NAV 2016 Temporary file location used by "Print and Send" - can it be changed?

Hi all,

We have several NAV databases, so we have set up a number of shortcuts that use the "-settings" parameter to point to a different ".config" file. These config files are stored in a directory on a server where the users do NOT have write/delete permissions - only read.

When using the "Print and Send" to Excel feature, users are getting the following error:

Configuration file error:

An error occurred loading a configuration file: Access to the path 'J:\CApp\RTC\2xokkuwh.tmp' is denied. (J:\CApp\RTC\Nav2016Test.config)

So, from this message, I have inferred that NAV uses the directory where the .config file is for a temporary file in generating Excel (or Word) output.

If I change the -settings command to point to a directory where the user has full permissions (or remove the -settings command completely so it defaults to the standard location), the Print to Excel works fine.

SO, my questions are:

1. Can the location that NAV uses for these temporary files be changed to some directory OTHER than the location of the .config file, and

2. If so, how?

Thanks
