  • E-mail notification to hotfixes and updates

    I am often asked how to keep track of product updates. Now, there is a new feature available on PartnerSource where you can subsribe to RSS feeds. This will give you an email notification every time a new NAV hotfix is released. A hotfix can be either a specific hotfix to a specific problem, or it can be an update.

NAV uses ANSI 160 code character for space, which is not a space in ascii code table (normally used by windows applications). Consequently, decimals larger then 1000 (thus containing a space as digit grouping symbol) will be interpreted as text by excel. This has been corrected in a new style sheet released for this issue...
