    - Easy way to resend failed campaign activity emails? I have a marketing list containing 1000 people, create a marketing activity to send emails to these people, and distribute. 100 of these people may have inadvertantly got the "Do Not Allow Emails" to be ticked, or have an email address missing. Is there an easy way, after fixing this, to resend these emails to these people? i.e. from the "failed activities" sub-grid. Any help would be much appreciated. Ian.

    - Report Name Customer Hi We have created a custom report in Visual Studio which shows all the service activities per customer in CRM. I now would like to display the customer name which was used in the filter as the heading of the report. If no customer was selected the heading should be blank. Do I need to use CRM_FilterText to achieve this? I have attempted to insert a parameter without success. I would really appreciate some guidance in how to achieve this. Many Thanks Mark Tag: The existing databases are not compatible Tag: 105155

    - Retrieving Notes from an Account AND its Contacts using AF Hi all, Can you please tell me if this can be done using Advanced Find in 3.0 or 4.0: I am simply trying to return all the notes from an account and also from its contacts in the same query. I guess this would require some kind of join to tell AF that the account and contacts are related. Could this maybe be done with the new report wizard in CRM 4.0 by entering the account name as a parameter? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    - Campiagns and Security User A (Business Unit A) is in a business unit higher than user B (BU B). AND Business Units are set up as hierarchy. Unit A owns Unit B. When user A creates a task, case, appointment, .. these are all visible to user B at the account level. This makes sense as user B owns the account. However - when user A creates a campaign (campaign, campaign responses, activities,..); it is not visible to user B. Is this how the software functions? If I share the campiagn then all the responses, activities,... are visile to user B including responses from accounts not owned or visible to user B.

    - 3.0 to 4.0 upgrade We are running into the "Unique constraints are not consistent with those in the CRM 3.0 unique constraints. That's followed by "The stored procedures in the CRM database are not consistent ''''' Then we're getting the "Detected customizations that have not been published" Not the exact verbiage but these are coming during the Upgrade Review of the CRM Database.

    - Customization import - no errors but a few anomalies. I have 2 versions of crm 4.0 From version A, I have exported all customizations. I them uploaded and imported the customizations into version B. I now have a few anomalies... 1) When creating a workflow query, the Opportunity>Status Reason value has missing values. When i check the customized attribute, the values are correct, but they do no appear in the value list in the workflow query. 2) the Opportunity form was altered to show the Status and Status reason fields. The default form shows, not the customized form. Any ideas? I need to iron these issues out as i will be building CRM on a testing server before exporting customizations to another box.

    - Outlook Client Cannot Connect to Server (CRM 3.0) Hi, I'm trying to use the off-line client for Outlook with out CRM 3.0 system and I keep getting the following messages "There is a problem communicating with the Microsoft CRM server. The server might be unavailable. Try again later. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator" followed by "An error occurred loading Microsoft CRM functionality. Try restarting Microsoft Outlook. Contact your system administrator if errors persist."

Does anyone know how I can get any more info on what might be causing the problem and/or how I can fix it. Thanks in advance, HandyAndy Tag: The existing databases are not compatible Tag: 105120

    - Email from Workflow Hello, We have a set of rules running to email an appropriate sales person when an opportunity status is changed to "won" and meets the following criteria: "When opportunity Status is changed if Opportunity.Status = Won Opportunity.Express Commercial Account = Yes Opportunity. Commericial Product not null then if Opportunity.Sales Rep contain allen then Email To:Allen,Bill,:Subject: Express Commercial Account - **Pricing Completed**, Please Follow-up end if end if" Recently, the rules have stopped sending the email, even though the opportunity should trigger it. I have stopped and started the rule, restarted CRM bulk email service and tried duplicating the rule and none of this has helped. I have also run a platform trace and cannot see any obvious errors when re creating the problem. The rule was running fine a month ago. The other rules that send email seem to be working fine.

    - Delete Address Privilege Greetings. We're running MS CRM 3.0 and are trying to figure out how to configure privileges on the Address entity. It would be nice if we could deactivate an address, but that doesn't appear to be an option. Absent that, deleting an address would suffice. The only problem is that there doesn't appear to be that level of granularity for applying privileges. There is no option for Address in the Customize Roles pages. I would imagine that granting the privilege for deleting Accounts would get the users this but that is not a good thing. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks. Dale.

    - Custom Report Hi I am in the process of creating a custom report in Visual Studio. We are using CRM 4.0 and I chose not to use the report wizard as we require a more complex report. I have managed to create a simple report with our company logo and a table with details from the case entity. We need to create a service activity report which shows all the cases created for a specific customer during a specific time period. I have managed to make the report prefilterable and using the filter we can select the customer and the report will display a summary of each case logged for the customer. I now need to also insert an additional table which shows details of specific service activities created for the case. We want to only show this table when the case has been created for maintenance. I have managed to join the tables and create the maintenance task table. I need to find out if it is possible only to show this table for specific cases. The table needs to visible below each case summary table. I would like to also include a heading for the report which shows the customer name which is indicated in the filter. I tried to insert the field for customer name however it did not return any data. Is it possible to add a default filter? Thanks for any help. I would really appreciate it if someone could please give me a clue or point me in the right direction. Many Thanks Mark Tag: The existing databases are not compatible Tag: 105053

    - CRM Server is unavailable issue When I do a check on the server: 1. IIS is running but MS CRM is unavailable. 2. Related Web applications are running. Problem arises when I access CRM application or it CRM Web Service. Both of these become unavailable. Then I restart the server to make it available again.. Does any one know of this problem and how to solve it? Are there any Server Registry setting to be done or MS CRM 3.0 has problems? -- romeo!!

    - CRM 4.0 can not go online - unknown error Whenever we click on the "Go online" button in Outlook, we receive this message "An unknown error has occurred. Retry the action. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator". We've tried to reconfigure the CRM through the "Configuration Wizard", it would force CRM to online status, but if we go offline and go online again, we have same error. We have thought it is something to do with the VPN setting as all of our sales people work remotelly but now it happens to people in the office too. We just have had this issue lately, CRM 4.0 worked fine before. I've looked up online but have no clue on the resolution. Would appreciate all the helps as it's driving us crazy. Thank you. TG.

All,

I am unable to install MS CRM with my SQL DB backups.

I have setup a new MS CRM Test Server with following things:

Windows 2003 (with SP2)
Installed AD (its a different domain)
SQL 2000 (with SP4)
Restored Old database (mdf and ldf backups) to the new SQL Database.

I am getting below error message while installing MS CRM as i am connecting
my existing database which i had restored from my live (Production) CRM.

Error message:
The existing databases are not compatible with this installation of
Microsoft CRM.

I will highly appriciate for your early response.

Thanks,
Syed.
