Today I made some statistics about NAV 5.00SP1 tables. I know that the stats have no purpose, but you can see on them how complex the system is. It can help to someone, who just want to know, how much is something used in standard etc. There are the tables: Tab 1) Field relations by type: Relation Type...

David “Mr. Dave” Yack sent me a copy of his latest project. I haven’t had a chance to read through all 700 pages as I just got it a couple of days ago but it looks darn good. Dave’s a smart guy. He did quite a bit of training for us when we were out helping ISVs get an early start on...

In yesterday’s video we talked about WPF and showed off some mind-altering 2D and 3D animations :). As we said then, WPF provides access to local data and resources as well as access to bare metal performance including 3D graphics acceleration. But you can’t take that sort of thing to the...

In this episode The Dynamics Duo dive into the deep rich coolness that is WPF. We also spend some time talking about the offline data framework that Dynamics CRM provides developers. In past sessions we built solutions on SharePoint and Office and those are great for the specific scenarios...

Zack’s response yesterday to my blog post of a few weeks back about my gadget lust got me thinking about this again. Zack portrays me a keyboard hater so let me say up front that I have nothing against keyboards. Some of my best friends are keyboards. :) Ok so having said that...

A new way to get familiar with the product ... and not a bad one. A few months ago, we could read about the " Web Services Competition for NAV 2009 " on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV UK Blog. If this is a serious competition or not, I don't know. But recently, I noticed Microsoft is organizing...

In the last episode we talked about Microsoft Office SharePoint Server; in this one we talk about Microsoft Office on the client side. CRM actually integrates really really well with Microsoft Office Outlook right out of the box. That’s a natural as it’s the place where many people work day-in...

In this segment Girish and I talk about how Dynamics CRM integrates with SharePoint. We begin with a little guidance for where you might use one over the other and where they work well together. And they sure do go well together. “Separated at birth” is how I put it in the video. ...

Girish on my team has been working on a demo that demonstrates the capabilities of the Dynamics CRM platform. We figured it would be a lot more interesting to get some of that on video in the form of a conversation (as opposed to a screencast) so I get to play the role of interviewer and Girish...

I spent some time with Manoj Nuthakki on the Dynamics team chatting about how we take full advantage of SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) in the recently released Dynamics AX 2009. AX 2009 ships with 10 SSAS cubes out of the box so includes tons of pre...

I personally enjoy working with 2 technologies: Dynamics NAV and Microsoft .NET. Lately I have been more focused in with Dynamics NAV because my current company has their core business based in Dynamics NAV. I also like being related to development but even know I'm speeding each day making less...

Today I have for you something, what everyone wants to have, but it was nearly impossible to create. After you see it, you will know why. I prepared it for you in more formats. You can look at it as PNG file, you can walk through it with some VRML viewer, you can open it as Visio file. You can read it...

Well, we all know that " Index Statistics " are crucial for optimized query processing in SQL Server, that we shouldn't use "Auto. Create Stats" or "Auto. Update Stats", that we should use "Jobs" or "Maintenance Plans" to keep them up to date, etc...

Normally, I would have done an article about Sumindexfields on versions previous to 5.0 SP1, but I decided not to do that. The Belgian version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 SP1 is just released, and the Belgian release is always pretty late. In fact ... I just checked ... every localized version is available...
