Custom Fields
I am interested in creating fields within the CRM so that
if I have a customer that I am about to quote to, and I
find that they have other equipment that I want to store
in the CRM ... tied with the customer ... can I create
these fields and allow them to be searchable? Tag: Modify Resolve Case Tag: 8402
Scrollbars within navigation tabs
I have created a new tab on the account form's left nav
bar that calls out to a custom web form. My problem is
that scrollbars do not appear in these custom tabs -
unlike the built in tabs. I have tried to
pass "scrollbars=1" in the WinParams parameter in
isv.config but this didn't work either. Does anyone know
how I can get scrollbars to appear in my custom tabs?
Thanks in advance for your help.

e-commerce solution
I need some advice on what direction I should go in to
create an online catalog of products that are searchable
and interactive so a customer can enter details of what
they are looking for and continue entering info to end up
with a very specific part. My company manufactures
thousands and thousands of parts. Present catalog was
created in Pagemaker 6.5 and then converted in PDF's.
However, there is no existing database. Any suggestions
would be appreciated. Tag: Modify Resolve Case Tag: 8394

setting fields on forms to not editable
Hello,
I want to make the Account number field on the Account form not editable,
just like the Project number on the Case form. Does anyone here know how to
do this? I compared the attributes in the deployment manager, and they look
the same, just like the properties on the form designer.
I am going to use these fields to store Customer and Case numbers from an
external application, and so I don't want users to be able to change the
values.
Thanks,
Daniel. Tag: Modify Resolve Case Tag: 8388
8000 byte row limit blown while adding fields to Microsoft CRM Account object.
Hi all
My customer has requested a great deal of customisation on their CRM
implementation, particularly the Account object.
As such, around 40 new fields have been added to the account object
via the Deployment Manager.
Unfortunately, we are at the point now where additional fields cannot
be added, due to us reaching the 8000 byte row limit of SQL Server!
The message in the event log is as follows: 'dmLog: New size of the
attribute ({B806C9CD-554F-4BA6-80C2-0906640276BE}) exceeds the SQL
Server row limit of 8000 bytes.'
This really leaves us in a bit of a pickle, because:
a) We now cannot add any more fields to the account object.
b) We cannot undo, delete or modify any of the previously added custom
fields - they're stuck there (so we can't free up space that way)!
In short - we're stuck with what we've got and can't go forwards or
backwards.
Can anyone suggest any methods of working around this issue - as luck
would have it we are only one field short, but it's very limiting for
the future if we're stuck with this limit.

manipulating CRM database directly
Hi,
I would like to create a program to access the crm metabase database for
updating the callout subscriber settings.
Currently the metabase database name is adventure_cylcle_works_metabase.
How can i get the database name for the same for any crm installation.
Will it be of the pattern <<CRM_Organization_Name>>_Metabase
In that case where and how will I get the name of the organization.
I guess, from the active directory. If so what is the attribute that i need
to ask for.
it would be great if I get the connectionstring for crm metabase database
using with the SqlConnection object
hope somebody have understood my problem.
thanks in advance

Error loading CRM folders in Outlook 2003
I'm currently testing CRM in an SBS 2003 domain running

Sales on a client with Outlook 2003. It states: "Error

error in the event logs and CRM seems to work anyway, but
I'm still in the early parts of testing to I'm sure I

Sales for Outlook Install problem
I am trying to install the Sales for Outlook on a client
machine and it gives me this error:
"An error has occured prematurely"
This error happens right at the end of the install, and
then proceeds to roll back the installation. This is a
Windows XP SP1 machine with Office 2000. Office Service
Pack 3 has been applied as well as the special outlook
fixpack. The account is set up with local administrator
authority.
According to the documentation, everything should be fine
as far as prereq's are concerned.
I did notice that this machine has the db2 runtime client
on it. this is used for IBM's Content Manager client.
however there are no db2 services running during the
install.

see a log file? Tag: Modify Resolve Case Tag: 8312
