Never mind. I was able to locate the disks that we had in the office.
I apologize for the mixup.

delete contracts

Posted: 25 Apr 2005 08:50 AM PDT

Thanks Andreas for your answer.
I found this on the MS site:

CRMContract.Delete Method
The Delete method deletes a contract.

Syntax

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub Delete(
ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
ByVal ContractId As String
)
[C#]
public void Delete(
CUserAuth Caller,
string ContractId
);
[C++]
public: void Delete(
CUserAuth* Caller,
String* ContractId
);Parameters

Caller

Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller
must have the prvDeleteContract privilege and access rights on the object to
be deleted. See CUserAuth.

ContractId

Specifies the ID of the contract to be deleted.

Return Value

No return value.

Remarks

If there is an error, SOAP throws an exception and the error message is
reported in System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException.Detail .OuterXml.

All IDs passed to the platform are GUIDs wrapped in braces. For example:
{6522D89A-A752-4455-A2B0-51494C6957C3}



I'd like to know if someone already tried implementing this method..is it
working?

Would also like to know, in case it is working fine, does it work for a
contract which is in: Invoiced, Cancelled or Expired?



Thanks

Eric

Customized Contact fields.

Posted: 25 Apr 2005 08:14 AM PDT

If you only have two more fields to add to your contact form, I would
recommend simply "hijacking" some existing fields of the appropriate type
(picklist, datetime, etc.) that you are not using. You can rename them on the
form. I'd be careful about deleting fields (as Peter says, it is unsupported)
and you don't necessarily know what the ramifications will be.

DMF : How to populate the cdf_account_ext table?

Posted: 25 Apr 2005 06:43 AM PDT

You mean the identifier in my source table should map the identifier in my
destination tables (cdf_account and cdf_account_ext) ? So a record from the
source to the destination (cdf tables) should have the same ID ?

Many thanks :)

Thousands Excel customer details, how to import to CRM?

Posted: 22 Apr 2005 08:59 AM PDT

OK, I'm going to use the second option: to use the Data Migration Framework.

1. Use SQL Server Data Transformation Services to extract you data from
Excel into the interim CDF database;

2. Run the data migration tool to load the data into CRM.

I think there are many people in this newsgroup have been done it, :)
Does anyone can show us a tour to how to do it?

Simply, we have 5 .csv files, each contains [Name] [Address] [Accounts].

How can we import them to CRM?
(There are some links in [Accounts], so we can't import it by CRM directly)

Thanks.

Online screen changes not offline

Hi,

I found that when making form changes, after deploying it and
restarting IIS, you have to open up outlook (close it if it was open)
and then click on the root microsoft CRM folder (not on accounts or any
other of the sub folders). You will notice the first time you click on
it, it takes longer to load than usual, and during this time it seems
to synchronise any form changes.
