How to run a Table from the Navision windows client (Not the Development Environment)

Here is a small tip (some of you might already know it): the GETURL together with the HYPERLINK can be used to run objects in Navision (Even Tables 🙂).

I am working on a tool for a function to view the data in the tables, and for this I needed a way to run a table from the Navision windows client (Not the Development Environment). This turned out to be quite easy using the GETURL and HYPERLINK functions.

Here is an example of how it can be applied;

Given below record will consist of a list of tables where a user can check Records for the tables where all data is counted. To assist the user in determining what exactly is the data in a particular record we created a function to run the table to show the data will be in the ribbon of the page. The function will run the table of the line that is highlighted based on the Table ID field.

The code for this is as follows.

The GETURL is used to build the link to the table and the HYPERLINK is used to open the link.


Now when the user clicks View Records Dynamics NAV will open the table and show all records just like if the table was run from the Object Designer (Development Environment)

Nice isn’t it!? 🙂
