    - How do we close an invoice in version 3.0? In version 1.2 we had an Action on the toolbar to close the invoice. Now we have nothing. I tried customizing the form and adding the statecode, but that field is Read-only and so it didn't help. We mass-print all of our invoices and need them to be closed (not deleted) once they are paid. HELP! Thanks, Karla Tag: Adventure Works MSCRM Tag: 83729

    - Populate fields in forms with data from CRM 3.0? Hi all. Is it possible to gather data from CRM 3.0 ("Accounts" in our case) and use it to populate a drop down field in a SharePoint form? We're running MOSS 2007 Enterprise so BDC is an option if need be. I haven't checked out the downloadable web parts for CRM connectivity yet but as far as I can tell they're not for this kind of functionality. Tag: Adventure Works MSCRM Tag: 83726

    - moving reports server(old server decommisioned). Hi- We have CRM3.0 running on a server and have the database on a separate server and the reports were installed on a third server. Unfortunately the reports server was decommisioned before the reports could be migrated to a new reports server. I now need to setup the reporting again(effectively from scratch) but cannot fund the info on how to do this. Can someone point me in the right direction, do I need to run crm setup on the crm or reports server again? After that I know I need to setup the delegation etc but am stumped on how to actually install the reports on the new report server. Have read kb's re moving server but unfortunately don't have access to the old one anymore. TIA. Jez. Tag: Adventure Works MSCRM Tag: 83717

    - Tab order I am in version 3.0 of CRM. One of the user defined fields that I have is a pick list that opens a calendar drop down. When the user selects a date from the calendar, the tab order goes back to the first field. However, if the user writes the date in (without using the picklist) the tab order goes to the next feild as it should. Any thoughts on this? Thanks Tag: Adventure Works MSCRM Tag: 83710

    - CRM performing slowly Hello All, we have a CRM3.0 installed, but the users are complaining about bad performance. I have the following questions: - how/where do I see what is the version of CRM installed on the server? - how/where do I see what is the version of CRM installed on the client? - where do I download the latest version? - the client installation is "destroying" the Outlook, and sometimes our VPN connection, and in the worst cases we were in need to re-install the machine - any help? - how would I troubleshoot My-CRM-Is-Slow issues?

    - Workflowrule start Just to get something clear: When exactly does an OnCreate workflowrule start monitoring the record? Is that upon clicking for example 'New incident' (rule starts looking but if form is closed without saving the rule is deleted again?) or is that (seems more logical to me) after the very first 'Save'/'Save&cose' (thus actually creating the record).

    - Elapsed time tracking for cases Hello, I am trying to convince MSCRM to calculate an elapsed time value from the create date/time of a case through to either the current date/time (for non-closed cases) or the resolved date/time (for closed cases). Complicating this is the need to be able to stop the timer incrementing when the case is put on hold, and outside of our support hours (9am-5pm). For example, if a case is created at 4:50pm and resolved at 09:10 am the next day only 20 mins will show on the elapsed time counter. We need this for SLA tracking and calculation, and the elapsed time value needs to be displayed on the case form itself. Any suggestion will be gratefully received.

    - Reporting on Responses to Campaign Activities I am trying to find a way to use a Campaign Performance report to run the following report with the following conditions: How many new contacts were created as a response of them filling out a form in several monthly journals (campaign activities, in CRM terms). Forms have codes to help track the issues. No sale process is involved. Basically, I would like to include a sub-report in the Response channel section (Journal1, Journal2, Journal3) that will group new contacts created as their response to a particular activity (Journal1 January 2007). Adding a customizable filter (Pick your activities...) will help. Am I on the right track? Any comments and ideas will be appreciated. Tag: Adventure Works MSCRM Tag: 83660

    - Reporting on Responses to Campaign Activities I am trying to find a way to use a Marketing module in general and Campaign Performance report in particular to run a report with the following conditions: How many new contacts were created as a response of them filling out a form in several monthly journals (campaign activities, in CRM terms)? The goal is to measure the effectiveness of different ads. Forms have codes to help track the issues. No sale process is involved; just need the count of new contacts. Some customizations were made to the campaign response entity to include the appropriate response channel and code. Responses point to the activity corresponding to the month of the publication.

    - Mail merge template not saving settings I have created a mail merge template for our labels. I have marked the option to always print the country as well as re-mapped a couple fields. I applied these to all the address blocks. When I re-use this template, those settings are gone and I can only update the first label to add country and re-map as there is now no "update all labels" when using a template. I do not want to have to have the users enter the type of label, margins, font size, mapppings etc. Why is CRM overriding these settings? Tag: Adventure Works MSCRM Tag: 83652

    - isDirty attribute hello everyone, I'm working with crm 3.0 and got the following issue. I have some fields that are disabled for the user, but are showing data calculated from other fields. When I save the form I enable them, otherwise they would not be saved. That works fine when the user uses the Save & Close button. But when the user click on the Save button and he hasn't made any changes, the disabled fields become enabled. I've been trying to workaround this problem, but with no result. I tried to use the OnLoad event to disable the fields everytime, but when the Save button is clicked the OnLoad event doesn't trigger. I tried to modify a fields value and return it back to its original value to get that field isDirty attribute to true, but that didn't work either. Is there a way to set a field's isDirty attribute to True programmaticaly? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Eduardo Tag: Adventure Works MSCRM Tag: 83643

    - CRM, Outlook and Cookies My office is currently running a CRM 3.0 Professional install and I have successfuly installed the CRM client for Outlook on a CSR's system, but when I open Outlook I am getting the following error: "Your Web browser options are currently set to disable cookies. Microsoft CRM requires cookies to use the Web client. To enable cookies, see the online Help for your browser" On this users system I have enabled all cookies in their IE properties and the CRM server is listed in their Local Intranet zone. At this point, IE is set to the lowest possible settings and Outlook is still throwing this error out at me. I have two systems that the CRM client is currently working successfuly on and I can find no difference between their browser settings and this problem install before lowering it's security levels. I'm unsure as to what the next steps should be for troubleshooting this issue. Any help?

    - Email to Case Email->Description Formatting Ok, interesting problem here. I have written a Workflow that creates a service request from an email that is sent into the Q. THis is working great. One big problem is the formatting of the text of the message if the email has been sent formatted in HTML. When I send this to the description field in the Service Request, I get all the HTML formatting and the email is difficult to read. My preference would be to keep this formatting, but the description box is not html enables. That leaves me with getting just the plain text out of this and sending it. Does anyone know the method of converting this email info to plain text. Tag: Adventure Works MSCRM Tag: 83633

    - Sync Issues - outlook 2007 Ok, I've seen other people run into this, but it seems no-one has an answer to it: Symptoms: Your "Sync Issues" starts getting clogged with entries named "Synchronization Log" and with an error description "Error synchronizing message...". It happens whenever somebody else starts creating appointments and and uses the "track in crm". You get it every time your outlook tries to sync. with the Exchange server; on my laptop, around 2 mails/minute. You also get a copy of the calendar entry in the "Local Failures", virtually doubleing the number of entries. Last time i reviewed my Sync Issues folders, I had more than 100.000+ emails, causing Outlook to perform slowly (problem with large PST files). I'm using: - Outlook 2007 - Exchange 2003 - MS CRM 3.0 How to reproduce: Create calendar entry in your outlook 2007. When entry is open, click "track in CRM" and "Set regarding". After first exchange synchronization, the sync issues starts popping up in other peoples mails. -- Best regards, Lars FlÃ¸e Nielsen Solution Architect Tag: Adventure Works MSCRM Tag: 83632

    - Multiple price lists per quote When quoting, it would be helpful to be able to access all price lists for a customer, outside of their default list. This is particularly useful for short-term promotions, and would eliminate the need to create multiple versions of the same product across many lists. Ex: add new existing product, select from default list or click to the change price list, select product. Does anyone know if this function exists now, and I'm just missing it?

    - Quick Campaign Notes do not list in the contact directly Hi, I have no glue if I do make something wrong or this is by design: When I make notes to a contact within a quickcampaign this note is not in the history and it is also not in the main notes of the contact.

    - Design question - millions of records pushed against 'product'? A general design question - I'm working with a web search/aggregator company that generates millions of chargeable click events/month - say between $.10 and $1.00 per click, i.e., non-trivial valua. Each click is generated by a customer ad campaign that is defined in CRM. (Btw, I'm new to Dynamics CRM - but have worked with multiple other CRM platforms.) At present, in the last architecture we took these into a 'warehouse' and then built extracts on a monthly basis to take to Dynamics for invoicing - a very manual process. One idea going forward (with Dynamics CRM in the picture) is to take this click stream and map it back directly to the campaign (or 'product' in CRM) on a regular basis. This would allow direct access to campaign/product performance and much easier invoicing - and also future BI potential as well... 1) Any scalability problems with pushing millions of records/month into Dynamics accounting/CRM? This could easily be over 10M records/month 2) Any other thoughts, e.g., how the heck does one actually go about customizing 'product' into a much richer animal integrated with Dynamics acctg? -- Okay, probably out of scope for this question! :) Cheers - p Tag: Adventure Works MSCRM Tag: 83579
