'Never stop learning'

An interesting day today. Had a phone call from a back links supplier on the www.dynamicsnavconsultant.co.uk web site and what they could do for a fee to improve referrals / clicks. Very interesting - we are doing most of the potential optimisations already but back links are more difficult. Our ranking has also slipped to 10th on the first page from 2nd. So we need to do something. Going back to the supplier by the end of this week. If it works, it should get us more hits!
And then we had an issue with Nav sql version. Sql 2008 all ok and database looks ok. But you cannot access the database in Nav - .stx error. It all started with trying to restore the latest client sql database back up into our server. No problem in sql management studio but could not access in Nav sql. So tried all sorts including trying to restore old back ups. Made an assumption that the issue was in sql and yet the error message was in Nav.
Now fixed. All down to where was the error message (Nav) and re-installing the Nav client. The re-install failed but it must have replaced a corrupt .stx file because now we have the latest database on our machine. A result and more importantly a lesson learnt - track the error message against the application it appears in first.
Busy day and a very busy week. 2 days out super user training on Dynamics Nav for a client and behind on some of the developments because of the failed restore issue above. But we will catch up!
