Web - Navision synchronisation with Outlook

Hi! 

Our client is running Navision 4.03 and has a Web system for his Cotnacts 
and To-Dos. He has asked to have his Web system synchronise the Contacts and 
To-Dos with the Outlook. 
i.e to have web pages which show the Navision Contact & To-Dos, but once 
these are changed from the Web they should update the user's Outlook's 
Contacts and Tasks. 

Is this possible using ASP.net or anything else? 

Any ideas are welcome 

thanks, 

Hi Dave,

  your client has Web System or you want to create new web pages for
showing Contact and To-Dos from NAV? If you want to create new web
pages, ASP.NET is very good idea. You can use webservices to transfer
changes between WEB and NAV. Then you can setup NAV to synchronise
with Outoook.
If you change something in Outlook, it will be changed in NAV and in
WEB. If you change something on WEB, it will be transfered to NAV and
then to Outlook.

All will be synchronised :-)

Hi Billy,

i want to create new ASP.NET pages to display the Contacts and To-Dos, but 
the problem is how to synchronise the New/Amended (Web) To-Dos with Outlook? 
since the users will be using just the web, they will not have the Navision 
client open on their computer to use the Nav synchronisation with Outlook.

regards
Dave

Hi Dave,

  hm ....nice problem. Do you have Exchange? If you have it, you can
connect from web to Exchange and transfer changes. But it will be too
complicated (I thing) to solve all possible conflicts.
  If you don't have exchange, ... maybe ActiveX (or .dll ?) is useful.
You should create ActiveX to connect from web pages to outlook.

Hi Billy,

yes, at least we've got Exchange...so I guess we can use Web services to 
sync with Exchange....as cannot think of anything else.


Regards,
Dave
