Microsoft Dynamics NAV Style Sheet Tool

2007-07-05T12:30:00Z

The Style Sheet feature in Microsoft DynamicsTM NAV 5.0 has been enhanced with a new tool that allows you to easily and without programming knowledge create and modify style sheets in Microsoft® Office Word.

The release of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 introduced the option to export any form (apart from matrix forms) from Microsoft Dynamics NAV to Microsoft Office® Word and Excel®. By simply clicking a button, Microsoft Dynamics NAV will generate an XML document that works in conjunction with an XML style sheet that passes the requested information to either Word or Excel.

Seven style sheets are included in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. You can read about these in the White Paper ‘Creating XML Style Sheets for Data Export from Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0’. However, if you want to create more style sheets or modify an existing one, you need to have knowledge of XML and C/AL programming in order to add the relevant data elements.

To simplify this process, a style sheet tool has been created that does not require programming knowledge. The first version of this tool will support the export of data to Word, and this means that the only skill required to create additional style sheets is some end-user knowledge of Word.

The Microsoft Dynamics NAV Stylesheet Tool supports integration to Microsoft Word 2003 and Microsoft Word 2007.
It consists of a fob file and a user guide.

Highly Recommended: SQL Server 2005 Performance and Troubleshooting (Part III)

2007-04-24T12:09:00Z

Dear All,

Microsoft Business Solutions Global Technical Support Center (MBS GTSC) is pleased to announce the above mentioned webcast.

OVERVIEW:

In FY06, MBS GTSC started with the transfer of product knowledge to partners using Microsoft Office Live Meeting to hold webcasts. For FY07, this knowledge transfer will be continued, and a new group of webcasts has been created covering specific functionalities and topics of NAV, AX and CRM as well as Classic technologies.

Microsoft Office Live Meeting is a web-based platform where PowerPoint decks and other applications can be shared with the audience. Every session will cover a separate, well defined topic and will take a maximum of 120 minutes. These sessions can be followed on the web while listening to the presenter via your computer. Each session will consist of a training/ comprehension section with questions and answers at the end.

ABOUT THE TOPIC:

This presentation is the third in this series and will be looking at tools & techniques for understanding how SQL Server 2005 is performing and identifying possible bottlenecks. Unlike earlier presentations in the series, this one will not be specific to Dynamics Nav. However, the insights gained will be useful for monitoring and improving performance of any application that uses SQL Server as its data store. The content will cover performance related Dynamic Management Views (DMVs), tools used by Microsoft to analyse customer problems and the new “Performance Dashboard Reports” which can be incorporated into SQL Management Studio since the release of Service Pack 2.
