The wonders of links and the problems ...

I'm often using links into NAV (2013) from VBA in Outlook and Excel and it works fine for opening a page view in NAV with some preset filters.

(I'm talking links of this type: dynamicsnav://dkscph-navapp.net.com:7046/nav2013r2_prod/PVNorway/runpage?page=6068740)

There are however a few situations where I cannot get links to do what I wanted.

1. I have never been able på open a report and set parameters and filter.

So for now I have given up on that.

2. Today I then had another problem. I needed to make a link that would open a specific Payment Journal with a specific name ...and couldn't.

If I go into the journal and copy the links then I get something that works but I cannot see the specific name that I had hoped.

What I get is "dynamicsnav://dkscph-navapp.net.arator.com:7046/nav2013r2_prod/PV20Norway/runpage?page=6016850&personalization=6016850&bookmark=38%3BUQAAAAJ7%2F1AATQAAAAJ7%2F1UARABMAEEATgBEAAAAAIcQJw%3D%3D&mode=Edit"

I had hoped for a a link where the name of the record could be seen and where I could use that as a templete and open a journal just knowing it's name.

Any ideas how I can make it work? Is it even possible in current NAV?

- start report with link: i tried following on my system. running report 205 with filter No.=1001. so i created this link ... dynamicsnav://localhost:7246/DynamicsNAV100/CRONUS%20AG/runreport?report=205&filter=Sales%20Header.%22No%2E%22:1001

that worked correctly.

hint: important is to convert special chars to html like . , " (blank) a.s.o.

additional check, if you use the correct nav instance, if you have installed more than one nav versions on your system.

- run a page, e.g. a journal with filters:

dynamicsnav://localhost:7246/DynamicsNAV100/CRONUS%20AG/runpage?page=99000846&$filter='Journal Template Name'%20IS%20'VERBRAUCH'%20AND%20'Journal Batch Name'%20IS%20'STANDARD'

the word 'Verbrauch' is german and means consumption.

as you can see the used syntax for the filters is different between report and page.
