    - Account History does not show in Account Detail menu When you zoom into a specific account, the menu on the left displays under Details the options of Information, More Addresses, Activites, and is SUPPOSED to show History. When anyone in our org opens the Account window, it briefly shows History in the right spot but then History disappears. No one can get it to appear. I have tried every imaginable security role modification and cannot get it to appear. I even created a new Security Role titled "Everything" and turned on access to every possible object entity to its fullest extent. After setting a user to this role, same results. How do I get the History sub-menu to appear in Accounts? Tag: Setup Tag: 89103

    - A data palette that stays on top for drag&drop items. The data palette is a small window that has a stay-on-top switch. On it items can be pasted. Then they can be dragged and dropped off while the palette remains on top. I am tired of switching back and forth copying small snippets of data and pasting them into fields over and over again. With a data palette I could load it with all the data for several fields in a spread sheed or database and then drag and drop individual items into the appropriate fields without switching back and forth or trying to size windows so they can be positioned side by side. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Lead Opportunity Hello, We are using MS CRM and it is working great. There is one thing we can not work around, unable to assign a Opportunity to a Lead. Is there any modification that we can do to perform this? The reason I ask is because we only want Active Customers in our Accounts/Contacts section, and leave all Leads/Prospects/Potential customers in Leads. It would be nice if there was a third account type called Prospect or Potential Customer, this isn't quite an Account, but is further along than a Lead. Yes I know the drop-down under Account has various different items like 'Potential' and 'Customer, but that would get confusing. Any ideas or are we just out of luck?

    - Case Notes We are working on our Case entity and have run into a question of capability. When our customer support team deals with a case there will be more than one Notes entry for each case. For each call they will have to put the End Time of their call since we bill support per phone call and not per case. Is there a way that can be calculated on the notes entry (the total duration of the call) according to the time stamp of when the note was created to the manual end time entry our support person enters at the end of the note. Or does anyone out there have a better solution to get a calculation of total time spent per phone call with the case?? Tag: Setup Tag: 89089

    - Case Activities Can anyone tell me how we can get an activity to show up in the Activity area of a case? When we create a new activity within a case it links to the contact or account by default. We want our activities that are created within the case to be linked to the case so that when we have the case open we can easily click on the Activities and all related activities pertaining to that particular case are right there. Instead, we are having to get out of the case and go to the Account and find them there. Very unproductive and doesn't make a lot of sense. Are we missing something? Tag: Setup Tag: 89085

    - CRM service unavailable I've been researching this and have read all the posts on it but nothing has fixed my issue. My CRM works perfectly until we run an integration which imports leads and creates lead activities, at that point a few records get integrated but then CRM slows down and eventually goes the Service Unavailable screen. I reset IIS and everything is fine again. I don't know where to go at this point in troubleshooting this any further. I'm confused as to why it only happens in the integration situation. Manually adding a lead and a lead activity does not affect CRM the same way as the integration. Prior to a few weeks ago the integration worked fine and no changes have been made since that time.

I can't find this error any place on the server and can't find anything around the internet about it.

    - Compare and Merge Two different CRM Instances We have two different CRM environments that we want to merge into one. My first step was to try and compare the different instances to see what the different were between them. I exported all of the customizations from each and performed a diff. Yuck. Since the customizations don't export the elements in the same order it looks like their are over 7,000 differences between the two files. Reality says that at best there may be 50-100. Is there any way to get these to output in the same order so that I can get a more realistic diff between them?

I'm just finishing up building a functionally similar integration for MS CRM and, while it is going to be a great product, the lack of any built in telephony integration support in CRM means it has to be bolted on and simply doesn't integrate as well.

    - Update Rollup 2 for CRM 3.0 and related questions Hi All, our chief of sales is now tired of CRM being slow, and crashing on clients whole time, and I got the task. :o) I started a little research on Internet and different forums, and I am planning to install the last updates (both server and client), to make sure that at least we are running the latest software. We have a dedicated CRM server that runs only CRM: (3.0.5300.0). Our clients are connecting to it both via web and via Outlook. (but primarily Outlook, when out of office - via VPN) We have these combinations of OS/Office installed on our clients: (everything is English-version with the latest patches via Microsoft Update) a.) XP + Office 2003 b.) XP + Office 2007 c.) Vista + Office 2007 Besides that, we are using a QuickSearch tool. For the moment we have pretty many problems with clients crashing, and have tried installing the latest V3C client on some machines. But there were no structure in that work, so now we end up in a situation where on some machines XP + Office 2007 combination works well, and on some others it doesn't. I decided to put some structure on the whole thing, and would like to start updating the server with the latest updates, and then clients. But here is where I have some questions: _______________________________________________________ 1 - is "Update Rollup 2" the latest update for CRM; are there additional patches afterwards, and where do I get them? 2 - should I install the server Update Rollup 2 first, and then the client one? (CRM3.0-KB927751-Server-ENU, CRM3.0-KB927751-Client-ENU) 3 - if I install the server Update Rollup 2 first, would the clients that don't have the Update Rollup 2 be working? 4 - should I install different client versions for Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007? 5 - which client version (Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 clients for Microsoft Office Outlook Compatibility Update) should I install, "On Premise" or "Service Provider Edition"? "Service Provider Edition" should be the newest (11.2007.) ... Is it an update for a client that is already installed, or could one install just the "Service Provider Edition" version on a machine without CRM client previously installed? If it is just an update, what client version should I install on the clients before the update itself? 6 - a question not related to the update: one can upload a report generated in Excel 2003, but not when generated in Excel 2007? _______________________________________________________ Is there a "best practices" document on the issue(s) which I could download and read before the whole project starts? Thanx in advance, Regards from Zoran Tag: Setup Tag: 88974

Hi,

Could you give a littlebit more information? Which are you trying to
achieve? Are you trying to make a startup CD to assist you in installing CRM
for Outlook at the PC's?

Best regards,

Thank for your prompt reply, I have difficulty in booting, vis a vis the
screen is black with the curser blinking in the top left hand corner. When I
turn off manually at the CPU tower switch I then restart & up comes the start
procedure.
What I would like to do is copy the strat routine & use it as a boot CD thus
avoiding the switch off/on.
Hope this makes sense
Thanks
Stuart
