Below are some helpful hints for Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Please read them and put them to good use!
1. It's not advisable to enlarge the general ledger account name field, as you'll have to make numerous changes in other objects as well. Your best bet is to use extended texts, to store the extra description of your general ledger account. Or you could add a new field "full description" to the table and make this length 50. But then again you might need to modify other objects, if you want to see this field on forms or reports.
2. There is a limit in creating NAV fields, not so much in number of fields but in record size. This is all described in the application designer guide, which is in the folder called 'doc' on the product disk. The file is called w1w1adg.pdf, and contains all technical information about C/SIDE.
3. To backup your computer automatically, follow these instructions: Use the supplied "hotcopy.exe" on the server. See w1w1bkup.pdf in the \Docs folder of the Dynamics NAV product DVD (chapter 1.5 Server Based Backup on the C/SIDE Database Server for Microsoft Dynamics NAV) for info how to use this program. Use some C/AL code to execute the NAV client backup program automatically (which generates a fbk-file). If you are running NAV on SQL server, you can go ahead and use the SQL backup tools.
4. You can copy a Sales Quote document using Functions -> Copy Document... on the Sales Quote form. Select "Quote" as Document Type, and the Document No. you want to copy.
