Why is VirtualBox only showing 32 bit guest versions on my 64 bit host OS?

Why is VirtualBox only showing 32 bit guest versions on my 64 bit host OS? I experienced an extremely nettlesome problem after swapping out my traditional hard drive for a faster Solid State Drive ( SSD ).  I installed Windows 8.1 from scratch using the Product Key , copied over all my software ( I probably should have used Ninite  but I was too lazy) and then mindlessly enabled a bunch of options that I never enabled before. But Alas! Stupidity has a cost and in my case it cost hours of discomfiting nights scouring Google for a solution. Today I want to save you the pain I encountered by showing you how to fix a problem I experienced in VirtualBox.  This post is going to be succinct and to the point. Even though my Host OS is a 64-bit version of Windows 8.1 , VirtualBox categorically refused to display any 64-bit guest OSes in the  Create Virtual Machine dialog box. This was super annoying because all my ISOs were 64-bit therefore I couldn’t use the

Quick Fix Visual Studio displaying NAV Report Layout as XML

I got this issue with Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise Edition.  Every time I open a Dynamics NAV report layout in Visual Studio, RDLC is rendered as XML file instead of visual layout with all the fields and tool boxes.  How the report layout looks:  FIX : In order to fix the issue you need to install  "Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools" .  To install "Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools" you need to go to  Control Panel   ->  Programs and Features  - >  Microsoft Visual Studio <Edition>  -> Change Or you can re run the installation setup.  From the features list, enable "Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools" option and proceed.  Once the installation is completed you are good to go. This time report layout will open in correct design layout.  Hope this helps you to resolve the issue. happy designing.  Please provide your feedback with a comment.  Thank you and Regards, +256775120005 Kairo Okello Dan ERP Solutions Consultant

Applying One(1) Cash Receipt/Payment entry to Multiple Invoices

Applying One(1) Cash Receipt/Payment entry to Multiple Invoices Answering one of these Questions will definitely add to your knowledge Dictionary: Within the same Cash Receipt Journal Batch (or even when using different Batches), is it possible to  apply multiple Invoices to the Receipt? First Solution: When I use the "Apply Entries" button, if I try to apply multiple Invoices to the same Invoice, and click the set "Applies-to ID"  one each of the Invoices from the page,  and a combined Amount computed from the combination of the applied Invoices  Second Solution: Just not apply the deposits to the invoice directly in the deposit ticket but leave them unapplied. Then they go into the customer afterwards - into the cust ledger entries & use apply entries to apply them all together.

Applying Multiple Cash Receipts/Payments entries to 1 Invoice

Applying Multiple Cash Receipt/Payment entries to 1 Invoice Answering one of these Questions will definitely add to your knowledge Dictionary: Within the same Cash Receipt Journal Batch (or even when using different Batches), is it possible to partially apply the Cash Receipt's multiple "Payment" entries to the same Sales Invoice? When I use the "Apply Entries" button, if I try to apply multiple Payments to the same Invoice, it will only remove the previous "Applies-to ID" from the page, before subsequent payments can be applied to the invoice, which result in ONLY ONE payment can be applied. (If I use the "Applies-to Doc. No." then I was able to select one Invoice for multiple payments, BUT I was unable to partially apply the Payments to the invoice. If I were to use this page, then I need the capability to Partially apply the payments) First Solution:  Is this how NAV is designed? So that unless the Payment Entries are posted, yo
