Looks like I jumped the gun when I wrote about the book release on this post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For real, the Dynamics NAV 2009 reporting book is now officially released. Again, you can buy a copy of the book here:
\nhttps:\/\/www.packtpub.com\/microsoft-dynamics-nav-2009-for-professional-reporting\/book<\/a><\/p>\n

Back when I was asked to review this, I knew this was going to be a must read book for any people out there wanting to develop reports in Navision. After the final product is delivered to me, I have to say that the final book blew away even my original expectations!<\/p>\n

Aside from the content it provides, Steven Render (the author) really made an effort to document all the necessary steps to create good looking and complex reports with step by step examples, and… PICTURES! For all of you future NAV book writers, it really doesn’t matter if you can construct the most beautiful sentience in the world. Well done pictures will always win. Better yet,\u00a0draw\/write\u00a0within the pictures, as what Steven has done in his book.<\/p>\n

I’m not alone on this as Eric Wauters (Waldo), a fellow NAV MVP,\u00a0also had some good things to say about this book here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned before, this book really patches up the lack of documentation on the reporting side for NAV2009 and its capabilities. The information here is definitely not something you can just download from Partnersource or Customersource.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
