Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision 4.0 and Microsoft Navision 4.0 are now part of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 4.0. All references to Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision or to Microsoft Navision 4.0 relate to Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
This article applies to Microsoft Dynamics NAV 4.0 for all regions.
Symptoms
When you open a dialog box in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, you cannot determine which fields are available and which fields are unavailable because all the fields appear to be available. This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
- You are using Microsoft Dynamics NAV on a Windows Vista-based computer.
- The Windows Aero color scheme is enabled on the computer.
For example, this problem occurs when you open the Customer Card dialog box in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. When you do this, the Balance field and the Credit Limit field have the same color. However, the Balance field should appear dimmed because it is unavailable.
Cause
This problem occurs because Microsoft Dynamics NAV uses Windows controls that have a different appearance when the computer is running Windows Vista.
