Relabeling buttons

Does anyone know of a way that the "Sales - Sales Automation" button can be
modified so that it reads "Client Services"? Is there a particular file this
would need to be changed in or is this all hardcoded?

Thanks.

This information is stored in resource dll's. By doing this Microsoft have
the ability to target the app at different languages. If you read the
archive of this group on google at groups.google.com you will find that it
is possible to modify the resource file for Microsoft CRM. Bear in mind that
making this change is unsupported and therefore if you have any problems you
will be on your own.

That archive article helped greatly. Only now, I've changed the Sales button
and the Accounts buttons to be Client Service and Relationships. However,
when I go into the accounts and tell it to view My Active, Inactive, and
Active, the word Accounts is still in that rather than Relationships. I
searched the dll files and could not locate where the word "Accounts" was for
that to change it to Relationships as well. Any idea where that is? Is this
going to be in the aspx pages somewhere?

Thanks for your help.

its certainly possible that the words are hard coded into the asp pages
somewhere. Guess you have to keep digging. I know the ability to make these
changes ie change the words etc are needed by many companies but if your
company is putting you under pressure to hack the text strings around you
really need to point out that while it is "possible" you do not have all the
information therefore the fix should be considered a hack at best. It would
be great if the next release of crm had an admin page listed all the words
use in Microsoft CRM and allowed you to enter your own etc.

Best way to do this is to export the cusomizations to an XML make your
changes in the XML via XMLSpy or like program. Then import the XML.

BACKUP before you do anything though. Both the metabase and the CRM
database.
