This should be easy. In fact, I did it as a proof of concept and then lost the project when my instance of AX got erased from the DEV directory.....
This needs to be done in Dynamics AX 2012.
I have established a warehouse database so that we can pull copies of tables from the active AX transactional database and use them offline to create elaborate tables that represent specific report details for the user.
Rather than create SSRS reports on some external SharePoint or Portal server, I would like to create a form with a grid and display the tables on that grid when the user accesses that form through the AX menu. I don't want to use a role page or some other portal scheme to render the data in AX - I just want a standard form window with a grid, where the table will show up and then add a few controls to allow the user to filter the grid and then send it to Excel.
Any ideas how to get a grid to read a table that is not in the AX database?
