How to login to server

There are four steps to complete when you manually log onto
your desired Microsoft Navision company:
1. Whether to open Microsoft Navision’s Client version or
Microsoft Navision’s Microsoft SQL Server version
2. Choose the server where your desired database and Microsoft
Navision company exist (this step is only necessary
if you have chosen to use the Microsoft Navision
Microsoft SQL Server version in step 1)
3. Enter your username and password
4. Choose which company in the database you want to
open



The first step is to choose whether you want to use a database
that is contained within your client PC (located on your client
local hard-drive) or a database located on a remote sever. Normally,
you will use the server edition of Microsoft Navision if
you have a central Microsoft Navision database that is used simultaneously
by many workers.

These versions of the software are located at:
* Start > Programs > Microsoft Business Solutions-
Microsoft Navision > Microsoft Business Solutions-
Microsoft Navision (for the client version)
* Start > Programs > Microsoft Business Solutions > Microsoft
Business Solutions-Microsoft Navision SQL
server option (for the MSSQL version)

Next, a Login window will appear where you enter your User ID
and Password.


This Login window will automatically access the most recently
used database and company which are recorded as ZUP-data in
the client user information file. If you are using only one database
and one company in that database, you may always use this
login window and forget the background connection it automatically
implies.

First, you must choose your Server Name. In the client version,
[Client Only] will appear. This is fine if your desired database is
located locally on the client hard drive. We recommend that the
original installation of Microsoft Navision and your Microsoft SQL
server be set up by your solution center as these are activities
performed only once and may require the experience of a specialist.
Next, you must enter your User ID and Password before
the server will allow you to enter anything into the Database Name field. Choose which database you want to use and click
OK.
Next, enter your User ID and Password and then click on the Database
Name field.
A help arrow will appear in the white space of this field. Find
the database you want to use and click OK. Next, you must
choose which company in the database you want to work with.
