    - Auto-Populating Field in CRM I have added a field to the Accounts table for capturing the Moody's Credit Rating. Currently, we have this information stored in a different system. I would like to do a nightly refresh of the information from our external system directly into CRM via SQL Server. Are there any issues I need to consider writing a script to perform this action. Keep in mind that I will only be updating a CUSTOM field on the addressbase table. Specifically, I am wondering if there are any triggers on the table that might cause issues if I update these items. I would like to do this directly through the database (which I realize is not technically supported, but we are talking about a custom field here), and not need to resort to the much slower SDK route. Thank you, Paul McBride Tag: Using MS CRM with Hosted Exchange Tag: 33143

    - attaching documents that are "links" (to the real files) Hi, I made a link to a document file and attached the "link file" to a ..let's say account note to see what happens. Uploaded that. Seems that the original file (the document itself) gets uploaded, not the link to it. Someone asked for the possibility to load and distribute only links to documents, the latter residing in a central folder structure (on an a server accessible to people..). Any suggestion on how to handle this? Regards, Achim Tag: Using MS CRM with Hosted Exchange Tag: 33140

    - External Email Routing I'm looking for a workaround to resolve the issue with CRM only receiving from external emails. We have multiple support email addresses for our customers and I could set up multiple queues to receive their emails but it will be a monitoring nightmare for our small admin team. So, I thought I could have all the support addresses routed to one single support address and have one queue in CRM. Unfortunately routing to the one email address means it becomes an internal email which it doesn't recognise. Does anyone know of a way to set up an email address as external so that I can route all support emails into the one queue. It would make monitoring easier and it would save having to change all our customers to using the one email address.

    - Some people can't promote from sent items We have one user that's getting an error trying to promote from sent items: "An error occurred while trying to promote the e-mail. Try again." Now, I've read enough threads to know that it can't / shouldn't be done. Problem is, everyone else can promote from their sent items, including me.

Now, as the Sales for Outlook User want's to open any Object (e.g. Accounts -> doubleclick on an account) he receives an error message "An error has occored.

    - Realistic Data Migration Costs A client of mine was quoted $4,300 to migrate 2,500 records from a system which could export to .txt files. The only consideration from a straight import data view point, was that each Contact was related to an Account. The only details which were required to be imported were contact details (address, phone, mobile etc) and the association with the parent company. To my way of thinking, this is a serious design flaw of MSCRM if it requires this amount of work, to simply show the link between the contact and the account - am I missing something??? It would have ben far cheaper I know to use Scribe. I would rally, really really appreciate some feedback here on what the implications of using the DMF are, and if there are some guidlines. If you have 1,000 otherwise flat records to import, but need to import their Account relationship - how long would this take?

    - Button functionality in RS Manager Apologies right away if this is a dumb question - I've cast about t'internet looking for any references and, not finding them, wound up here looking for assistance. Working in RS Manager, having uploaded report files, when trying to set a shared data source, clicking the Browse button results in nothing happening - no status bar action, no spinning IE globe, just button down, button up, no actions firing. Seems to be the same with the Change Location button when creating a linked report too, if that shows any consistency. If I edit a folder and click Move, I get the tree view of my folders and am able to move a folder, which I'm guessing is using the same kind of action. Any thoughts, greatly appreciated. -- Paul.

    - Setting Up Sales Processes BACKGROUND: I'm wanting to create sales processes that have NO ACTIVITIES automatically assigned . . . I just want the reps to update the sales stage as it moves along. And I know the sales rep can manually move it along even if there are activities, but I would have to create a lot of unnecessary "pseudo" activities. QUESTION: So, how would I go about creating a 4 stage sales process that is COMPLETELY dependant on the sales rep, not whether or not activities are done? When I tried to do this by creating a 4 stage manual process, the opportunity was just automatically updated all the way through to the end because there were no "wait" conditions. -- Brandon Smith IT Director Presentations Direct - Specialized Office Equipment & Supplies http://www.presentationsdirect.com Tag: Using MS CRM with Hosted Exchange Tag: 33035

    - Change Cascade Behavior for Assign/Share in CRM2.0 - Your input ne I have read through postings in the newsgroup and also talked in person with a few partners on problems with current product behavior with Assign, Share or Set Parent operations. The new user gets access to all related records that is not what is desired in many situations (closed orders, opportunities, quotes, appointments shouldn't change owners for example). We are in the midst of considering a design change for this behavior. I would like to solicit your feedback to help us resdesign the behavior to meet majority of customer needs. Do customers want to change cascade behavior as a matter of policy for their business? Eg - When an account gets reassigned, opportunities don't. When an account gets reassigned, only active/open related items get assigned. etc.. Or Do customers want to change cascade behavior more on case-by-case basis. Eg - if a user X leaves, their accounts A, B & C gets reassigned without any related records, accounts D & E gets reassgined along with all open related records... Unless there is a strong feedback against it, we currently are considering the designs for first case above as the second case has broader change impact and ease of use concerns (would end-users be happy with having to make this choice everytime they want to assign or share a record?)

    - Formatting phone numbers in CRM via background service I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to get a whole lot of phone numbers formatted correctly in CRM. We have ~90,000 accounts and ~110,000 contacts in our database. Looking at the account and contact schemas, I'm seeing 24 fields that may need to be formatted: Account -telephone1 -telephone2 -telephone3 -fax -address1_telephone1 -address1_telephone2 -address1_telephone3 -address1_fax -address2_telephone1 -address2_telephone2 -address2_telephone3 -address2_fax Contact -telephone1 -telephone2 -telephone3 -fax -address1_telephone1 -address1_telephone2 -address1_telephone3 -address1_fax -address2_telephone1 -address2_telephone2 -address2_telephone3 -address2_fax Now, pulling all of these records with 12 fields each using a CRMQuery object (SDK) is pretty much out of the question. Every query I put together either times out or throws some other error. What I want to know is if I can go straight into the AccountBase, ContactBase, and CustomerAddressBase tables and modify the values there instead of pulling/updating them using a CRMQuery object. I would set this job up as a Windows service and let it run every few days to keep all of the phone numbers formatted correctly.

Is it possible to run MS CRM in-house and continue to use a Hosted Exchange
architecture ? I suspect it would require an additional Exchange server
in-house and on the same domain as the CRM/SQL Servers, and would Small Bus
Server 2003 Premium be capable of providing this as a cost-effective
solution? Are there restrictions built into SBS in this respect ?

The next logical step is to see if a hosted exchange provider
(multi-tennanted) can work with a different hosted MSCRM provider (dedicated
box per client, presumably) to provide a full CRM/Email solution to a client.
My experience so far is that HExch providers do not do CRM, and HCRM
providers do not do HExch - hence this scenario.
Any thoughts / experiences on this ?
Thanks

The best way to provide a full Hosted CRM/Exchange solution to a client
would be to use SBS2003 to host it. It would have to be more of a co-lo
scenario than hosting.
