There are some wrong date formats in the LOCKED table "G/L entry" instead of 10/10/2007 -> 10/10/0007

So when i restore de fbk file with finsql i get the error message that the SQL server can't handle the date format

I tried the following to edit these dates:

go to nav object designer and go to the table and to the record (but can't edit the date)
tried to use the ODBC driver and access but the same ... can't edit
tried a text editor to manualy edit the data ... but file is to big

Does anyone has any suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

Ledger Entry tables are protected tables unless you have a full developer license you cannot edit, anyhow it is not a good practice to edit these tables. Why the date is 10/10/0007 because of wrong data entry ? and how many records do you have like that ?

You need a developer license to modify the protected table.

RE: Edit locked tables for restoring a native database to sql (wrong date entry in locked table stops it)

I understand that i need a developer license, but we are developing a custom .NET ERP-system.

We develop with visual studio 2015 (2017) and Standard SQL-server.

The customer wants to stop with NAV.

We only need to export all the Navision data to a SQL database, in order to import and for consultation reasons.

There are not a lot of records with wrong date format (I think 10 records).

Can i get a licence for this old version?

Is there a possibility that I can ask for a temporary developers licence for "Microsoft Business Solutions - Navision Ver. 4.0 SP3"?

You need to contact the partner, who will have license for it.
