    - CRMWorkFlowService.exe (CRM 3.0) Hi all, I've noticed that CRMWorkFlowService.exe never closes it's DB connections, so after a few weeks, I can have up to 1909 db connections to the SQL server (easily seen both on the DB server and with TCPView from Syinternals). If I restart IIS and all the CRM services (including CRMWorkFlowService.exe), then the CRMWorkFlowService.Exe no longer connects to the DB, which results in forms such as ACCOUNT to take several minutes to load... A reboot of both the IIS and the SQL server seems to be the only solution, but that is not really a good solution (and from my IT manager's point of view, unacceptable). Has anyone else encountered this situation, and possibly found a solution (other than rebooting)? -- Cheers and thanks, Martin MCAD .net Tag: Error adding and deleting entities and attributes Tag: 98957

I eventually removed any if statement on the word mail merge and the quote format looked fine except that if the quote has multiple line items then multiple pages are diplayed. I am aware that if I use { MERGEFDIELD "LastItem" = 1} then all line items are suppose t obe displaying on one page. Any ideas would be highly appreciated.

Somehow, this is no longer working in CRM 4.0; the workflow fires succesfully with nor errors, but the (short) message is never received.

But when I send a mail to that customer, the customer doesn't receipt the mail, but the customer's history shows as completed those mails. The second Exchange Server relays all mails to the first Exchange on the organisation. Any idea to put to work the mail?

    - Email retention policy relative to CRM e-mails tracked from Outloo Toss up question for the blue team. When one hits "Track in CRM" on an e-mail from outlook we all know that it CREATES an e-mail in the CRM system. The date that the e-mail is created in CRM is placed in the field CreatonDate. When we look at the related record it shows up in order based on the Created Date. The rub is this. What do we do when we have a user who is just coming on board with CRM and they have e-mail history they want to link that goes back years. There does not seem to be any linking relative to the received date. Which is actually much more relevant than create on date, especially if we are trying to recreate a communication trail that goes back several years. According to the CRM data it would seem as if all the e-mail came over today, and not when we actually received them. I have done several migrations from GoldMine to CRM and I have used the Actualend in the ActivityPointer. But Outlook does not map there. So has anyone ever tackeled this issue or have any suggestions. Some of our clients have data retention policies where they can not keep electronic for longer than 3 years. So this is a real issue for anyone migrating e-mail history into CRM in the Law or Accounting business in the USA. -- --------------------------- Pierre Hulsebus - CRM Consultant http://www.ehtc.com/ehtc/infuse.htm Certified Integration Between Microsoft CRM to Microsoft Solomon ---------------------------- Tag: Error adding and deleting entities and attributes Tag: 98903

    - CRM 4 Outlook Client Fails to Connect I'm trying to connect some of my laptop users using the Outlook client for CRM, but I have been unsuccessful. These users are not on Active Directory and only use local accounts. The problem is that when I try to setup the client, I get a message that says: "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized." It never prompts me for a username and password, so this doesn't entirely surprise me. I can launch CRM in IE, at which point it prompts me for a password and let's me in, but I really want this integrated with Outlook. Any ideas?

    - Accessing GP Data from CRM Remotely Hello, My company is using GP10 and CRM 4.0, and we had created a number of SQL reports for sales people, that access the GP10 database. A previous Dynamics vendor integrated these into CRM for us via the following: Buttons were created in the isv.config file under the Accounts pane, so that if you open an account, click one of the custom report buttons, it runs an asp script that queries to find the GPID for that account and passes that as a parameter to a link to the SRS server, to pull up the relevant GP report. This works great in house, even though I'd love to find a superior method to accomplish this that would be more supported by MS, as I've heard this is an "unsupported customization". Obviously, if a sales person out of the country or out of the office connects up to the web interface of CRM, which is set up using port forwarding and actually works pretty well in CRM 4.0, if they click on those buttons it will link to internal addresses to the reports on the in house report server. Needless to say, they can't access the reports or data this way. Our controller went to Convergence and is convinced that Sharepoint is the answer to this and any number of other issues; we have a basic WSS 2.0 install that came on our Small Business Server 2003 box. Particularly on this point...I'm quite confused on how exactly Sharepoint can do this. As I said we're on WSS 2.0 and Office 2003, and can't immediately upgrade. Can someone clarify, if they understand, what exactly Sharepoint could do to integrate data from GP into CRM, particularly with CRM accessed via the remote web interface? Our fix for this currently is Terminal Server, which has worked fine for some time, but our office in Germany is struggling with frequent dropped connections.

    - what kind of workflow? I need a workflow rule that will automatically trigger 'Yes" from a new attribute I created (boolean / yes or No) depending on whether a user chooses a specific word from that dropdown list - 'ABC'. I have created the boolean attribute and added a column in the main Active Accounts view. I put js behind the OnSave for the form properties that indicates if they choose 'ABC' show Yes. I created a manual workflow rule that depending on if the specific field is chosen, should make my new attribute field read "Yes". Once I run the apply rule in the Accounts view, it initially worked in the view, but once the user goes back in and chooses another item in the list, the system still reads "yes". NOTE: I believe one of the problems is that the field's dropdown list is dependent upon another key field's choice from the user...e.g., Field1 - if user chooses "Group", then Field2 shows up with the drop down list. In other words, I believe that when the user initially chooses 'ABC' from Field2 (after having chosen Group in Field1), the system sees 'ABC' for that field; when the user goes back into the account and chooses Field3, then an item from Field4, the system still sees Field2 having 'ABC' associated with it. I need the rule to work whenever the user CHANGEs. Does that make sense? Any help would be appreciated. Tag: Error adding and deleting entities and attributes Tag: 98885

I had upgraded my CRM 3 to version 4. After the upgrade we are unable to add
or delete entities and attributes. I have turned on developer errors, but
everytime we only receive a generic "an error has occured" message. So I then
wiped the box clean from the OS up and then installed a clean version of CRM
4. I then imported the custom entities that were developed on CRM 3 and
upgraded to CRM 4 previously. Everything was working fine until recently, but
now we are having the same problem again. Has anyone had this problem before
and what was done to resolve it?
