NAV 2013 - Error messages.

Hello,

I am using the function 'message', 'error', etc.

When using them I realized that sometimes the 'error' output is a messagebox, and sometimes it is just an error line on the screen.

On what circumstances may be that difference?

Thanks :)

    Hi Eitan

    Can you come with examples where MESSAGE brings up an error and vicaversa?
