Creating an InfoPath form for the NAV data
Microsoft InfoPath allows you to create forms to view and enter data outside of the NAV application. There is no programming involved, other than having an existing NAV page exposed as a web service.
Getting ready
Microsoft InfoPath must be installed on the client machine.
How to do it...
Create a web service as described in the Creating web services recipe in Chapter 10, Integration.
By navigating to File | New in InfoPath, select Web Service and click on Design Form:
Select Receive Data.
From the Dynamics NAV Web Server page, go to the following address and find the web service:
http://localhost:7047/DynamicsNAV70/WS/servicesIn this case we will be using
http://localhost:7047/DynamicsNAV70/WS/Page/CustomerList, but this could be different on your system.Enter this address in the Data Connection Wizard window.
Click on Next.
Select Read Multiple.
Click on Next and finally on Finish.
You should now have a design template that looks like the following screenshot...
