Not sure where I originally saw this tip but it’s been so handy for me I think it needs to exist in more than one location. If you’ve done a NAV backup and need to grab a couple objects out of the backup, instead of doing a full restore and then exporting select objects, you can point the object designer import process at the .fbk backup file. NAV will scan through and present a list of conflicting objects, which should be all objects. Skipping the full restore is a HUGE time saver.
Shift + F12 to open object designer. File -> Import. You’ll have to change the file type to ‘All Files (*.*)’.
It’ll scan through the .fbk and present the Import Worksheet.
Here you can CTRL+F1 to select individual objects that you’d like to replace or import. On the menu View -> ‘Marked Only’ will show the marked objects, or you can save them as .fob files.
