PostCallOut ObjectXML
Hello,
iam using a PostCAllOut Method to create an XML File with informations
about the created Objects (for this example Contacts). The File looks
simplified like this:
<contact>
<firstname>MyFirstname</firstname>
<lastname>MyLastname</lastname>
</contact>
I can get the ContactID via get-Method. But i want to have the
ContactID inline my XML File just like this:
<contact>
<firstname>MyFirstname</firstname>
<lastname>MyLastname</lastname>
<contactid>123-456-789-ABC</contactid>
</contact>
I have to integrate the id in order to use MS predifined XDR Schema
for further tasks.
Any suggestions how to get this done? (Without start modifying
strings...)
Thank you,

Newbie: How much customization?
I work for a training company, we are looking at different CRM tools right
now. We have not yet installed the demo och MSCRM.
In a general perspective. How much customization of MSCRM is possible and
how much is necessary?
How much programming knowledge is required to customize MSCRM?
I realize that it is a complex question, but any imput is valuable.

Books / documentation on MS CRM
Hi
Is anyone out there aware of any good sources of
documentation on MS CRM? I have read everything on the
documentation CD, and the 'Que Using MS CRM' by Laura
Brown and John Gravelly, which is good as far as it goes,
but is somewhat lightweight in several of the areas where
I have questions.
Thanks

Installed Products
Is it possible in MS CRM to record the installed products
at a customer?
I would like to be able record the details of a product
including serial number, when we sell a product, and then
be able to search on this when the customer contacts us
for support.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Workflow to close unrequired orders
I have a situation where I need to be able to update the
opportunity linked to a quote and then other quotes
linmked to the same opportunity. I am sure that this must
be possible using a Sales Cycle, but I am struggling to
get it to work.
The scenario is:-
An Opportunity has generated several quotes (typically
complex variations on quantity and discount levels). The
customer accepts one of these (possibly after a complex
process within his own organisation), and from this one
quote an order for the products (quantities, prices and
discount) listed on this quote is generated. On the
raising of this order I want to autoclose all the other
linked quotes, and update the opportunity to show that an
order has been raised from it.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Modify Resolve Case
I have modified many forms in my MS CRM under Settings > System
Customization.
One form I cannot find however is the Resolve Case form which is
visible if you open a case and go to Actions > Resolve Case.
I want to predefine the list of solutions instead of letting my users
type their own value in, so reporting down the road is more
meaningful, but I cannot find that form anywhere to customize.
Can anyone assist with this?
Thanks Tag: crmapp_db.exe Tag: 8404
Custom Fields
I am interested in creating fields within the CRM so that
if I have a customer that I am about to quote to, and I
find that they have other equipment that I want to store
in the CRM ... tied with the customer ... can I create
these fields and allow them to be searchable? Tag: crmapp_db.exe Tag: 8402
Scrollbars within navigation tabs
I have created a new tab on the account form's left nav
bar that calls out to a custom web form. My problem is
that scrollbars do not appear in these custom tabs -
unlike the built in tabs. I have tried to
pass "scrollbars=1" in the WinParams parameter in
isv.config but this didn't work either. Does anyone know
how I can get scrollbars to appear in my custom tabs?
Thanks in advance for your help.

e-commerce solution
I need some advice on what direction I should go in to
create an online catalog of products that are searchable
and interactive so a customer can enter details of what
they are looking for and continue entering info to end up
with a very specific part. My company manufactures
thousands and thousands of parts. Present catalog was
created in Pagemaker 6.5 and then converted in PDF's.
However, there is no existing database. Any suggestions
would be appreciated. Tag: crmapp_db.exe Tag: 8394

setting fields on forms to not editable
Hello,
I want to make the Account number field on the Account form not editable,
just like the Project number on the Case form. Does anyone here know how to
do this? I compared the attributes in the deployment manager, and they look
the same, just like the properties on the form designer.
I am going to use these fields to store Customer and Case numbers from an
external application, and so I don't want users to be able to change the
values.
Thanks,
Daniel. Tag: crmapp_db.exe Tag: 8388
8000 byte row limit blown while adding fields to Microsoft CRM Account object.
Hi all
My customer has requested a great deal of customisation on their CRM
implementation, particularly the Account object.
As such, around 40 new fields have been added to the account object
via the Deployment Manager.
Unfortunately, we are at the point now where additional fields cannot
be added, due to us reaching the 8000 byte row limit of SQL Server!
The message in the event log is as follows: 'dmLog: New size of the
attribute ({B806C9CD-554F-4BA6-80C2-0906640276BE}) exceeds the SQL
Server row limit of 8000 bytes.'
This really leaves us in a bit of a pickle, because:
a) We now cannot add any more fields to the account object.
b) We cannot undo, delete or modify any of the previously added custom
fields - they're stuck there (so we can't free up space that way)!
In short - we're stuck with what we've got and can't go forwards or
backwards.
Can anyone suggest any methods of working around this issue - as luck
would have it we are only one field short, but it's very limiting for
the future if we're stuck with this limit.

manipulating CRM database directly
Hi,
I would like to create a program to access the crm metabase database for
updating the callout subscriber settings.
Currently the metabase database name is adventure_cylcle_works_metabase.
How can i get the database name for the same for any crm installation.
Will it be of the pattern <<CRM_Organization_Name>>_Metabase
In that case where and how will I get the name of the organization.
I guess, from the active directory. If so what is the attribute that i need
to ask for.
it would be great if I get the connectionstring for crm metabase database
using with the SqlConnection object
hope somebody have understood my problem.
thanks in advance

Error loading CRM folders in Outlook 2003
I'm currently testing CRM in an SBS 2003 domain running
Office 2003. I recieve an error after installing the CRM
Sales on a client with Outlook 2003. It states: "Error
loading CRM folders". I can't seem to track down the
error in the event logs and CRM seems to work anyway, but
I'm still in the early parts of testing to I'm sure I
will run into a issues sooner or later.
Thanks,
