How to access MSCRM from VB6/COM
Hello,
Has anyone a code sample of using VB6 and COM to access MSCRM?
I have linked the Microsoft.CRM.ComProxy.tlb file as a reference to my VB
project,
but I don't have the Url and Credential properties on the objects. The calls
do not succeed, so I imagine it has to do with those properties.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

diffrent. Has anybody had any sucess with this?
Thanks

Default Website folder
Can anyone help me with this?
The CRM website didn't show up when I installed MS CRM.
Tech support helped me change the port number so that it
would display.
But, now my company website doesn't come up on the CRM
server. How do I reinstall CRM website into a different
default folder.

Delete e-mail activity under workplace = delete activity on the contact?
Situation: If I send an e-mail to a person (Let's assume he is Mr. A) in
CRM contact, normally, we can find that e-mail activities under "Activities"
of "Workplace" or we can find related activities in Mr. A's contact (Mr. A's
contact--> Activities-->History).
Here is the issue, if I delete the Mr. A's e-mail activities under
workplace, it will also delete the e-mail activity history on his contact.
My boss was told that there is some methods to avoid this (i.e. The e-mail
activities history of Mr. A can be saved to his CRM contact locally and we
can still delete the activity under workplace). Isn't it true?

Accounts & Sub-Accounts
Hello,
I have create 2 accounts. One of those accounts is actually the sub-account
to the other account (the parent). In the sub-accounts section of the
accounts screen, I can only create a new sub-account. How do you tie an
existing account as a sub-account to another existing account?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Printing Memo fields
When I print memo fields in a custom form, all the formatting of the text is
lost. Is there a way to retain the formatting when I print?
While we are on the subject, is there a way to change the default size of
the memo field on the form. I would like to make it larger.
Thanks,

Data migration from MSDN Subscriber License to Production License
Hi everyone,
Does Microsoft have a tool to migrate data from testing MSDN
Subscriber license to Production?
I set up a test server with 5 Suite Pro license with OU as MSDN
Subscriber. We input a lots of data in it. Since the MSDN license
could not be extended. We need more user access to the system. We
applied new license (5 suite standard, free from Partnership and 5
additional if the migration works) under our company name.
1. I tried to reinstall the CRM that connect to existing database on
the testing server by following the uninstall procedure on
implementation guide. It does not change anything except the reporting
part is screwed. It does not give me the options to re-specify the OU
name. While I started this process, I realized this was a wrong move
because the SQL database uses the MSDN_Subsriber_mscrm as database
name. I started looking for migration tools.
2. I can not find a tool to export the CRM data within the CRM
interface. The Online Help, it says there is a wizard to export data
to Excel files without saying where and how.
3. I setup another server to see if I could migrate data from SQL
server database by using import (DTS). I setup the new server with
new license. I tried to move all the table data without objects (the
first choice at DTS) from MSCRM database, I got lots of Primary
key/foreign key constraint issue to prevent the move on many key
tables. If I move the MSCRM SQL database with objects, I could move
the entire database but the MSDN license moved to the new system as
well, although the database name stayed with our new OU name. I am
afraid of that I have to drop the constraint on each table to move the
data over. That might be too much. It still may not work at the end
because of SID or unique ids, etc.
4. I found the Data Migration Framework on Microsoft web and went
through the white paper. It looks like there is no words on CRM to CRM
migration and you would have thought that were there.
Please if you have any insight about how to make this work, it would
be highly appreciated!

Microsoft CRM in mixed NT 4 and Windows 2000 Network
I have installed Microsoft CRM as suggested in Chapter 10 of the
Microsoft CRM Implementation Guide:
-- Company currently uses NT 4 network (Domain1)
-- We set up a new server with AD (Domain2), SQL, Exchange, and CRM
-- I installed the sample data along with MS CRM
-- I set up Domain2 to trust Domain1
-- For each of the 5 users in Domain2, I went to their Properties /
Security tab and added their Domain1 logins with full control
-- Also, for each of the 5 users in Domain2, I went to their
Properties / Exchange Advanceed and added their Domain1 logins with
full mailbox access
I have been able to configure profiles for the users that connect to
their mailbox on Domain2 just fine while logged into Domain1.
However, the users can not access the web interface of CRM, or install
the Sales for Outlook plug-in on their computers.
When trying to access the web interface, they get the error message
0x80040226, "The logged-in user was not found in the Active
Directory." I have verified that anonymous access is disabled on the
web server. I changed one of the computers to Domain2, and can
successfully get onto the CRM web interface, so I know it is working;
there's obviously something that I'm missing with my configuration,
though.
When trying to install the Sales for Outlook plug-in, I get the
message that CRM can not be found at the url that I provided. Once
again, when I move the computer into Domain2, I can install it fine.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Deployment Manager: fails to get LayoutXML
After many successful publishings, we are suddenly experiencing an error
when publishing from the Deployment Manager. The application event log
error states "Failed to get LayoutXML for object type __" and happens for
any object. We're currently trying to publish changes to Incidents and
Opportunities, but I've also tested using objects we've made no changes to.

E-mail address could not be resolved to a record in the system
When I send a message to one of my contact, lead, or account, the recipient
receives my e-mail with no problem. However, when the recipient replies my
e-mail and I read that e-mail in CRM. His name will be in red color, and I
will see this message too
"The sender's e-mail address could not be resolved to a record in the
system"
In other words, CRM doesn't recongize his e-mail address in the contact
automatically. Is there anyway to fix it?
Note: When I send the message to the recipient, I didn't put his contact
into "Regarding" field. However, when he replies, not only his e-mail
address is not recongize and his contact will be added in "Regarding" field.
Is it how CRM is designed currently?

Error Code 80041A01 Meaning
I'm receiving this error when I attempt to set a
pricelevelid during the creation of a product:
ErrorCode: 80041A01
A field that is not valid for create was specified.
I am certain the correct GUID is being passed in the xml
representation of the product.
Does this error mean that we are not permited to set price
levels during creation? Or is something else wrong?

Conversion problem
Hello all,
When I enter a new Lead in CRM, and I convert the Lead to an Account, a
Contact and an Opportunity, some fields (with content) are not 'transfered';
after I look into the new Contact/Account/Opportunity I see empty boxes.
The corresponding fields (on the different forms) point to exactly the same
'schema-names', but somehow the data is not copied from the LeadAddressBase
table to the CustomerAddressBase table.
Has anyone experienced the same problem, and if so, how did you solve it?
