This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements.

Note Before you install this hotfix, verify that all Microsoft Navision client users are logged off the system. This includes Microsoft Navision Application Services (NAS) client users. You should be the only client user who is logged on when you implement this hotfix.

To implement this hotfix, you must have a developer license.

We recommend that the user account in the Windows Logins window or in the Database Logins window be assigned the "SUPER" role ID. If the user account cannot be assigned the "SUPER" role ID, you must verify that the user account has the following permissions:

• The Modify permission for the object that you will be changing.
• The Execute permission for the System Object ID 5210 object and for the System Object ID 9015 object.

Note You do not have to have rights to the data stores unless you have to perform data repair.

Code changes

Note Always test code fixes in a controlled environment before you apply the fixes to your production computers.
To resolve this problem, change the code in the SMTP Mail codeunit (400). After you apply the changes, email messages will be created and sent from the client instead of the server. Therefore, the email messages will preserve the identity of the executing user.
To do this, follow these steps:

1. Deploy and register the Microsoft.Navision.Mail.dll assembly in the client. To do this, run the following command:
   regasm /tlb:Microsoft.Navision.Mail.tlb /codebase Microsoft.Navision.Mail.dll
2. Change the code in the SMTP Mail codeunit (400) as follows:
   Existing code

   ...
   PROCEDURE CreateMessage@.....
   BEGIN
   IF Recipients <> '' THEN
   CheckValidEmailAddresses(Recipients);
   CheckValidEmailAddresses(SenderAddress);
   SMTPMailSetup.GET;
   SMTPMailSetup.TESTFIELD("SMTP Server");
   IF ISCLEAR(Mail) THEN
   CREATE(Mail);
   Mail.FromName := SenderName;
   ...

   Replacement code

   ...
   PROCEDURE CreateMessage@.....
   BEGIN
   IF Recipients <> '' THEN
   CheckValidEmailAddresses(Recipients);
   CheckValidEmailAddresses(SenderAddress);
   SMTPMailSetup.GET;
   SMTPMailSetup.TESTFIELD("SMTP Server");
   IF ISCLEAR(Mail) THEN
   CREATE(Mail,TRUE,TRUE);
   Mail.FromName := SenderName;
   ...
