Dynamics NAV 2013 - How to display a related field from another table on a page

On the CAL code for the Page, use this code to display the Barcode from the Barcode Table next to the items on my current table that only has populated Item no. and a blank field emptyBarcode with no data.

We use the emptyBarcode field as a variable to store the Barcode value we find.
Once we populate the emptyBarcode in the CAL code, the value is displayed on the page in the emptyBarcode field

//-------------------------------------------------------------------
OnAfterGetRecord()

BarcodeRec.SETCURRENTKEY("BarcodeItem No.");
BarcodesRec.SETRANGE("BarcodeItem No.","Item No.");
BarcodesRec.SETRANGE("Show for Item",TRUE);
IF BarcodesRec.FIND('-') THEN
  emptyBarcode := BarcodesRec."Barcode No."
ELSE BEGIN
  BarcodesRec.SETRANGE("Show for Item");
  IF BarcodesRec.FIND('-') THEN
    emptyBarcode := BarcodesRec."Barcode No."
  ELSE
    emptyBarcode := '';
END;
//------------------------------------------------------------------------

Printing from Windows XP

This may be related to the graphics drivers.
Ensure the graphics drivers for the local machine and terminal server are updated to the correct drivers, and not the standard windows drivers.

Ensure that the client machine is on the latest service pack.

If the user uses 1024x768 and remotes in to the terminal server and prints, it will print correctly.
OR
You can leave your screen resolution the way it is, and manually change the display settings on the RDP session to force the session to display in 1024x768.

Either way, the RDP will print correctly.

Dell XPSL502X -AC Power adapter type cannot be determined. Plugged in, not charging

Lots of websites tell you to replace your adapter, or your battery.

Use Throttlestop to prevent the cpu throttling
https://www.techpowerup.com/download/techpowerup-throttlestop/
Set multiplier to 25 or 26, (the machine drops it to 8 when the adapter is not detected)

Try this first, it worked for me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcDvp2A7Fss

1. Power off machine
2. Remove battery
3. Remove AC cord
4. Unplug AC cord
5. Leave everything off and unplugged for a couple hours to ensure all charge is discharged, and everything cools to room temperature
6. Plug in AC cord to wall
7. Plug Ac cord to PC
8. Turn on PC
9. Right click on My Computer>Properties>Device Manager>Batteries
10. Uninstall all Microsoft - devices
11. Shut down machine
12. Unplug adapter from wall and pc
13. Put the battery back in (Make sure it is cool, hot batteries will not charge)
14. Plug in adapter to wall and pc
15. Turn machine on
16. At this point, the battery should show that it is charging
1. If this works, then nothing is wrong with your hardware
17. When you turn back on the machine, it will reinstall the ACPI drivers
18. This may cause the PC to stop detecting the adapter again

Option2: Let everything cool and discharge (This also continues to work for me after the first method failed)

1. Unplug the AC adapter from the laptop and wall
2. Remove the battery from the laptop
3. Hold down the power button on the laptop for 30 seconds to remove any residual charge
4. Leave them all overnight to cool completely
5. Put battery in laptop
6. Plug adapter into laptop
7. Plug adapter into wall
8. Battery light should come on to indicate charging without having to turn on laptop
