David Singleton's Navision Blog:
From Navision to NAV
David Singleton
Earlier this year I gave and MVP presentation, the topic was discussing the journey from Navision to NAV from the perspective of me as an MVP. It was fun, but there wasn't enough time, so I now plan to expand on that as a blog series. In fact most of…

The most powerful tool that a Dynamics NAV consultant can use.
David Singleton
So you are planning to become a Navision consultant. You are going to show people how to use Navision, how to run their business, and more importantly how to make their business run better. Of course you already know that NAV application from start…

What if Homer Simpson became a Navision consultant?
David Singleton
The Homer At first look, this sounds like a rather bizarre proposition that Homer would be a Navision consultant, yet in reality most new consultants that join the world of Dynamics NAV think exactly like Homer. ;) Take a look at the…

Get Rich Quick With Dynamics
David Singleton
I got hit by my first 419 scam back in 1990, via fax. In those days it was still relatively new, so I made an effort to find why someone wanted me to share 25% of their 50 million. Without Google, it was quite a task to find out what it was all…

Increasing field lengths in Navision
David Singleton
One of the very first things that most new developers try to do when they start with Navision development is to increase the lengths of certain fields. Typically Item Description or Customer Name and Address fields. Those that have been in Navision development…

Windows Live Writer

I just read Erik’s Blog about Windows Live Writer . After Googling it, I found that I actually already have it installed on my computer. Just playing with it, it does look good. So far comparing to Word I would say the biggest issue I see is that content…

Why I don’t want my clients to use SANs for Dynamics NAV (Navision)
David Singleton
I am sure I am not the only person that has had to argue with a client as to how hardware needs to be configured in a Dynamics NAV environment. Typically bigger companies with larger internal IT support generally have their way of doing things, and its…

Select * FROM and how to do it better in NAV
David Singleton
Some background I met with Mark in Barcelona some time back at Tech Ed. We had both just been to a SQL (not NAV related) session, and it opened both our eyes at that moment as to why the Select * in NAV is so bad. I did my first NAV performance…

If it takes one person 10 days to dig a ditch, how long does it take 10 people to dig the same ditch?
David Singleton
A simple question from primary school math class. If your answer was "one day" then you are wrong, if you said 10 days you are probably also wrong. If you said 5 you are getting warmer. My first job after University was working on a Gold Mine. I…

Should I move my move Dynamics NAV Server from C/SIDE to SQL

Should I move my move Dynamics NAV Server from C/SIDE to SQL It used to be quite rare for an NSC so suggest that their client go-live on SQL. SQL has always had its own issues, mainly performance and cost. In the past the major drive for SQL has…

Which RSS aggregator do you use to read Dynamics NAV blogs?

Well I know its not an exciting Blog topic, and probably really belongs in the Forums as its not a true Blog as such, but putting it here as well, means that the people using RSS to read Blogs will most likely see this. I think I need to change my RSS…
