Microsoft CRM - installation of MS CRM Active X components

Microsoft CRM - installation of MS CRM Active X components


installation of MS CRM Active X components

Posted: 31 Jan 2005 06:46 AM PST

Hi Basman,

If you logon as a user with administrator rights and that activate the Lead
import functionality, the active-x component will be downloaded and installed
on youre local machine.

Standard Microsoft CRM gives the user the first time the option to install
the active-x component, once this isn't done corretly the first time, there's
no way to install it a second time. I presume that that registry is holding
some kind of setting. The only way to by pass this is to logon as a user with
admin rights.

HELP! I changed every users' business unit

Posted: 29 Jan 2005 06:13 PM PST

The problem is, when you move a user, it remvoes all their security roles. As a
result, you now have no users with any security roles. You may be able to
manually fix this, but it will require manaully making changes in both the
database and in Active Directory. It may be easier to contact support and ask
them for assistance. Otherwise, if you are willing to mess wiht it, you need to
create the correct records in the SystemUserRoles table and then add the user to
the approapriate AD groups to reflect the System ADmin role for the BU they are
now in.

Hello all

I am using CRM 1.2 on Win2K3 Standard. I setup a new business unit and moved
every user to the new business unit, including CRM admin. Now I can't login
to the Web GUI or Deployment manager because I keep getting Invalid User Auth
message and now nothing works.

Any ideas please? Please don't tell me reinstall is the only way around it.
Besides, doesn't it seem a bit silly that the software allows you to do
something this drastic, so easily without any warning?

Anyway, I would be grateful for any help you can provide.

All the best

Another SFO Offline Issue

Posted: 29 Jan 2005 10:57 AM PST

I believe I was not logged into our domain (when I powered up my laptop after
arriving at the office, it was in hibernate mode => I had been running on
cached credentials).

I rebooted and logged into the domain and everything was ok.

new database location question

Posted: 28 Jan 2005 10:14 AM PST

Hey CRM Gurus,
I found some previous messages with links to microsoft about this
problem, but those links seems to have moved.
The error I am getting is "Metadata cache error" I know that
replication is not turned on in the database. Some of the other
articles refer to CRM version 1.0 and I am afraid to try those steps in
our 1.2 installation. Does anyone know the answer to this? I would
really like to get this solved before start of business Monday, or I
will have to repoint CRM back to the crappy server until I can solve
this.

Slugs for Picklist Value

Posted: 28 Jan 2005 09:37 AM PST

Well, I've done some research on my own and have been unable to get picklists to
properly expand to the related code description. I guess this is another reason
why this is not supported, it's not complete. :-(

The best way to implement conversation scripts ???

Posted: 28 Jan 2005 07:07 AM PST

Guess that's what happens when you read too quickly....

You might also want to look at something like Genesys Labs products. They have
a full call center suite and an adapter for CRM.

"Thank you for calling the Microsoft CRM line, my name is $NAME, I see
you're calling about account number $ACCOUNT_NUMBER, is this correct?". That
kind of stuff.

Fanny, I've seen this stuff in relation to, of all things, IP-based PBXes.
If this isn't what you're looking for, you'll have to custom-create a popup
window for the products section of CRM.

Which one was it about?

How to decrease heading levels by one and change titles to heading 1 globally

Posted: 31 May 2014 12:54 PM PDT

Hi,

I used Title style for chapter titles and Heading 1, 2, 3 for sub-chapters and paragraphs. I'm trying to generate Table of Contents, but the titles are not being included. It seems that I was not following required MS Word conventions of heading levels, so I would like to do so now. I would like to decrease heading levels by one and change title style to heading 1 globally in my document. Is there a way to do it?

A typical Problem with Typing and Spellcheck in Word 2013 with Indic language Bangla (India)

Posted: 30 May 2014 07:29 PM PDT

I am using

  • Windows 8.1 (64-bit) 
  • Office 2013 (32-bit)
  • Microsoft's Indic Language Font Mangal developed by C-DAC, India
  • For Phonetic English C-DAC ISM V6 Multi-lingual Interface (32-bit) for Bangla (India).

I have installed Language Interface and Proofing Tools as shown below (Microsoft Dictionary for Bangla is not yet available) -

I typed Bangla Word সম্বন্ধিরা using same set of tools which prints itself here correctly, and also in the file name of following screenshot when it was saved on my computer BUT the problem lies elsewhere as described below with the help of following screenshot and areas marked with numbers 1, 2, 3 in red boxes -

  • In Word 2013 the word prints differently (five separate letters) as shown by [1] above
  • When I run Spellcheck the word shows correctly (four separate letters of which the second letter is combined) as shown by [2] above
  • As [2] above is the correct one, I need to select that from box [3] and click 'change' button, so it can replace the spelling marked with [1] but, as you see, box [3] is blank, and therefore, I cannot do what is needed to be done here.
  • Correct spelling as identified with [2] seems like an image, not text, and therefore, cannot be copied and pasted to correct the word as identified with [1]

This is only an example. Numerous are similar cases in my Word file that I am presently working on.

Question is how can I possibly get over this situation?

Any practical hint will be welcome, and appreciated.

Thank you all for your valuable time spent on reading this case.

OFFICE a $100 rip-off

Posted: 30 May 2014 06:18 PM PDT

I just purchased OFFICE upon the recommendation of three retail outlets.  I told each that I wanted a word processor and each told me to buy OFFICE.  I did and after going on line and installing OFFICE, I find out it is only a lease and I will have to pay $100 every year to use it.  I really have no use for most of OFFICE, all I need or want is a good word processor.  Why isn't the information printed prominently on the package?  Why wasn't I informed before install?  Do I have any recourse?  IS THERE A GOOD WORD PROCESSOR PACKAGE I CAN BUY OUTRIGHT AND HAVE FOR A LONG AS I WANT?  Recommendation -- please.  I'm 73 and I'm not great with computers but I'm not stupid either.  I just want a good word processor.  My discussions as to my needs were with BEST BUY,  STAPLES, & OFFICE DEPOT.  I was looking to buy a new computer and wanted a word processor for it.   Wal-Mart had the best price on OFFICE so I bought it there, now I'm stuck with what I don't need or want.

Printing issue, documents no longer printing in order

Posted: 30 May 2014 01:02 PM PDT

My company just upgraded my office from 2000 to 2010, with this has come a lot of headaches for me.  I need to be able to do batch document printing so I would name my documents, 1document, 2document, 3 document and I could get them to print in order when I was using word 2000 now they just print in random order even with being named in order.  I am sure it's an easy fix, unfortunatly I don't have access to the spooler settings on the printer so hopefully there is a work around other than printing them one by one.

Why does the recommended placement of a Style in the Style Pane change after I've assigned it?

Posted: 30 May 2014 12:06 PM PDT

I created a Template with a set of Styles that our company uses. I've gone into Manage Styles and assigned a recommended placement for all the Styles. I assigned an often-used Style to a priority of "3." I sort the list "as recommended" and check the box to "Show Recommended Styles Only".  Then I save, restrict to "Limit Formatting to Permitted Styles" and save as the file as a .dotx.

I then double-click to open the file, save it as a .docx and begin to create a document. After I've worked on it for a day or 2 (saving, closing, etc.), I find that the Style I've assigned to "3" has changed to be "last." I don't understand why this is happening or how to fix it.  The other Styles stay in the correct order. The .docx that I'm working on still has the formatting limited to permitted styles only, and I haven't even opened the "Manage Styles" window.  And I don't have the "automatically update" box checked.

Can anyone help? 

Thanks,

Susan

Formatting text in accordance to text colour

Posted: 30 May 2014 11:31 AM PDT

Hello Everyone.

I have a large word document that totals over 5000 words that I am wishing to print. It is in the form of a survey, with questions answered in the format shown below.

1. What is your name? John Smith

I currently have the question and answers in the same font and style, but the answers are printed in red text. However, I wish to print the file from a black and white printer and was wondering if there was a tool similar to the find and replace tool that could find all of the red text in the file and apply formatting to it i.e. make it all italic.

Thank you in advance

Help, copying address from document to envelope Word 2010

Posted: 30 May 2014 09:56 AM PDT

I hope I can explain this properly but when I copy an address from a proof of service document into the envelope portion of mailings, it does not format the address properly.  It will run the lines together.  With Word 2000, I would have no issues, it would properly paste the address into the envelope without having to manually space the address.  As an example, when I paste into 2010 it looks something like this...

Jeff So and So 3455

This Street, Los

Angeles CA 90070.

Does anyone have a solution to this?  I know it doesn't seem like a big deal to have to manually change the address when printing envelopes but when you print 200 envelopes a day, every second spared is a very good thing.  Thanks for your time.

Bookmarks disappearing/deleted after running the TOC Update

Posted: 30 May 2014 09:43 AM PDT

I have a large document with a large TOC using several different styles to create links within the document from the TOC as styles normally do.

I have also inserted bookmarks into many parts of of the TOC to quickly hyperlink from within the document back to certain locations in the TOC.

Whenever I add a new section.sub-section into the document....and then right click in the TOC and Update Entire Table.......the update will run.....it will add in the new headers and or sub headers......but it deletes every bookmark I previously created......so...I am forced to re create many many bookmarks on every update to the document. I have researched exstensively but can't figure out why the bookmarks get wiped on the TOC update.

Any info would be appreciated.

Word Starter 2010 - Everything Appears Half Size In Print Layout

Posted: 30 May 2014 09:25 AM PDT

Half Size Problem

I have the preloaded Office Starter software. All has been going well in Word (and Excel).

I like to work in Print Layout in A4. That is - very basic.

Suddenly, any new document, set to A4 (Page Layout - Size) with a standard 11 pt. font, is appearing small in Print Layout.

I haven't adjusted any of the settings; so the only way to get to a working format {when set to display in Print Layout) is to re_size in A3.

Has anyone had this problem ?

Table pasted from EXCEL spreadsheet into Word won't join table created from in Word.

Posted: 30 May 2014 07:45 AM PDT

I have a Word document with a table in it that I created from scratch in Word.  Then I pasted a table from an EXCEL spreadsheet into the Word document below the table created in Word, and I can't get the EXCEL table to join the Word table, even with the two tables' "Text wrapping" set to "None".  When I delete the paragraph mark at the end of the Word table, the first character in the top left cell of the table from EXCEL gets deleted, and the two tables won't join.  But if I delete the table pasted from EXCEL, and create a table from scratch in Word, and delete the spaces between the two tables they do join, so I know how to make two tables join, just not if the bottom one is an EXCEL-created table.  Can someone tell me how to let the EXCEL table join the Word table?  Is it maybe because the EXCEL table might have automatic links, or something else attached to it from EXCEL?  It is a simple table with only text and no formulas.  Thank you.

Tracked changes nightmare - everything gone!

Posted: 30 May 2014 06:47 AM PDT

I've trawled the web for an answer, but I'm coming up short...

I've been working on editing a long document (100k words) over the last couple of weeks. I've been using 2 different computers, and the tracked changes have been showing up in two colours - for "Username1" and "Username2" depending on which device I'm using.

On the computer corresponding to "Username1" I've just upgraded from Word 2003 to Word 2010. I opened up the file today, only to find all the changes I'd made to the document in the previous week have vanished - right from the point where "Username2" edits ended. 

It should have looked like this when I opened the file:

- Username 1 edits (10k words)

- Username 2 edits (12k words)

- Username 1 edits (12k words)

- Rest of unedited document (66k words)

But it looks like this:

- Username 1 edits (10k words)

- Username 2 edits (12k words)

- Rest of unedited document (78k words)

It looks like the upgrade to Word 2010 has stripped out all the changes made since I started the last session. Or perhaps they're hiding in there somewhere and I can't access them. Privacy settings maybe? I can't figure it out, why it would remove only the last round of editing and not the previous ones. 

Anyway, I didn't have a chance to send the non-stripped-out version to my cloud account before this happened - and it looks like the removal of the changes is permanent as the missing edits don't show up in other programs I've tried to use to get them back, including plain text. I was wondering if anyone knows what might have happened, and whether I can get these changes back?? They amount to about a third of the work I've done on this document, and will take me a week to go through them all again. 

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help!!!

Default measurement in Word 2013

Posted: 30 May 2014 01:23 AM PDT

I've recently upgraded to Office 365 and Word 2013. I've noticed that measurements for paragraph indents/spacing and tabs in dialog boxes are shown as 'px' - pixels - and revert to this even when entered as points or centimetres. Changing the default measurement under Options, Advanced doesn't solve it. If I have set a paragraph indent and just need to check it, I can't because it is shown as pixels. I can't understand why anyone would need pixels, except for producing html documents. Can anyone help please.

Bug in MS Word 2013? Not printing last digit of expression in the denominator.

Posted: 29 May 2014 09:40 PM PDT

This is a very annoying bug for a math teacher...

So it appears that the last digit of expressions do not print for seemingly random equation objects in MS Word.

Here's a sample:

And here's what happens when I print:

Here's another sample from another document:

And here's what happens when I print:

Note that the second sample has plenty of other expressions that printed just fine.

Once an equation doesn't print properly, it's always the same equation that prints incorrectly. As in, number 7 above always prints wrong whereas number 4 always seems to print fine.

The problem still occurs with other computers connected to other printers.

Perhaps a coincidence, but I did notice that the error is always the last digit of a trinomial in the denominator. Seems oddly specific...reminder note, the expression for problem 4 fits that criteria and printed fine.

Anyone have any thoughts or insights?

Autosize text to fit a shape in Microsoft Word 2010

MS Word 2007 won't recognize "indentify" as misspelled

Posted: 29 May 2014 07:09 PM PDT

I'm running Windows 7. And this is a new issue. Up until around yesterday, Word would flag "indentify" as misspelled. But for some reason, it's stopped doing it.  For the most part, it everything else seems to be working correctly in spell check, except for this one instance. (At least, this is the only instance that I've noticed.)

I've already cleared my custom dictionary. I've shut down my computer and restarted it. Neither of which works. I tried live chatting with Microsoft support, but they just want to sell me the premium support something or other.

They suggested it might be a virus issue - My virus software hasn't detected anything

They also suggested maybe some type of file corruption - I don't know how to check for this.

I welcome any assistance on this matter.

I have both Office 2007 and 2013, and Windows 7.  I really like some of the features of the new Excel 2013, but I can't stand the look of Word 2013.  I would like Word documents (.doc and .docx) to open with Word 2007 by default, but Excel documents to open with Excel 2013 by default.  When I right-click a word document, only Word 2013 is shown (under both "Recommended Programs" and "Other Programs"), not Word 2007.  How can I set the defaults the way I want them?  Any help is much appreciated.

how do I fix error 30088-8

'Comments' shows up every time i open a particular document

Posted: 29 May 2014 05:27 PM PDT

I unchecked the markup option, saved it (also saved as in another place) then reopened it and there it is again.

If i email it to another party would the mark up-shown option be default?

Normally to get rid of the changes i just have to accept it, but I can't even accept the changes- the bubbled comments doesn't show up, just that the changes are underlined and in red.

Header size issue

Posted: 29 May 2014 04:33 PM PDT

I have an issue with a document where, only on the last page of a section, the header is 3-4" high instead of the normal size in the rest of the section. It's doing this in several sections (which are actually chapters). Dragging the header guide to change the size only serves to move the header to the previous page.  I used a template which I modified to include my own style sheet. The issue does not exist in the original template, but I can't figure out for the life of me what I might have done. Am not a Word expert but usually able to navigate my way through sections, headers, etc. without any issues. Any suggestions are appreciated.


VIsio 2013 and Microsoft Word 2013 ... Visio starts out ok .. and once edited ... too BIG for word!! HELP!!

Posted: 29 May 2014 10:35 AM PDT

Hello everyone,

Thank you for taking the time to review this question.  I will set this up the best I can.

I start with a template provided by my employer that is a word document that has a visio drawing that requires  editing.  When I open the visio drawing everything seems fine, I edit the sections required and then when I go back to the word document ... the visio drawing is now WAY to big on the page and I am unable to make is smaller.

What am I missing?

I tried to drag the borders of the visio document from within the word document.. no luck

I tried to copy the visio document from within visio and the paste in to word .. no luck

Thanks for any input and the upcoming discussion.

I didn't realize you could enable root, but that's not really my main

CUPS printing & LPD

A good half of the school computers are Win98 anyway. I agree about
the probable instability, which is why I've got a master clone disk -
20 minutes and they'll be back as day 1.

 

How do you kill anyone with a computer? Drop it from an upstairs
window I suppose. The school is single-storey.
 

I could not find any CUPS setup tools. What should I be installing?
How am I supposed to find out about this - the man pages are obscure
(which is being polite.)
 

It will be - I'll get called in to fix it when it breaks. At least I
know how to do that on Windows

 

The error message was printed on the printer, so I will attempt to
type it in verbatim:

The Postscript interpreter in your printer is 2014.108
This printour requires at least version 2015 or greater
To make a Unix/Linux Gecko Browser (eg Netscape or Mozilla) produce
output that will work on any level 2 interpreter change the "Print
Command" to use ghostscript to convert the output down to basic level
2: eg change the print command from
lpr [OPTIONS]
to (all on one line)
gs -q -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=- -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH
-dMozConvertedToLevel2=true -l lpr [OPTIONS]

it then goes on with similar suggestions for printing to/from a file.

Unfortunately there isn't much of a clue about whete to find the
command which needs changing - is it inside Firefox, or part of CUPS -
or somewhere else? 

No, this is my home printer.
 

But if Linux is ever going to move out of a geek niche into the
mainstream, then I would suggest that is an essential change - the
icons are important.

System-users and-groups?

No hard-fast rule
 

That very much depends on how the binaries are used/compiled. It is
certain that (for example) /bin/login and /bin/passwd need to be SUID
root because of what they are doing, but what about /bin/ping or
/usr/sbin/sendmail?
 

With most Linux, root need only "belong" to group "root" because such
group membership is not relevant. 'mail', 'bin', 'adm' tend to belong
to their own group only. I'm assuming 'mailmaster' owns/runs the MTA,
and that may also be in it's own group.
 

I haven't seen such a recommendation in a long time. Typically, unless you
have some very specific reason to change things, you should keep the ownership
as the distribution installed it. You are quite welcome to make your own
analysis of each binary on your system, and decide what permissions and/or
ownership is appropriate, but have you looked at the size of that task?
 

Were that the case, why the convention to have "system" UIDs below 50 or
100 or similar, and user UIDs above that?
 

Depends on how the binary is written/compiled. Group ownership for a
specific reason isn't that uncommon. And it's not specific to the kernel.
Generally, the user ID tests are written into the binary.
 

Not specific to the bin user, but this may depend on file/device ownership.
 

The 'halt' (and perhaps 'shutdown') user was a mechanism to allow certain
users (who were given the password) the ability to shutdown the system. Look
at the "login shell" in /etc/passwd for those users, and see that logging in
as that user runs that command. Same is true for user 'sync'. In most
installations I've seen, these accounts are disabled (* in password field)
but a root user could log in as that user in order to run that command - and
may or may not save some keystrokes. I've also seen those accounts reset to
have '/bin/true' as the login shell.
 

Distribution dependent.
 

That is in general what is done.
 

Why? What need do you see?
 

Distribution dependent. If your man command uses /var/catman/ the man
binary may be 'SGID man' to be able to write the formatted man pages to
that directory, but that's about it.
 

No.
 
bin-and sbin-directories and most of the files (executables) in them 

OK
 

Oh... newbie. Ever wonder why '.' is not commonly in a user's PATH, and
why it should NEVER be in root's? Let's just say that's the result of
decades of experience at universities. One really funny joke is to put
a file in a "common" directory named 'ls-l' or 'mroe' or similar that
ran the 'rm -Rf' command on the user's home directory. Great fun - lots of
laughter - teaches typing skills.
 

Daemon? Sure - but a lot of that depends on how the binary is written, and
how it is compiled in addition to what the daemon is trying to do.
 

[compton ~]$ grep auth /etc/syslog.conf
# Don't log private authentication messages!
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none /var/log/messages
# The authpriv file has restricted access.
authpriv.* /var/log/secure
[compton ~]$

There might be one reason.
 

That's what 'su' and 'sudo' (and similar) are for. Assume John Doe is in
user 'root' and decides to install an "improved" /bin/login. Or to first
chmod certain files in /boot/ and them remove them. Tracks? What tracks?
 

'info su' the wheel requirement is a BSDism.

in a proper distro, rather than just a minimal one.

So far, I've tried Zipslack and DSL.
Found Zipslack far more flexible, but couldn't get
a good webbrowser going on it.(segmentation faults)

Whenever I get a newer computer, (which I guess
I'll eventually have to, when this 1997 box kicks

When you installed XP, you chose to use NTFS...ok, we got that - and XP

How to find active grub.conf

Thanks!
 
Of course, there does be menu.1st. But I don't know /boot/grub/menu.1st
is active menu.1st since each partition has its own menu.1st.
