What is the current version of MS CRM?

Posted: 29 Aug 2005 09:09 AM PDT

CRM is currently at version 1.2. The next version to be released is 3.0.
Microsoft is skipping version 2 altogether. Version 3.0 will be available to
current CRM licensees around December and to the general public sometime in
the 1st quarter of 2006.

Printing Sales Orders

Posted: 26 Aug 2005 01:24 PM PDT

Another possibility is to use our Add-On WordMailMerge for MS CRM !
With this Add-On you will have a button on the Order Form of MS CRM which
opens Word and merges the data of the actual open sales order with a
Word-Template.
The result is a very customizable sales order Word-Doent with all your
custom fields!

If you are interested you could download a trial version at

Upgrade MSDN version

Posted: 26 Aug 2005 01:06 PM PDT

No, the keys on CRM 1.2 are tied to your organization name. If you have
bought a full license they will not work with the MSDN organizaition name

How to register 8-CD "CRM Sales Advisor" Kit

Posted: 26 Aug 2005 11:05 AM PDT

I hope it doesn't take months to resolve this. I spent a couple more
frustrating hours today on the phone trying to reach a human being at MBS in
Fargo, North Dakota. In the end, I was redirected to 800-456-0025, Option 2,
which is a Sales organization in Fargo. The receptionist said she'd put me on
the "Urgent Callback" list. Now it's the weekend again.

One thing that had me stumped for a while was the 25-digit "Product Key" on
the back of Disk Seven of my package. I was SURE this was the Product Key for
the package. Finally, I realized this was only the Product Key for the "CRM
Integration for Great Plains" disk.

There are only three ways to register this package, that I can see.
1) You need an Open License with 15-digit Authorization number and 8-digit
License number (I have neither).
2) You need a Volume License 7-digit Enrollment Number (which I don't have).
This is PROBABLY the number needed for this disk set, since Disk One mentions
that this set is for "Volume Licensing Customers".
3) You need a 25-digit Product Key. (Which I don't have)

callout com+ via proxystub

Posted: 26 Aug 2005 10:48 AM PDT

Matt has the right approach here for the reasons you've both listed. The
reason the CRM platform can't instantiate your component is because the code
explicitly forbids it. At least that's the way I remember it. I'd have to go
look at the 1.x code again, but I'm pretty sure it's forcing a
CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER and the COSERVERINFO pulls in the local server name. I
opened a bug or two against this design in the 1.x timeframe but was
overruled for security and stability reasons.

Queue-based callouts are your friends :)

Find contacts does not work?

I have created a team with only the admin inside and shared it with this

Modifying ID in PickList

Posted: 26 Aug 2005 08:39 AM PDT

The only way to add those values back into the list is the method I described.
There are always risks with unsupported changes, but as long as you are careful
with your XML editing, in this case, they are minimal. Keep a backup copy of
the file just in case and you can always import that back in to fix any problems
created. I would verify that the form can be edited (and the values) via the
form editor after the import if you are concerned though.

Let me give you more details.
For instance, we have a country picklist field for home and one for Company.

We have started to list only for home country:

ID = 1 -> Argentina
ID = 4 -> Belgium
ID = 7 -> France
ID = 13 -> USA

As you can see some ID are missing as we deleted some values. I am trying to
find a way to have some missing ID (2,3,5,6, ...) back to the list.

As for the "unsupported way" of exporting the customization XML and
modifying it: is there any risks associated to it?

Thanks for your help.

After modify isv.config, the CRM login error.

Posted: 26 Aug 2005 03:46 AM PDT

It's not a CRM problem, it's a XML issue. You have a & sign in there and that is
not valid in XML. With that in there, the file is not valid XML (see my comment
about renaming to a .xml and opening in IE).

Use &amp; instead and it should work.

Thanks Matt,

Finally, after testing, I know the reason: the isv.config cannot hold some
kinds of URLs, for example:
"http://support.euro.dell.com/uk/en/index.asp?referrer=%2Fuk%2Fen%2Fhome%2Easp&segment =DHS"


That link cannot be add to the URL. However, "http://www.dell.co.uk" is fine
(The example I mentioned on my first thread is not this link, but in my real
test, I use the long url, it doesn't work.)

I think this is a bug in MSCRM, hopefully it will be solved out in CRM 3.0

Showing All Activities in Workflow

Posted: 25 Aug 2005 11:11 PM PDT

This works great if the activities are associated with an Opportunity and there
isn't another sales process needed. unfortunately, there is no way to do this
though with the normal workflow process. A page could be developed though that
pd the workflow definition and displayed the activities.

Hi,

You can accomplish this by using the wait command in the workflow. Create a
salesproces with stages for each task. Each stage defines 1 task (activity)
and the wait condition for this stage is the completion or cancellation of
the task.
Activities are added to the activities screen everytime a stage is
completed, so the user can only complete this activity. On the other hand
there's a seperate tab in the activities screen which will show all upcoming
activities for this sales proces.

Launching an .Executable through the ISV.config file

Posted: 25 Aug 2005 05:28 PM PDT

Thanks guys. I tried formatting the url to look like file:///C:/ but the
browser did not like that (it was probably an IE setting). I'm going to try
to call it from a shared directory on the network to see how that works.
