Changing table names. Navision 3.7 - need help

Hello
I am trying to create a report set for a company with changing table names. Meaning that for each company the erp system is in operation for, the table names are different.
Mening that for one company the GL table is named like this:
[Company X$GL] while for another company the GL table is like this:
[Company Y$GL]
Should I use a stored procedure to handle it, a function... any good ideas before I start experimenting..
I have the possibility of getting the company name from the system, so thats not a problem...
hope for some good advice.David,
You could acheive this by using two reports; The first would get the appropriate company/table name, this report would contain a sub-report, passing the company/table name as a parameter. The sub-report would use a dynamic query, built from the parameter, such as;
="Select * From " & Parameter!Company.Value
You may be able to do it from one report, depending on the order in which the datasets are handled.
Hope that helps

The 1 line restrictions was removed with SP1. Any way by 1 line they really mean one sentence, so;
="SELECT * " &
"FROM [" & Parameters!Company.Value & " X$G_L Account]"
would work OK.

Changing Security to Windows Authentications from sql login

Hi
I have around 300+ DTS packages, with most of the have been created by users
with SQL Login information.
MY company is now moving to Windows Authentication.
There two places where we can put SQL Login information in DTS Packages.
1. When you create new connection in DTS for SQL Server.
2. When you save DTS packages...
I have posted the same in DTS group also.
It is lots of manual work to change all the dts packages to windows authenti
catiosn.
Is there any simple and automatic way to change all the connections to use w
indows authentications...'?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
JPUsing SQL DMO you can do anything. Infact the whole SQL Enterprise Manager
uses DMO object to show you what you see.
If you can create a lil application, use SQL DMO, iterate thru DTS packages
and modify their properties.
Read more about SQL DMO !

Changing DSN to DSN-Less

hi

I bought a web site of ebay for about 4500 (www.uktattoostudios.co.uk). I decided to get the web site hosted on a new hosting company called namesco.co.uk. the only problem is they dont support DSN and have DSN-Less

How would I change the site to work with DSN-Less?

the site is a tattoo studio directory.It uses MS SQL database with about 1000 studios listed. The studios can log in and change there details etc.

The only file I find on the site with dsn in is this code call tattoo.asp

<%
' FileName="Connection_odbc_conn_dsn.htm"
' Type="ADO"
' DesigntimeType="ADO"
' HTTP="false"
' Catalog=""
' Schema=""
Dim MM_TATTOO_STRING
MM_TATTOO_STRING = "dsn=TATTOO;uid=dt-data;pwd=XXXXXXXX;"
%>

I can connect to the ms sql server , Would I need to change the MS SQL 2005 database codes? If yes how would I do this. and what do i change in the above code

Finally would changing it to dsn-less cause any problems?

thanks
dave
