords…
