    - CRM Deployment in an organisation with 2 physical sites Hi, Is it possible to have 2 crm servers installed for an organisation with one domain, that has 2 physical locations? At the moment we have a crm server, and a sql server located in one site, but were looking at setting up another crm server at the second site to speed up the loading process. Both crm servers will be connecting to the same sql server database. Is this possible? Thanks Tag: CRM SQL error Tag: 77016

    - Move Account activity to contact Hello, We just did an ACT to CRM 1.2 migration and we want to do some customizing on the data. In CRM 1.2, does anyone know how to assign the account activities, history, notes to the primary contact of the account. We are basically going to have only contacts in CRM and delete all the accounts, but the activities are linked to the account, not the contacts. Thanks in advance. Lance Tag: CRM SQL error Tag: 77015

    - Loading lookup field text into another form field I am using an 'onchange' event against a lookup field to populate another form field using crmForm.all.nswit_schoolname.DataValue = crmForm.all.nswit_schoolsemployedid.SelectedText but cannot seem to make it work. Tried it on a form save event as well. Simple but ??? The reason for this is that I am attempting to update an attribute in a parent entity with the latest value in a linked entity using workflow.

    - What "views" I've create some reports for our various needs, and have been fairly successfull doing so (e.g. writing the query, joining needed views, getting the rdl up and going, etc.) I'm attempting to create a stored precudure (first just a T-SQL query) that I will use to create a customer quote. I'm unsure what joined views to use when I'm initially pulling data from the "FilteredQuote" view. Some are obvious like "filteredquotedetail" but when it comes to upstream data such as the Account ID, I'm not sure what views to join. Does anyone have a process they use for deciphering what tables/views should be joined to the main "view" they are using to query data? -- Sketchy Tag: CRM SQL error Tag: 77008

    - New Territory Strategy Our Sales executive had a bright idea last week to revamp all of the territories in the Sales Department without talking to anybody about it outside of Sales. We are a volume based business so for under 20,000 volume, we have reps for three areas of the U.S. Over 20,000 we have reps for eight areas of the U.S. What is the best way to map that out in CRM?

    - A SQL Server error occurred. Beginning yesterday we are getting the following error when trying to make any update or change in our Microsoft Dynamics CRM. "A SQL Server error occurred. For more information contact your system administrator." The error began when I tried to update my user profile and has grown exponentially to the point where we can only view current information - we can not make any changes. As far as I know there were no changes made to the SQL Server in the past two weeks. I don't know what version of the SQL Server we're running - I'll post that as soon as I can get the information.

    - BCM 2007 data to CRM 3.0 I am trying to migrate data from Business Contact Manager 2007 to CRM 3.0. Once i select the database that is the BCM data it gives me a warning that the database is not upgraded to Business Contact Manager v2.0. I imagine that is because it does not support BCM 2007 yet. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to get this data from the BCM to CRM? James Tag: CRM SQL error Tag: 77002

    - Cancelling expired contracts There appears to be no way of distinguishing contracts with have expired and we know that they will not be renewed and contracts which have expired but we may still be belatedly planning to renew. Is there anyway to change the status of an expired contract to cancelled? Is the only option to delete the contract? We don't like this as we lose the history. Are there any other fields we can update (by workflow perhaps) in an expired contract so that we can distinguish between these two states?

    - My CRM menu item in the Outlook add-in has disappeared Very annoying. I can't find the Menu item for CRM from the Menu bar in Outlook. I've looked everywhere, especially in "customize toolbars". The Outlook add-in is still working, and the CRM toolbar is there, but without the menu item I can't do things like synchronise and set local data. I don't really want to re-install the add-in as I'm afraid it will mean I have to reset all the synchronisation items, which would be a big pain... -- Mike Bristol, UK CRM user www.crmuser.blogspot.com Tag: CRM SQL error Tag: 77000

    - Locking Down and Securing CRM v3.0 I'm looking for some examples of how people are securing access to CRM data. We currently use a combination of CRM roles and c360 for field level security to limit users access to the data that impacts their job or duties. However, when using the CRM Outlook client, c360 does not carry over offline. This leaves data open to users when they are offline. These offline users can modify any data they wish (depending on their role). These updates are then synched when they go online. Has anyone written any custom code or have another solution that will allow CRM to be secured when offline? Thanks, James (Jimmie) Tag: CRM SQL error Tag: 76999

    - Data migration and relationship question Hi I am wanting to migrate data using the DMF from our bespoke system into CRM. We have 2 tables which contain Company incl Address and People. The first table contains multiple entries for the same company only with different addresses for the various sites. The People table has contact records that relate to individual company sites. I believe I'm wanting to create records in the DMF database in the following tables. Account, Contact, CustomerAddresses. In CRM I want to show that each address is related to both the Account & Contact but it seems that I have to make a choice whilst migrating data. The DMF CustomerAddresses table requires me to state whether the address has a relationship to either the Account or Contact. I want both. Any help appreciated.

    - Mail merge questions regarding mass e-mails Hello all, We are utilizing MS CRM version 3.0 and plan to use mail merge functionality to communicate information to our customers. I have some basic mail merge questions that I'm hoping someone can help with. (1) Is it possible to have the the mail merge e-mails come from a generic company mailbox as opposed to the users specific e-mail address (they have a mailbox set up already). (2) When mail merge is used to communicate to a large list of recipients, how can we set it up so that the emails will go out as a Bcc: instead of a To: or Cc: (i.e. in order to avoid e-mails going out showing other customers email addresses) (3) With mail merge e-mails generated from CRM, where will the kickbacks go (i.e. will they go back to the generic e-mail account that we would like to use to communicate our mail outs). Thanks in advance for any help on these RJ Tag: CRM SQL error Tag: 76991

    - A simple Question This may seem very basic but I am going to ask the question anyway :) I have CRTM setup and working on sbs2003 and runs fine and we are slowly learning lots about it. I have no problem creating leads, accounts, contacts etc etc However I receive a large amount of emails which I want to create as leads. I can do this but it seems a long way round the way we do it as we have to fill in the details from that email. Is there a simple way of once the email is received simply clicking somewhere in outlook 2007 or anywhere else that simply creates the email immediateley as a lead with the information from that email . Hope you understand what I mean but it is really a long way round when i receive a large amoutn of emails which are simply leads NOT opportunities until investigated further Thanks Mark Tag: CRM SQL error Tag: 76981

    - deleting emails in cases If an email is in draft, you cannot close a case. If I give the users access to delete the draft emails in a case, they can delete any email. If an email has been sent, we need to retain it. What can I do to allow the service techs to delete a draft email, but not one that needs to be maintained for historical purposes? I don't want them to have to send an email to themselves to close the email activity and close the case, nor does it make sense in our environment to reassign emails to one person with permission to delete.

    - MSCRM and coding experience Hello All you gurus out there I have had a brief search to find an answer to this however, I think it will be quicker if I just ask the question... I have just joined a company that has MSCRM installed. It is my job to "make it work". I have no coding experience to speak of (and that means 'nil') and some of the concepts in MS CRM seem back to front. Which probably means they are right and I'm just ignorant. Example: 1. we installed the vanilla sales process and activated it 2. I can see it - but not for all opportunities (what the...!) 3. other staff can't see it at all 4. this makes no sense to me - If I install it and activate it, it should be available company wide - shouldn't it? It now makes me think that, at almost every point, I'm going to have to re-trace my steps to make this work and that is going to take far too much time. So, with this specific example of a dilemma in mind the question is this: Can I effectively customise, set up automated processes and basically make it sing without any coding experience? My background and experience is mainly in management, HR and sales leadership - not quite the IT background one might need. Thanks in advance. Hope that's clear enough.

    - Found the solution ... I have been experiencing the crashes sometime repeatedly behind one another. It turns out that Microsoft has posted an article on this issue ... Refer to: KB Article Number(s): 931270 Language: English Platform: i386 The crash has to do with a Outlook 2003 security patch which is conflicting with CRM 3.0. The article had me call Microsoft to obtain the hotfix which has not been regression tested. I loaded the patch (one for the server side and for the client side), and so far so good. They have fixed some other issues in addition: 'Work Place' and our internal knowledge base articles were not available via Outlook. They are now all working. Hope this helps.

    - Better way to import contacts/accounts? Hi, I've been following to instaructions found at http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/crm/using/configure/outlookimport.mspx to import contacts from Outlook 2003 into CRM 3. It mostly worked as expected but I had to try a few times because I kept getting errors. I was finally able to import contacts using only basic fields. Then I tried to use it to create accounts. I keep getting errors. For example, if I only export the Company field, I can import that as Account. But if I import the Company and Business Street fields, I get a "The header contains more fields than the data fields in the file." Guess I'll have to manually fill in the blanks. Ugh.

    - Auto-regarding Can someone please clarify whether Microsoft CRM 3.0 can auto-assign the "regarding" when an email comes into outlook using the CRM Client for Outlook and the email address is already in the system (contact or account)? I know it will if we receive a message with a CRM token, but we receive a lot of email from outside sources which don't have a token. This is a major frustration within our organization and is something we sorely miss from Goldmine. If it's not a built-in feature, is there something we can write to do it? We have programmers on staff who are capable of writing something in VS2005, but we need a little direction on where to start. Also, how do staff send/recieve email in pure crm? (ie. From the crm website) Currently, we are using the Outlook client for CRM, but given our frustration with the regarding, perhaps this is an avenue we should persue. It doesn't appear to have a user-friendly page where staff can send/receive and organize their mail (like a normal email client). Thanks to everyone who replies. Jerry Tag: CRM SQL error Tag: 76919

    - Loss of Outlook Contact data when synching with CRM? I received this email from a client regarding problems with Outlook contacts and synching with CRM. Has anyone seen something like this before? One other very strange phenomenon. I have a practice of attaching a personâ??s picture to their Outlook record when that picture is readily available on a website, for example, virtually all XXX employees. I did a random check on several contacts for whom I know I had successfully attached a picture. Of a random sample of 24 such contacts, the picture is still attached to 10 of the records, the picture is not attached to 12 of the records, and for two people for whom I have pictures (independently stored as a back-up), their entire records are now missing. I am referring to the â??originalâ?? record of course, not the duplicate where there is one. This again is a seemingly random event that is being caused by something. XXX is not doing any database manipulation on our contacts, therefore does it not have to somehow link back to CRM and the database manipulations that you are doing.

Some ideas:

Was it working ok before?
Other users have the same issue? or All users?
Same error if running on the CRM Server? SQL Server?
Anything changed on the SQL Server, AD setting? Network setting?
Try a reboot of the SQL/CRM Servers?

Frank,

Everything was working fine. Then, at one point, I could not get into add
or edit an attribute. I got an error - 'Object instance not set to an
instance of an object'

I tried to do a repair and got an error about the faxservice not being
available, or installed, or something. At that point I rebooted and not have
the problem stated below.
