Customizing activities

Hi,

Is there any way to customize the Activity forms in CRM? We would like to
edit the existing activity forms, as well as add custom activities.

You can obviously edit and extend the schema using Deployment Manager, but
as far as I understand there's no way to edit the actual form in CRM ->
Settings -> System Customization. There are also a few fields in the default
schema that, as far as I can see, aren't used in the activity forms.

Regards,
Jørn

OK, I understand there is no supported way to do this.

if you read the archive of this group at groups.google.com you will find
unsupported ways to add to activity forms etc. Microsoft has stated on this
group the Microsoft CRM 2005 will have full customization for all things
activity related- woohoo!!!

At Collins Computing we've written code that will let each user design their
own Acitivity Grids as they wish to see it. Also they can Complete Calls
with Radio Button Choices for consistency. I can let you demo this code as
you wish. I know it is what you are looking for.

Contact me, Steve Lewis a (949)297-5666 or email me at
stlewis@collinscomputing.com for more information.
