Problem solved! It was actually a reply from Bob Barrows that got me going
on this - thanks Bob.

It seems that when you disable Script Blocking in NAV (actually SYM
Systemworks 2005) and you reboot after a Live Update, Systemworks will reset
any options that you've turned off to the values chosen at "Install Time".
For NAV Corporate Edition on a Server, script blocking is enabled
automatically for all Managed Clients and when the client logs in the NAV
client manager re-enables what ever features you've configured for "Managed
Clients"!

I guess the "Rule of thumb would be": Always double check NAV settings after
Live Updates or nAV Corp Edition Updates to managed clients.

I disables Script Blocking and all is well.
