Compile report again and again?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 555

Hi,

My customer tells me that my former colleague has told him to compile a specific "processing only" report i NAV 2009.

The story is that sometimes a function in a form doesn't work and there is no error messages. That problem would be fixed if the customer finds the report in the Object Designer and compile it.

Can this really be true?

    Thank you for your reply, Stefano. That is exactly what I would expect, but I am new to NAV and my colleagues and my customer tells me different (none of them are experienced NAV developers).

    An object must be compiled before it can be used in the platform. Obviously, a compiled object must not be recompiled again if you don't have modified it. If in a form (or page) you have a function that calls a not compiled object, you receive an error.
