    - IE does not display 'OK' and 'CANCEL' after Customization I have a MS CRM 3.0 client that has the following problem. He has got the SYSTEM CUSTOMIZER role assigned to him. When he tries to change the column widths for a view (under CUSTOMIZATION), he can change the various sizes (e.g. 75px, 100px, etc.), but the OK- and CANCEL button ARE NOT THERE (not greyed out, but totally gone). I have checked that he has sufficient rights to update these views (I logged into another PC with the same user ID, and the problem is not there on the other PC). He is running Windows XP SP2, IE6 (SP2). The problem is OBVIOUSLY with IE. Anyone got any ideas.? Tag: Excel Slow Opening Up Tag: 62375

    - Price Is Locked on Orders and Invoices When converting a quote to an order, the system is automatically locking the prices by setting the "Prices locked" check-box. I need to be able to modify the product lines at both the order and invoice stage (the prices locked flag carries forwards to the invoice as well). I have a number of generic items which are included as products on the order (Installation time, delivery charges...) which effectively remain incomplete until the final stages of the installation and I am ready to invoice the customer. The price locking stops me from altering the existing product lines. What are the conditions that cause the order to be marked as "Prices locked" and what can I do to over-ride this setting? Your help on this problem would be appreciated. Thanks Steve Tag: Excel Slow Opening Up Tag: 62372

    - MS CRM 3.0 - Error message displayed on entry to IE interface With MS CRM 3.0 fully installed, we're receiving an error as soon as we enter the system: "An Error has occured. For more information, contatc your system administrator" The error is displayed within the IE interface (that is, it isn't a javascript popup) and within the CRM frames (so we can see the top and left hand menues). However if we try and navigate anyqhere else in the system, the same message persists. Tag: Excel Slow Opening Up Tag: 62369

    - Confused with go offline and sync to outlook priviledges Please explain what happens when I let or deny users to use this priviledge. If I deny to go offline does that mean that user will never have copy of data on his notebook? Will I be able to go offline if sync to outlook is denied? Tag: Excel Slow Opening Up Tag: 62368

    - Server Application Unavailable Dear All, In one of our customer's site CRM 1.2 is implemented on the following environment: SBS 2003 (with relevant SPs) SQL Server 2000 (with relevant SPs) MS CRM 1.2 Exchange MS CRM intermittently gives "Server Application Unavailable" whenever I try to access CRM. All the services are running. No event logs. Although the error message says that an Application Event Log for the Web Server has been logged, I dont see any log in the Event Viewer. And moreover CRM also displays the authentication form before giving that error. That means the CRM Authentication service is working. Funnily enough the client gave me a call today morning that he is currently getting this error and none of the users are able to log in. I connected to the client site using VPN, tried accessing CRM and got that error. I had a look at the services. They were all running fine. I had a look at the Event Viewer. I found no logs. So finally I tried searching in google for similar scenarios. Found some and when I logged back in VPN to find that CRM is working again. I am stumped. Why did CRM stop serving the clients and how did it start serving again when neither me nor the client did anything on the server? Any guesses? Thanks and Regards Madhur Tag: Excel Slow Opening Up Tag: 62367

    - Wait Timers and Performance I want to know the performance effects Wait Timers have on the system. My workflow rule would kick off when a Case is created and then wait until a certain picklist value is selected. When a value is selected from a picklist in the Case, an email would fire off and the workflow would be finished. I could have 500 or more cases in a Waiting State at a time. So my question is; what kind of hit is the server going to experience? We are also running Great Plains here as well which is utilized nicely. Thanks much Tag: Excel Slow Opening Up Tag: 62351

When I open up the System Settings again it states "First Name Last Name" under the Name Format and it does not appear that I can change this. Has anyone else seen this before?

    - CRM 3.0 on a SBS 2003 I recently installed the above on a new server running SBS 2003 Premium Edition using the default installation. I have two issues. First the account for vendors is not created and I cannot access system settings. Second occurs when I try to run repair for the CD. I received the following error: An Existing SQL Server Reporting Services Server Cannot Be Found Cause Setup cannot find the specified existing SQL Server Reporting Services Server. The following are possible causes for this failure: â?¢ Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Server is not installed on the specified computer. â?¢ If your Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Server is installed on a different computer from your Microsoft CRM Server, then a network connectivity problem is preventing this test from completing. â?¢ You may not have sufficient privileges to the specified SQL Server Reporting Services Server. Solution Verify each of the following and then run setup again: â?¢ Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Server is installed on the specified computer. â?¢ If your Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Server is installed on a different computer from your Microsoft CRM Server, verify network connectivity. Verify that you have at least local administrative privileges on the SQL Server Reporting Services Server. The url [which is incorrect] is htts://office.domain.com/ReportServer which does not exist. The report server is located on the local c drive which is the default. What should the url be? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    - Add Existing Contacts to a Custom Entity or to an Account Hello. I have created a custom entity "Entity A" with a 1 to many referential relationship to Contacts. How can I attach more than 1 Existing Contact to an "Entity A"? It seems obvious that I can create several New Contacts and attach them, but I want to attach Existing Contacts from within the "Entity A" form. Accounts seem to behave the same way. It is easy to attach only 1 Existing Contact as the Primary Contact of an Account (through a contact lookup field); otherwise I can only create New Contacts. How can we attach several existing contacts to an "Entity A"? Thanks! Sarah Tag: Excel Slow Opening Up Tag: 62338

    - assigning of leads I am doing a CRM 3 implementation. I want to assign leads to a sales representative based upon how many leads they have disqualified and converted for that week. Our sales representatives are given a set amount of leads (could be 200, 175, or 150 leads). Scenario: Joe converts 5 of his leads to accounts and disqualifies 57 leads. The following Monday a Sales Manager would give/assign Joe 62 new leads. There is no territory or business workflow to automatically assign the lead. Also we have our leads sit for 21 days before we initiate follow up calls. I was thinking we would assign all new leads to a Sales Manager for later distribution. Any Ideas?

    - Accessing marketing lists in Outlook I know I am unable to do mail merge in the Web CRM. Is there a way to access the marketing list from CRM into the Outlook for CRM, to use the mail merge feature without having to look through all contacts. If I am able to pull them into Outlook, I can create folders designating the various lists to send my mail merge to. Also - looking at my contacts in Web CRM there are many duplicates, triplicates as they come from different lists, will this make a difference to the tracking? -- Thanks, kch Tag: Excel Slow Opening Up Tag: 62324

    - When contacts are associated to multiple Companies I was hoping someone can give me some ideas on best practices for this situation: We are recording cases and when possible defining the customer field as a contact. Many times, consultants will call in for a company requesting support. We want to track the case as associated to the Account they are calling from as well as the true person who is calling in. A consultant would work for a company other than the one they are representing. Right now I am having to create that person more than once in order to associate the case to the caller/contact and the account that they are representing when they call in. I thought about using the field responsible contact, but that will not allow me to select the contact and see cases from the contact entity. I hate that I have to duplicate the person at multiple companies in order to see the case from both the account and contact perspective. How are other people handling this?

    - Considering Microsoft CRM 3.0 The company I work for is considering upgrading CRM and Microsoft's CRM 3.0 is one we are considering. I thought instead of sales guys telling me what I want to hear, I'd ask the people who use it every day. If anyone could offer any opinions on the following, it would be greatly appreciated. -Importing data from a previous (non-Microsoft) CRM. Currently we use Clientele by Epicor (SQL back end) -How does the application handle multiple languages? Also secondly, how does programmatic modifications get translated to the new languages? -Limits. We currently have 40,000+ contacts in our current system. Has anyone seen significant speed hits because of large amounts of data? -Duplicates. Is there a merging function or is it a deletion of one or the other? Also is there any mechanism to try to prevent duplicates from being entered? -Data mining. I've done some research and I though I saw that this has the ability to use SQL Reporting Services as the report engine. Does it also provide any sort of generic reporting tools for non-sql-savvy users to create any sort of metrics or reports? -Sales milestones. Does the application have the ability to identify the progression of the lead as it follows the sales process. Also is there off the shelf ability for events to trigger off the attaining of certain milestones? -Marketing campaigns. Does the application have the ability to track budget cost, actual cost, all the events within, progress of events within, responsibility of, etc... I guess the true question is how robust is the marketing campaign feature of the application -Remote users. We have 50+ mobile users that are available to be working online 80% of the time (in the future, this will include global users outside of the US. How has performance been? Has there been issues with synchronization of data. Also how does the application handle someone working offline and changing a contact while someone else changes the contact. How does the application handle deciding who's right? Thank you for all your feedback. Nathaniel Tag: Excel Slow Opening Up Tag: 62307

    - CRM, SQL and Exchange. Hi all, I am guessing that this is un-supported but I couldn't find in the IG anywhere where is says definatly one way or the other. So I thought I would ask the question just in case I am wrong. - SQL 2000, SRS, EXCHANGE 03 and CRM v3 on the one Enterprise 03 server - DC on a different server. I know that it is do-able as we have tested it sucessfully but more looking to whether it is a supported environment or not. Any insights/comments appreciated.

    - Contract Hi there, Is it possible to change a Contract Status after it has been set to Invoiced? The reason I ask is that currently our Projects have the following status; not complete complete approved for invoicing invoiced In CRM I will use Contracts as our projects. However, we need to know the status of the Contract (i.e. if a developer has completed work on a Contract line the Contract status should be set to complete). The status will also allow me to display a report for say "All Contracts with a status of Approved for invoicing" which will allow the Accounts to write up an Invoice for the Contract. Does this seem a normal scenario or maybe there are other ways CRM provides for this functionality? ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Contract Lines and Invoices When a Contract Line is complete for a Contract and we need to bill for the Contract, what is the best practise with the Invoices system within CRM 3.0? There seems to be no relation with Contracts and Invoices? I thought that by "Invoicing" a contract it would appear in the Invoices area in CRM?

    - Incoming Email from Router Hi All, I am facing a typical CRM issue that our emails with CRM token with them are not directly reaching inside CRM, but when in outlook we click track in CRM it does. I have read and searched the newsgroup and found many answers & solutions to this issue and have tried them all (the ones i found) but still no success. following is what i have already done: (*) installed the router (*) installed and run the deployment wizard for the forwarding rule in users mailboxes. (*) have entered the CRMEmailEnabled attribute to the users exchange advance custom attributes. (*) the users setup in AD and exchange setup is all okay and was working before the CRM was setup. (*) the settings available in user preferences regarding email tracking are also marked to recv emails in CRM. as a user (the admin user) i am sending emails to dummy leads that i have created with google email accounts. i can see the token in the subject line and when i reply back i get them in my outlook and not in CRM, but when i press Track in CRM it does gets into the CRM. my questions are: (*) is there anything else to do with CRM setting or AD setting or Exchange setting ? (*) I read somewhere in the newsgroup that if the token prefix is changed from the Organization settings then this tracking issue arrises and to solve this i need to isntall the patch, could this be the problem as our prefix has changed by the boss !. (*) how can i trace where the problem is ? Regards Ashfaq Ali CRM & GP Consultant Tag: Excel Slow Opening Up Tag: 62267

    - State and status code for customize entity Hi, Last time my user wanted to capture info regarding entertainment expense associate with the opportunity. This has been accomodated by creating new entity. When the opportunity is closed either won/lost, the entertainment expense associate to that opportunity must be change also its status. I have noticed that statecode in opportunity is defined either open, won or lost. However the statecode in customize entity is either active or deactivate. Question: 1. Can the state code for customize entity be changed so the value will represent the same value as opportunity state code? how to do that? What i am thinking is that if both value in statecode are the same, maybe i can map both entities. However i am not sure also whether after mapping the change status from opportunity will be taken into expense form or not. Or any better workaround here? Carrie Tag: Excel Slow Opening Up Tag: 62265

    - Workflow rule - Insert Action - Create Note issue When I create a workflow rule using Insert Action "Create Note" it executes fine, but when I come to view these in Notes, the entry line says these notes are created by me, rather than the record owner. I when open the note it shows the correct title and subject, but in the main notes view it shows my name. So it seems that the Workflow uses the Owner of the Rule (whoever created the rule) as the owner of the entity instance the rule creates. Has anyone come across this before? Am I missing something when setting up the workflow rule? Thanks Kirsten Tag: Excel Slow Opening Up Tag: 62257

Hi,
I have installed CRM 3 Snap! and found Excel takes extra long to open up
each time. Would anyone knows any way to overcome this problem? I have a
WinXP Pro PC with P4 2.4Ghz CPU, 1Ghz Ram, and don't think it is a hardware
resource issue.

Thanks!
