    - Hide or Delete Protected System Fields in Forms Can I hide or delete protected system fields from a form? When i tried to customize a Quote Product form, i found some fields with a padlock. After that, in the attributes section, in the shipto_line2 field specifically, i changed the requirement level properties value from "required" to "no required". Finally, I opened the Quote Product form again, but the padlock still appear. Thanks, Enrique J. Bravo C. CRM Consultant, MekanoAsicom Tag: interesting question about workflow Tag: 53293

    - Hardware Requirements for Demo Server? Hi guys, I'm planning on doing a demo for a client of CRM 3.0. I have a server kicking around with 640MB RAM, 18GB SCSI U160 drive and a 933Mhz PIII processor. I want to install SQL Server 2005 and CRM 3.0 on this box. Q: Will this be sufficient to demo CRM to just a few users at once with a couple hundred account records? Or is it going to be so painfully slow as to affect their evaluation of the product?

    - crm email - no longer working V1.2 After a security risk was flagged up to our exchange server I made a very small change to our IIS configuration. Namely removing script mapping to .printer. After running and IISreset to ensure that change was applied we have had problems with CRM email. Namely that when you try to send a CRM email you get an error stating that: "An error has occurred. Please contact your system administrator". A referall to the event viewer reveals nothing of interest. A reboot of both the exchange and the CRM servers makes no difference. nor does applying rollup update 2 (on all of client/server/exchange router). I am guessing that I may need to reinstall the exchange router, but having inherited this system pre-installed, I have never had to do that. Is anyone able to advise on whether or not that is likely to resolve the issue and also how the reinstall is actually done. cheers P Tag: interesting question about workflow Tag: 53287

    - Register an Appointment using the outlook interface and CRM 3.0 I want to make an appointment for myself with one contact of one of my account but these contact does not have any email adress. If I use the outlook interface I put the name of the account on regarding but where can I put the required or attendees persons ? Because thes persons do not have email adress they don't appear in the adress book but I have to mention the name of the person and to link the appointment with this person in the CRM. It seems to be totaly impossible ! It is very frustrating because Microsoft said the the new 3.0 version was better than the 1.2 that we used since last year and that this version was totaly intergated with the CRM It don't seems to be right. Can somebody explain what we have to do to register an appointment via the outlook interface and for that appointment to be correctly linked to CRM ???

    - subject entity customization seems impossible Hi everybody, I hoped I could change the name of the "subject" entity. However, this entity, as well as other customizable entities does not seem to allow customization of any information that appears on the general tab of the informations menu item. How may I change this name ? I tried another method, namely, "export customization", modify the name in the xml file and then "import customization". However, it seems impossible to publish this customization, so that the entity name quickly reverts to its previous value. Thank you to anyone who can help me achieve this goal.

    - Updating data in MS CRM from other places Hi all We use relationships extensively but find that when using Advanced Find we can't define the joins necessary to create the set of Contacts required for a marketing list. (I think it would be good if I could save an Advanced Find, and then be able to use that within another Advanced Find - like a sub-query - but that's another matter). Anyway, as a quick solution, I have used queries in MS Access to identify the list of Contacts required. I have customised, adding a new field to the Contact table, and want to be able to set this field from in MS Access on those Contact rows I've identified - I can then use Advanced Find over this field, and build the marketing list I want. However, it won't let me I guess because they're non-updateable filtered views in Access ... Can anyone tell me the easiest/best workaround for this? We have Scribe (although not experienced) and of course I could go to Enterprise Manager and run the UPDATE query in there - want to avoid this if possible. (I also don't want to have to buy/install an add-in). Can anyone help? Many thanks. Matt Tag: interesting question about workflow Tag: 53257

    - 3.0 Laptop Client Install Failing Having a heck of a time getting the Outlook client to install on any of the client machines. Starting with a single notebook, I get the following error when installing from SBS or directly from the CD. An incompatible version of the Microsoft CRM desktop client for Outlook or the Microsoft CRM laptop client for Outlook is already installed on this computer: Product: Microsoft CRM laptop client for Microsoft Office Outlook, Version: 3.0.5300.0, User: . Before continuing the current installation, remove the incompatible version. All other test are green checked. 3.0 is the only version ever to be installed on this notebook. I have never gotten the client to show up in Add Remove Programs. The only CRM reference on the notebook is the MSDE SQL CRM that I have uninstalled/reinstalled numerous times. I also have tried removing all registry lines containing 3.0.5300 in them and those referencing CRM. In addition the Microsoft SQL and Microsoft CRM folder are deleted before each reinstall attempt. I don't know why, even if something was missed in the registry, the program will not allow an overinstall of the same version......? Any help would be appreciated. Hopefully the answer will shed light on the other stations as well. Thanks, John Tag: interesting question about workflow Tag: 53243

    - Outlook client does not stop synchronizing Hi There, I have rolled out CRM 3 on a clients SBS 2003 server without issues, but I am having problems with one of the client machines. There have been 3 clients installed so far without issue, only this machine is causing headaches. The installation goes ahead without issue, but when you open outlook for the first time it appears to hang and becomes non responsive. I let it run for almost two hours only to find by looking at the network card that there has been 4Gb sent and 8Gb received. The database itself has around 5000 records (made up of leads, accounts, contacts,etc...), but the user I am installing for has a mailbox of just over 2Gb (I only do crm for this company, actual IT support is handled by someone else). The laptop is brand new and the user has had it for around a month without having any problems. I will be back on the clients site in a few hours, until then I do not have any log files or anything, just wanted to see if someone else had a similar issue. I can get any log files required when back on site. Any ideas? Tag: interesting question about workflow Tag: 53226

    - Add a Picklist to a Contact Address form in the metadata attribute I am trying to add a picklist item called country to the contacts address. I have already added it to the entity address. I then went to the attribute table and created two records that follow the format of shipping methods two records. One for the Code Value and the other for the name of the value selected in the picklist. Next I went into the settings and then contact entity and clicked on attributes and found my picklist for country was there. If I double clicked on the picklist it does not have a display name or any values. If I try to add a display name and save it I get an error because I am missing records that attach this picklist with the one in address table. I checked the other tables in the metadata database and there does not seem to be any other table I need to add records to. What other tables do I need to add records to and how can I get my custom picklist on the contact for country to tie to the picklist on the address table. What is the schema layout to support the entities and the forms for these entities? I know what I am wanting to do is unsupported but I need country and state as picklist for the contact and Account.

    - Object refererence & user manager Like many here I've been pulling my hair out trying to get CRM upgraded from 1.2 to 3.0. I'm gettting closer I think but now when I open configuration manager and navigate to the the user manager node, I get an error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" It appears to happen when the list of configured users is being populated and the list remains blank. When I try to add a user, the progress bar indictaes that 1 of X users is being configured and configuration manager closes altogether. The licenses node indicates that three licenses are installed. When I open the site in IE, I get an authentication error no matter what account I use that was previously configured for 1.2. Is there a way to mnually remove te 3 licenses and their associated users so that maybe user manager will populate properly? All users have first and last names. Any other thoughts? TIA!

Enabling drag and drop of scheduled activities both in horizontally (date/time) and vertically (resources) would vastly improve the usability.

    - Upgrading from 1.2 to 3.0 with PowerTrack Installed Just wondering if anyone out there has upgraded to 3.0 with PowerTrack installed. We are hoping that 3.0 has the functionality we gained from PowerTrack, natively. My gut seems to think that it might be better to do a fresh install and try to migrate the data from 1.2 into 3.0. Is there a process for this? If there is, can I have 2 installations of MSCRM 1.2 & 3.0 running at the same time in the same domain. If migrating is not possible, what issues might we run into when upgrading to 3.0 with PowerTrack installed. Thank You, Tag: interesting question about workflow Tag: 53162

    - Queue to a case Relates to the Service Module in CRM. I have set up Queues in the CRM module to which users can send emails from their desktop. I would like some of these emails to be converted to a CASE, automatically with some basic fields filled in from the email content. I was told that version 3.0 is capable of doing this, but am still trying to figure out how to achieve this. Has anyone succeeded in being able to do this? Any advice would be appreciated.

    - Miscellaneous javascript warnings (on Firepass 5.5) CRM 3.0. We are getting inconsistent javascript errors when our remote users attempt certain actions. Some of the places in the application that seem the most consistent in throwing errors: * Clicking the New Lead button on the lead entity list * Clicking New, New Lead, on the CRM menu at the top * Clicking the Calendar icon on the left Some of the javascript errors that we are experiencing: 'ORG_DATE_START_DAY' is undefined (on line 71 of the /calendar/day.aspx page) 'ORG_DATE_FORMAT' is undefined (on line 103 of the /calendar/day.aspx page) 'Could not complete the operation due to error 80020101' (line 762 of the /_nav/menu.htc page) Just posting this to see if anyone else has experienced similar issues. Full disclosure: We are running CRM for our external users through an HTTP proxy on a VPN appliance called a Firepass (by F5 Networks). These errors only seem to occur when running CRM through the VPN appliance, and only for certain users. Microsoft has already told us that this is an unsupported configuration, not because they KNOW it won't work, but just because they haven't had the chance to test every possible deployment configuration. It required some extensive configuration on the proxy to get it to work at all. We had to upgrade the Firepass software to v5.5 which supports a "full pass-through mode" for complex web apps. Any ideas? Any methods you can think of that we might be able to troubleshoot this issue? Thanks for your help Tag: interesting question about workflow Tag: 53153

    - Importing Contacts & phonenumbers Hi, When importing phone numbers like '+32 11 52 36 24' the bulk import tool from CRM3.0 creates the phonenumber like '11 52 36 24', so it drops the country code. How can I tell CRM3.0 to leave the countrycode alone and just import the whole text? Thanks Tag: interesting question about workflow Tag: 53149
