Hello ABC(a)Gmail.com!

Thank you for your posting in the Navision newsgroup.

I understand that you wish to copy data, including transaction details,
from one company to another . Is this correct?

You were correct in that the Copy Data function would not be able to pull
over the transaction details to a new company. The functionality of Copy
Data from the Setup Checklist was to help users set up a new company in a
quick manner. Therefore it will mainly only copy "Setup Data" from generic
tables.

LucVanDyck(a)discussions.microsoft.com had mentioned a viable solution for
this situation.

Will the backup / restore of the database appeal to you here?
Should it not, I can continue my research and see what I can find for you.

Let me know what you think! Look forward to hearing from you!

Have a great weekend.

What case are you going to close? AFAIK, this is a public newsgroup.

Is this used as a replacement for the suport system? How can I tell which
ones are closed?
