Error - Cannot create more than one clustered index on table

This post describes one scenario in which this error occurs. There may be others. In the late 4.0 versions of the NAV executables, all tables in NAV had a clustered index created on SQL for the primary key (Index 0). However, the table objects in 4.0 versions did not have the Clustered property set on any of the keys. It was also possible on 4.0 to toggle that property (on/off) and NAV would allow you to leave the table with none of the keys flagged as clustered, but the primary index on SQL remained...

With the release of 5.0 SP1, a new data type conversion routine was introduced with codeunit 5302 - Outlook Synch. Type Conversion. There are several known issues with data conversion due to these changes...

E-mail logging and The call to member Logon failed. Collaboration Data Objects returned following message: [Collaboration Data Objects - [MAPI_E_LOGON_FAILED(80040111)]]

In 90% of the E-mail logging errors I personally dealt with, the logon error is the most common error being filed by partner followed by The call to member Sender Failed.

Outlook Add-in does not show up in Dynamics NAV 5.0, Dynamics NAV 5.0 SP1 and Dynamics NAV 2009

Sometimes it happens that after a reinstallation of the Outlook Add-in, the actual toolbar does not appear in Outlook. The toolbar can however be seen as a separate toolbar under View / Toolbars. The actual cause is that previous Outlook Add-ins were still active previous to the reinstallation. To resolve the issue, do the following: 1. within Outlook, select Tools in the menu 2. select Trust Center 3. select Add-ins 4. select Apply macro security settings to installed add-ins 5. verify that COM...
