Is there someplace that tells you what different "error" messages in Microsoft NAV mean? One that we are getting is "Metadata for page 9038 does not contain a control definition for the control with ID18". What is Metadata? Where is page 9038 and how do we access it?

Metadata is created for all the objects in navision and it is stored in Object MetaData table, the above error means the page 9038 is not compiled successfully and it does not find any metadata information for that page.

Please Compile the Page and that should solve the issue. Metadata is the information about the object and as i mentioned above Navision stores this information in Object Metadata table and there are other metadata tables like user metadata, which stores user related.

Hi,

You may goto the Development Environment in NAV and search for the respective page : 9038, select it by clicking on that row and compile using the Tools -> Compile (from the Menu bar)..

Suresh-

I have a client on 2013 R2 having this error with Page 42 and Control ID 68 -- but only on 1 user. If that user goes to another workstation, they get the same error. Other users who try it on HER workstation do not get the error, so I know it is login specific. Is there something I can do just for that user?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I had this problem today while creating permission sets, I discovered that when I allow all access to all TableData fields, I do not get the error message. So I knew this error is from the TableData.

You should go to your permission sets and give permission to TableData Page Metadata. If it does work, you can do sale thing I did with mine by giving all permission to your TableData.

Hope it helps.
