    - Customizing Pick list values in forms We are having trouble seeing our changes to forms and their pick list values. We have added the custome values in system customizations and saved them but when we go into CRM we don't see the values we added to the drop down. Do we need to "publish" these changes some way. I'm sure it is something simple we are missing I'm just not seeing it. An example would be under leads. We want to add customized lead sources to the field under the details tab.

    - making money IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk -- it really works! If all the following instructions are Adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE; Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be Yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue it's success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists.  Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income, which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4 easy steps to success: Step 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each Piece of paper: 'PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Your name and Address, and $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS S ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and You are paying for it! Like most of us, I was a little skeptical and little Worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with U. S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: #1)A. Laskowska P.O. BOX 714 Green River, WY 82935 #2) A. Warren Russell 540 Logan St. Green River, WY 82935 #3) F. Rodriquez P.O. Box 107 Schertz, Tx 78154 #4) Jason Gillenwater 1201 Falls Creek Landing New Albany,IN 47150 #5)Patrick Lanier 4110 Pebble Ridge Circle Apt. 4 Colorado Springs Co. 80916 #6) Johnny Staffiles P.O. BOX 970 Oneco, FL 34264 STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the  Other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4 , etc.) and add YOUR name as number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to the original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 Newsgroups. (I think there are close to 2.4 million groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 via the Postal lottery laws. You can find Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 via www.findlaw.com. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and the  money that so many others have received will come your way. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent you, either on a \computer or hard copy and deep the notes people sent to you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) Remember: Close adherence to the directions are required to maintain Legality for your program. So, as each post is downloaded and the Directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their Participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 Position you will be receiving thousand of dollars in CASH! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed Above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business! DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS Step 1: You do not need to retype this entire letter to do your own Posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag Your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select "copy" for the edit Menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory. Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad" file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the "edit" menu select "paste." This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your posting in different settings, you'll have this file to go back to. Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various Newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions). Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new Message by highlighting the text of letter selecting paste from the Edit menu.Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees, as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the Post message button. Your done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT. All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after You get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU IN, THE; MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money form around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a PO Box due to the large amount of mail, you will receive.If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT** Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 posts, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 With my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part each of those 626 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 Replies, that just make me $3125.00! Those 3,125 persons will all Deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still ONLY 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625.00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is No longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, And send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at POSTION #6 again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that thousand of people all over the world are joining the Internet and reading These article everyday? JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so.. People have said. "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So What! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the Internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousand of those joining the actual Internet. Think about it, it's only $6.00 bucks! If it doesn't work, What have you really lost?  A few bucks that you probably would have spent on a lottery ticket that Has even harder odds to win at! Remember, play FAIRLY AND HONESTLY and this will really work . Tag: close opportunity Status reason drop down is "-1" Tag: 3994

    - Uploading/Downloading Files using System.Net.WebClient I've had enough people ask me about uploading/downloading file attachments using the SDK, so I thought I'd share this code with the group. These are two functions that should've been provided with the SDK, because the static HTML page example is not very flexible. Here is are the function definitions required to upload/download files using the SDK. If you want to use an already completed implementation, look at the document archive feature of ManagePoint (http://www.managepoint.com) -Mark -------------------------------------------------------- using System; namespace CRMMapper { /// <summary> /// Summary description for Document. /// </summary> public class Document { public Document() { } public void UploadFile(int AttachmentType, string AttachmentID, string ErrorURL, string FileName, byte[] FileByteArray, string SuccessUrl, System.Net.NetworkCredential Credentials, string CRMPath) { string body; CRMUser CRMUSER = new CRMUser(CRMPath); string vbCrLf = Convert.ToString((char)13) + Convert.ToString((char)10); string vbCr = Convert.ToString((char)13); string vbLf = Convert.ToString((char)10); string boundary = "aevom43s98jq30m9w492024234ioafwf02439t0j05wa35w5ref"; System.Text.StringBuilder StrB = new System.Text.StringBuilder(); StrB.Append(System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(FileByteArray)); body = "--" + boundary + vbCrLf + "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"AttachmentType\"" + vbCrLf + vbCrLf + "5" + vbCrLf + "--" + boundary + vbCrLf + "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"AttachmentId\"" + vbCrLf + vbCrLf + AttachmentID + vbCr + vbLf + "--" + boundary + vbCr + vbLf + "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"UserId\"" + vbCr + vbLf + vbCr + vbLf + CRMUSER.UserId + vbCr + vbLf + "--" + boundary + vbCr + vbLf + "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"MerchantId\"" + vbCr + vbLf + vbCr + vbLf + CRMUSER.MerchantId + vbCr + vbLf + "--" + boundary + vbCr + vbLf + "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"ErrorURL\"" + vbCr + vbLf + vbCr + vbLf + ErrorURL + vbCr + vbLf + "--" + boundary + vbCr + vbLf + "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"SuccessURL\"" + vbCr + vbLf + vbCr + vbLf + SuccessUrl + vbCr + vbLf + "--" + boundary + vbCr + vbLf + "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"userFile\"; filename=\"" + FileName + "\"" + vbCr + vbLf + "Content-transfer-encoding: base64; " + vbCr + vbLf + "Content-Type: application/binary; " + vbCr + vbLf + vbCr + vbLf + StrB.ToString() + vbCr + vbLf + "--" + boundary + "--" + vbCr + vbLf; System.Net.WebClient myWebClient = new System.Net.WebClient(); myWebClient.Credentials = Credentials; string URL = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["MSCRMServerAddress"] + "NoteUpload.srf"; myWebClient.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundary); myWebClient.Headers.Add("User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; T312461; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)"); myWebClient.Headers.Add("Accept", "image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-excel,application/msword, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, */*"); myWebClient.Headers.Add("Accept-Language", "en-us"); myWebClient.Headers.Add("Cache-Control", "no-cache"); Byte[] bResponse = myWebClient.UploadData(URL, "POST", System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(body)); } public Byte[] DownloadFile(string AttachmentID, string AttachmentType, System.Net.NetworkCredential Credentials, string CRMPath, string ErrorURL, string FileName) { CRMUser CRMUSER = new CRMUser(CRMPath); System.Net.WebClient myWebClient = new System.Net.WebClient(); myWebClient.Credentials = Credentials; string querystring = "AttachmentType=" + AttachmentType + "&AttachmentId=" + AttachmentID + "&UserId=" + CRMUSER.UserId + "&MerchantId=" + CRMUSER.MerchantId + "&ErrorURL=" + ErrorURL + "&FileName=" + FileName; myWebClient.Headers.Add("User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; T312461; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)"); myWebClient.Headers.Add("Accept", "image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-excel,application/msword, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, */*"); myWebClient.Headers.Add("Accept-Language", "en-us"); myWebClient.Headers.Add("Cache-Control", "no-cache"); Byte[] bResponse = myWebClient.DownloadData(System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSetti ngs["MSCRMServerAddress"] + "NoteDownload.srf?" + querystring); return bResponse; } } } Tag: close opportunity Status reason drop down is "-1" Tag: 3987

    - Sales For Outlook (ISV Integration) Hello, I have gone through the ISV integration for browser client but actually just putting my hands in the sales for outlook client. So, I need to ask some basic questions... i- My understanding is that there is a built-in Addin provided with the sales for outlook client and we are not allowed to perform any ISV integration in it. Is it right? ii - If the answer to above question is correct, can we just customize it to some extent? If so, how much. iii - To integrate ISV in it, do I need to write my own Addin for outlook, if this is the only solution for now..... I will appreciate any basic steps towards it. Or a link from where I can get some help. Thanks Farhan Zia Tag: close opportunity Status reason drop down is "-1" Tag: 3964

    - CDFMigrationTool No Longer Working for Me? We just completed our testing efforts of MS CRM and as a result, decided to restore the 4 CRM databases (_MSCRM, _METABASE, _CRMCRYSTAL, _MSCRMDISTRIBUTION) back to a 'clean' state. Apparently, the restoration files captured the databases in a state prior to running the migration tool to import our contacts from the CDF database into the CRM database(s). I've tried to run the migration tool several times now after the databases were restored, but it appears that nothing is being migrated. The time it takes for the tool to finish running now is extremely shorter than what it took for the intial (and successful) migration. Any thoughts?

    - Help with ActionParameters I'm not sure how many people out there are using the SDK with CRM, but this is a question for those who are. I'm trying to learn about Workflows; more specifically about programming them through the SDK. What I'm trying to do is create a workflow which, upon the creation of an account, updates the email address to some other value. This is purely academic and I'm only doing this so I can get a better understanding of workflows and the SDK, etc. I've ran into a snag, however, in trying to add a parameter to my Action. Currently I've created the Process (process.Create()), created the Step (process.CreateStep()), created the Action (process.CreateAction()), and now I'm trying to add Parameters. One of the XML elements for a parameter has a value that is also an XML string (the XML for the new value of the EmailAddress1 field for the Account that's being updated). See the C# below .... ============================================================================ ===== System.Text.StringBuilder query= new System.Text.StringBuilder(79); query.Append("<account>"); query.Append("<emailaddress1>MyFrickinEmailAddress@me.com</emailaddress1>"); query.Append("</account>"); try { System.Text.StringBuilder parameter3XML= new System.Text.StringBuilder(105); parameter3XML.Append("<wfparameter>"); parameter3XML.Append(" <name>EntityXML</name>"); parameter3XML.Append(" <actionid>"+actionID+"</actionid>"); parameter3XML.Append(" <parametertypecode>"+Microsoft.CRM.Flags.WORKFLOW_PARAMETER_TYPE.WFPM_VALUE. ToString()+"</parametertypecode>"); parameter3XML.Append(" <datatype>"+Microsoft.CRM.Flags.WORKFLOW_DATA_TYPE.WFDT_XML.ToString()+"</da tatype>"); parameter3XML.Append(" <value>"+query.ToString()+"</value>"); parameter3XML.Append(" <orderofevaluation>3</orderofevaluation>"); parameter3XML.Append("</wfparameter>"); process.CreateActionParameter(userAuth,parameter3XML.ToString()); } catch(System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException err) { Console.WriteLine("ErrorMessage: " + err.Message + " " + err.Detail.OuterXml + " Source: " + err.Source ); return; } ============================================================================ ===== When I send the parameter to the CRM server (process.CreateActionParameter()), I get the following exception back - ============================================================================ ===== ErrorMessage: SOAP Server Application Faulted <detail><error><code>80041a04</cod e><description>A parse error was encountered in the XML</description><details>A tag was encountered where data was expected at line 1, column 1 80</details><file>d:\mscrm\build\3017\src\platform\include\omcore\CrmPropert yBag Util.inl</file><line>490</line></error></detail> Source: System.Web.Services ============================================================================ ===== I've narrowed it down to the fact that I'm sending an xml string along as the parameter to my value element, but I don't know how else to do it than the way I currently am. I don't understand why CRM is choking on this! ANY feedback would be greatly appreciated! Ben Tag: close opportunity Status reason drop down is "-1" Tag: 3954

    - Escalating issues to managers In the Microsoft CRM User's Guide (help file included with the CRM Implementation Toolkit), there is a topic titled "Using Workflow Processes and Rules" from which I am reading the following excerpt: You can use Microsoft® Business Solutions Customer Relationship Management (Microsoft CRM) to automate internal business processes by creating workflows to carry out routine tasks that involve daily business operations. These processes can be designed to ensure that the right information gets to the right people at the right time, and help participants keep track of the steps they have to take to complete their work. Your managers can define, automate, and enforce specific business rules, policies, and procedures. Microsoft CRM can automatically escalate overdue service requests, alert salespeople about pipeline management issues, and alert the sales force about key events. Microsoft CRM Workflow tools enable you to: a.. Define business policies based on established processes. b.. Ensure that customer commitments are met. c.. Automatically escalate issues to management when required. d.. Level workloads across teams and territories. e.. Manage key business policies and procedures. f.. Ensure a consistent service process. I am specifically interested in the sections that say that "Microsoft CRM can automatically escalate overdue service requests..." and that Microsoft CRM Workflow tools enable you to "Automatically escalate issues to management when required." I have found no documentation anywhere else on how to do this, and I have found no other references to escalation in Microsoft CRM on the web or in this newsgroup. I also saw no way to do this with the functionality provided by the Workflow Manager. Has anyone else set up escalation rules in Microsoft CRM? (Ideally, we would like to escalate overdue user activities to the user's manager.) -- Marc Wojtowicz Tag: close opportunity Status reason drop down is "-1" Tag: 3917

What does it have that the others dont, and/or lack which the others have? 3/ What are the 3 (or more?) important key features that you need in CRM software? Even a brief reply would be helpful to me! Thanks! Owen Tag: close opportunity Status reason drop down is "-1" Tag: 3898

    - Enterprise Manager Hi. We have crm on a server in it's own domain. The server's over there. I can open the client to CRM on my own machine here at my desk. I manage all our SQL servers from my desk. Is it impossible to connect in Enterprise Manager to the CRM databases from here at my desk? It looks like I can only connect to them in EM when I'm actually at the CRM server. Tried client network utility using tcp/ip. Created a SQL username and password to get in too. Thank for any info.

    - User Access Error I get the following error message when typing http://localhost. I have installed the default system Adventure Works, have verified I put in the license and the name correctly. I have looked at Google/DejaNews but have not been able to find anything. I've spent a lot of time tinkering. Before I burn one of my MSDN calls to MS, I thought I might see if anyone had any thoughts. ---------------------- User Access Error The logged on user is either not a Microsoft CRM user, is disabled in the system, had not been assigned any security roles, or has not been assigned a license. ---------------------- I am working, for the first time with Windows 2003 and, for the first time, with Microsoft CRM. I've installed the default CRM domain. I believe I have installed and configured everything correctly -- but that is what everyone thinks.

    - Exel's Custom toolbar I assinged a custom macro to a custom button on a custom toolbar in Excel and attach the toolbar to the workbook. But when I copy the workbook to a network location and then to user's computers the path to the macro is changed. So instead of the path being "Macro1" it changes to "C:\MyWorkbook!Macro1." When the button is pressed we get an error message that "MyWorkbook is already open" because it tries to re-open the workbook. I've tried everything to stop this. Even Microsoft is ignoring me.

    - Going Wireless We are a small business, presently using laptops and running Windows 2000 Professional. We developed a proprietary program using Microsoft Access in Office 97, which we use to create "order" files (I believe these are .dbt files) which are sent to different offices worldwide as email attachments. The receiving office then downloads the files so as to become part of that office's "order" database. Here's the question. Is it possible for us to go wireless (whether in Windows 2000 or not) and send our order files (attachments) without a hardwire connection?

    - Can not login at customers site with Crystal I am at a customer site and can not use the Crystal special data source for CRM. Each time I try to login with the correct address on their network and a different user name as the data source allows you to do, I receive an error saying the user can not be authenticated. I submit the user in the form domain\username with the correct password. Has any one else run into this problem, as a solutions partner?

    - 2000 internet error I searched the knowledge base, and this article is exactly what we are experiencing - but we don't use MOE 4.01 for Solaris. "The information in this article applies to: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.01 for Sun Solaris This article was previously published under Q186272 SYMPTOMS When you attempt to connect to a Post Office Protocol (POP3), Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP), or Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) server, you may receive one or more of the following error messages: Your POP3 server has not responded in 60 seconds.

    - Task ownership changes when assigning opportunities We have a sales process that assigns tasks to different people for a single opportunity. For example, one person might be responsible for a phonecall confirming an appointment with the opportunity while the other person might be responsible for a task to meet with the customer. Let me see if I can simplify an example of a problem we are encountering: Opportunity X is owned by User A Sales process creates Task 1 for Opportunity X and Task 1 is assigned to [owner] (which is User A) Sales process creates Task 2 for Opportunity X and Task 2 is assigned to User B User A assigns Opportunity X to User C (through the standard web client) So now... Opportunity X is owned by User C Task 1 for Opportunity X is owned by User C Task 2 for Opportunity X is owned by User C Our problem is that we expected Task 1 to now be owned by User C (which it is), and for Task 2 to remain with User B (which it is NOT.) Is this functionality by design? Does the same thing happen for all objects (Leads, Accounts, etc.) in the system that are assigned to another user? Is there any way to force tasks to remain with the same owner even if the object associated with the task changes ownership? -- Marc Wojtowicz Tag: close opportunity Status reason drop down is "-1" Tag: 3850
