    - Updating ActivityPointers As part of a data migration I am attempting to update the regardingobjectid on a number of ActivityPointer records. I tried to do it in a similar way to how I modified some incidents: CrmService.Retrieve(), make modifications to the returned object and then call CrmService.Update() passing to it the ActivityPointer object but I received the following SoapException: Message: Server was unable to process request. InnerText: The method being invoked does not support provided entity type. I cannot find any documentation or examples in the SDK on modifying ActivityPointers. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Tag: Reporting Tag: 70677

    - Accessing products off-line Hi, Facing the following issue. Company sells products. Every country has its own products, so country specific products exist. Loading them all into MS CRM is an option. However, since ' real' sales objects such as quotes, orders and or invoices are not used, there is no real need to put them in. On a new entity, however, a link to a ' product' is needed, so we used an itermediate entity to lookup a product and thus create (fake) a many to many relationship. There are to many clicks needed to fulfill this task as sometimes many products need to be linked to this new entity. What might be the solution for this? Linked picklist that check on the user's and or customer's country and then prepopulates a country specific picklist which eliminates the values in another picklist is one option. Does anyone have some ideas? Of course, off-line availability is one of teh challenges.. M Tag: Reporting Tag: 70674

    - no mails sent Hi all, I got a little problem with my CRM-System last week. I tried to put some workflows in there where I get a mail when some work is to do (details doesn't matter here). This worked fine for exactly one automatic sent mail. But now, I can't send _any_ mails from the CRM so I seem to broke something. Can somebody tell me where I can take a look (log-files, event-log, ...) to check and analyse the error? Sascha Tag: Reporting Tag: 70670

    - Using the Competitor entity Guys, I'm trying to figure out what to do. The MS-CRM competitor entity treats the competitor as is, whereas, i feel like it's important to be able to really see what products does he has and which one is competing (againt me) in a certain opportunity. Did anyone faced the same? I tried to bypass it by creating a new entity call "competitor products" (becuase the products that show on the competitor drill down are my products) and i hooked it up to the opportunity entity. However, the problem is that i need to be able to "choose" the competing product in the opportunity, rather than adding it... any thought will be appreciated Tag: Reporting Tag: 70664

    - Report chart order I have 5 picklist attributes that I want to display along the x axis of a chart in my report. I can't sort by obvious methods (i.e. by data value of the picklist or by alphabetical order of the names) as these still produce data that is in the wrong order for my purposes. I know I could rename everything in the picklist to have a prefix 1, 2, 3 etc, but I'm not really too keen on this. Is it possible to explicitly define where I want each value on the x axis?

The first flakey issue I have is that the Outlook Laptop client DOES NOT like closing down while online. I have had several instances in the past where I was lucky to get sync back at all. 2. NOW I HAVE LOST SYNC completely. In fact, none of the CRM toolbar features or even the CRM Menu choices work at all when selected. The real BUSINESS issue is that I had been working offline for over a week now and since I cannot sync my offline data back up to the CRM server I am in desperate means. - I am able to access the CRM web client OK - All CRM offline features work, although periodically I get AUTHENICATION errors that never appeared before. - Install Windows ONE CARE trial, although this issue seems to have been there before the ONE CARE install - MSDE CRM is running both SQL and SQL Agent - CRM about Toolbar icon also does not function - Outlook Detect and Repaired OK WHAT HAS HAPPENED. Can anyone help, at least to retrieve my offline data without having to rekey data. DAMN the OUTLOOK LAPTOP CLIENT! -- Regards, Joe Fenninger, MCSA Tag: Reporting Tag: 70599

    - Remove "convert Lead" action menu Hi There... We're ready now to start using the leads in crm but because the "convert lead" button enables the sales persons to basically by-pass all the required fields in either accounts, contact or opportunities, we have decided to remove this feature in leads... Now I found a script that, when executed on the "OnLoad" of the form removes the "convert lead" Button... here's the script : -> document.getElementById("_MBconvertLead").style.display="none"; BUT this does not remove the action "Convert Lead..." from the menus.... How can I do this ???? Please Help...! Thanks. S. Tag: Reporting Tag: 70589

    - Upgrade pains... Hi all, I'm trying to upgrade from CRM 1.2 to CRM 3.0. I'm getting an error that says the "database is not published for merge replication"... Which sounds like a really dumb error (and check to make), because 3.0 doesn't even use replication! If anybody has come across this one and has a solution I'd be most grateful. (I've tried republishing, removing replication totally, even running the script at the end of the upgrade white paper to 'eliminate replication' hangover issues...

    - Using crm:5555 rather than a custom hostheader All I would just like to know what's the recommended solution for a CRM (v3) deployment:- use the standard crm:5555 or a custom hostheader e.g. crm.mycompany.net. Will the custom hostheader cause me any problems? Will external users be able to logon remotely using this host header? Many thanks, Nick. Tag: Reporting Tag: 70573

    - Increasing CRM Idle Timeout - Forms based authentication - How ? We are using crm in a hosted environment - with forms based authentication. How can the default timeout of 10-20 minutes be increased?? I have increased the 'session state' timeout, but it does not help. Users still have to re-login after 20 mins of innactivity. Thanks!!!
