Hey guys,

I plan to create a report, which should import some text files to NAV.

Therefore I found a blog entry: https://robert-dynamicsnav.de/2016/07/dynamics-nav-datei-import-export-handhabung-1/

Here they are using a request page and call a function called "OpenFileDialog".

That one will not be necessay for my task, because there won't be a user, who could do some input.

So how can I change the procedure in that way, that the report looks on its own to known place after the text files?!

Later the job queue should automatically collect the files let's from C:

Thank you :)

You need to create a setup field with the directory location, and your code should loop through all the files in the directory and execute the import, after processing the import, you need to move those files to the archive folder.

Check codeunit 419, it has functions with the use of DirectoryHelper you can find all the files in that directory. (GetClientDirectoryFilesList, GetServerDirectoryFilesList)
