Jakob:

The accounts in CRM are in the admin group. By the way, CRM is installed on
Win2k3 server and exchange is also 2k3.

Thanks for the response Jakob.

CRMcontact API - Retrieve

Posted: 02 Feb 2005 07:13 AM PST

i would hope it would not void support :-)

if you do updates directly in sql you are risking voiding support but
reading is not an issue. Lets say you want to update an account with
accountnumber=123 etc. While you could use the crmquery class and fetchxml
to query accounts for that accountnumber it is far far faster to run a query
against the accountbase table through sql for that accountnumber then get
the objectid and finally use the sdk to update the account record by passing
the sdk the objectid for the record.

I guess it gets down to the amount of data. If you are only manipulating
small data sets then doing everything through the sdk is a valid approach
however as soon as your datasets increase you will see more performance
benefits by reading the crm tables directly.

adding side tabs

Posted: 01 Feb 2005 12:35 PM PST

You can add these items via the ISV.Config. Take a look at the CRM SDK for more
information.

Note that "other contacts" cant just be "added" to the lead. You would need to
write an ASPX page that provided this functionality and the underlying database
support for it.

Thanks for the great advise, but I had to make the change to a

ok this is an ARM chip clone so the processor is supported. Looks like the

Microsoft to see if they have a later install or geting them to help you
verify whether this should work.

Dave,
Unfortunately that only works for forms that are presented from a button or

It is the next display from my form when I am just doing a
response.direct("url") that it isn't working.

Cross-Atlantic CRM Deployment Performance.

Posted: 31 Jan 2005 05:29 PM PST

Matt,

Thanks for the insight and good luck with your "satellite" deployment
project. I'm beginning to believe that unless you have a high bandwidth/low
latency connection to a given remote location, the users in that remote
location will have to accept slow performance or not use the application at
all. As is our East Coast facilities would rate the performance of SFO as
"acceptable". I'll be working with other groups within my department to
reduce application latencies between L.A. and the U.K. as best we can, but
it sounds like there is a limit to what can be done with this release of
MSCRM. I'm with you in hoping Microsoft makes WAN performance as a high
priority, especially when considering global corporations.

Thanks again,

Ron

Data migration - CRM tables and picklists

Posted: 31 Jan 2005 02:35 PM PST

> Does a CRM picked list use a linked table? 

Picklist values are stored in XML Files and StringMap table in MSCRM
database

look for the table StringMap, the key is objecttypecode field (ex. account =
1) and the AttributeName field (CFPxxxx) the displayed string is stored in
Value field
and the hidden value/code is stored in AttributeValue field

Automatically Create Accounts in CRM

Posted: 31 Jan 2005 12:01 PM PST

DTS can't really be used to load data into CRM. There are ties to the security
that you won't be able to set on your own.

The best bet for tis type of process is toeither write your own code using the
CRM SDK or use a product like Scribe.

Hi Matt!

I was hoping to learn if it is possible to create accounts in MS CRM from
the back end. I've been recently exposed to DTS in SQL Server and was
wondering if I could use our website to store company information of people
who sign up for our newsletter in a temporary data table. At the end of the
day I would run a DTS package that would import these records in to the CRM
Accounts database. That way, the next day our sales/service folks can see
all the prospective accounts that have requested information from us. Thanks
for any guidance!

intranet & wan (Web) access to MSCRM: Any security issues to consider?

No, IIRC, ActiveX is a pretty important part of this. If they're looking to
avoid the use of activeX because of security, then show them that you
manually put their CRM site into 'trusted sites'.

This isn't a "supported" solution. You would basically need to modify the
unserlying ASPX to include the calls you want and then tap into the base call to
process the save.

MS CRM and Siebel

Posted: 31 Jan 2005 12:19 AM PST

Two comments about Siebel to MSCRM:

1) Scribe has templates (which will need adjustment based on your conversion
needs) that you can use to move date from Siebel to MSCRM
2) Siebel Attachments (do you have any?) must be "un-compressed" before they
may be moved into MSCRM (or any target for that matter). There are two
programs usually available in the Siebel root directory: "ssemuzip.exe" and
"sseunzip.exe". I use the first "ssemuzip.exe" because it allows me to pull
information about how the attachments are linked.

Every few days Windows update tells me that I have new updates to install. It is a fix for Word 2010 and is shown as important. I intentionally deselected it the last time I installed updates because it is not the version I have installed. Why is this happening and how can I prevent this?

Word 2013 Resizes Window when left open

If I have a document open in MS Word and minimize the window to be able to work on something else, when I return to the window, it resizes itself making font and tabs very large.  Zoom is still set at 100% (standard when it looks normal).  When I close and reopen the document, it goes back to a normal view.  How do I fix this?

Lately...my 'help' will not expand or populate when 'clicked' selected..I  noticed an icon in the lower taskbar that says "on/off' line--even this doesn't change, although it seems to take you automatically to 'help' and the whole Microsoft.com  world where you have to go in and select thee appropriate os, etc.etc, etc whereas IF  I could get the help that was installed it would be product specific...

Revisions pane started appearing with every comment

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 11:50 AM PDT

I'm still getting used to the 2013 version of Word. When I was playing around with Review and Track Changes options to get my text markups to display to my preference, I invoked the dreaded Revisions Pane. Now it appears every time I go to make a new comment because I keep trying to close the accursed window. Besides the distraction of the pane popping up, it also diverts my cursor off course when I try to type comments on the right side of the page. All of my efforts to change the Track Changes settings to what they were before have been futile. Please make the pane go away! I will live with it on one side of my screen for now, but at the cost of my sanity.

Windows 8 Compatibility Issues for Microsoft Office 2007

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 11:24 AM PDT

I got a new Windows 8 laptop about a little over a year ago and loaded up my Office 2007 version to it. Since then I've had a ton of problems, including the fact that auto-save doesn't work at all, which causes a LOT of problems for me.

I heard there was a compatibility download that you can purchase and all I can find online is just buying the software completely new, and I don't want to do that. 

Do you know where I can download/buy that compatibility for Office 2007 (purchased IN the year 2007) for my Windows 8 laptop?

Thanks!

mail merge in Word 2013 is a mail merge main document. Word cannot find its data source

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 08:28 AM PDT

Issues with mail merge in Word 2013

Client has a membership database. Every few weeks a list of new members is downloaded from the database as "Welcomeletter.csv" & it is merged with a document "Welcome letter.doc". Individual Welcome letters for each new member is printed & mailed.  The csv always had the same name & the newly downloaded csv file overwrote the old one. All the client had to then do was to open the main document "Welcome letter.doc" & print. The client had Windows XP & Office 2003. The mail merge used to work just fine in there.

We have now upgraded the client to Windows 7 & Office 2013 & it has been a nightmare. The association is not remembered, the main document asks for the correct data file, but pointing it to the correct data file does not help. The Word document needs to be told to forget the association & the csv file has to be re-associated with the document, every single time.  You do not have to reinsert the fields.

The following steps are the fastest way to get it done. But it does not make sense.

  1. When I Open the "Welcome      letter.doc" I get a prompt
         Opening the Document will run the following SQL Command:
         SELECT * FROM G:\WelcomeLetter.CSV
         Data from your database will be placed in the document, Do you want to continue.     
  2. I say NO ,  the document opens      , I go to Mailings , Select Recipients , use an existing list
  3. I then point to G:\WelcomeLetter.CSV      & everything is fine, I do not even have to reinsert the mail merge   fields.

If I do say Yes instead of No,   it still does not work & I need to do the same, however there are few extra prompts.

The first error message says

227DA05D.DOCX is a mail merge main document. Word cannot find its data source, G:\WelcomeLetter.CSV

Note: The file numbers keep changing

  1. I have to Option to "Find  the data Source'
  2. When I find the data      source & point to it , I get another error message

If the mail merge data/header source WelcomeLetter.CSV no longer exists, choose Remove Data/Header Source to remove its association with 227DA05D.docx or remove All merge info to make 227DA05D.DOCX a normal word document.

  1. I elect to " Remove      Data/Header Source" , Open the document  go to Mailings , Select Recipients , use      an existing list I then point to G:\WelcomeLetter.CSV & everything is fine,      I do not even have to reinsert the mail merge fields.

 

Both the word & the csv files are stored in G:\ ( Network drive. They have always been stored there)

I have tried C:\ , C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\ ,  It does not affect

The word file used to originally be a doc file & I recreated a new docx file & no change.

Please help I am losing my mind

 

Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 does not open again after repair of computer

I bought the Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 (English) and downloaded the free Afrikaans spell checker as well.

The German language pack I had to by from Microsoft. I downloaded it. Everything worked fine.

But now, after the repair of my computer, Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 does not want to load again with the CD.

What must I do now?

I only get now Word 2007 but only in Afrikaans with English and Afrikaans spell checker.

I also don´t get the German Spell Checker any-more.

My computer has three users.  First user: German

                                                      Second user: Afrikaans

                                                      Third user: English (South Africa)

Everything worked very well before the repair.

The first user got everything, also the menu, from Microsoft Home and Student 2013 in German. Also with the German Spell Checker.

The second user got everything in Afrikaans. With Afrikaans Spell Checker.

The third user got everything in English (South Africa). With English (South Africa) Spell Checker.

I have Microsoft windows 7 Ultimate.

Thank you, in advance, for your help.

Word crashed when trying to define new multilevel list

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 01:56 AM PDT

Hi Expert

I have some problems defining a new multilevel list if the cursor is placed within a paragraph using the List Bullet or List Bullet 2 style. If I do the following Word crashes:

  • Apply List Bullet style to a paragraph
  • Apply List Bullet 2 style to the following paragraph
  • Modifying both styles, e.g. changing the font size to 9
  • Place the cursor in the first paragraph with the List Bullet style applied
  • Click Define new multilevel list...

However it seems that this behaviour is only related to Word 2007 - I have tested on three different machines which all do the same. But when testing on a machine with Word 2010 or Word 2013 everything seems to be working fine.

Any ideas?

Microsoft Office 2013 Has Stopped Working

Posted: 02 Jun 2014 11:06 PM PDT

My brother attempted to open a Microsoft 2010 word file from his flash drive when this error occurred. When I attempt to open any Microsoft Office 2013 application, it first tells me "Word failed to launch in safe mode. Do you want to start repair?" I click yes, then, it proceeds to say that "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed." When I try to open a file already created in, for example Microsoft Word 2013, it tells me "Microsoft Word is trying to recover your information..." that dialog box disappears. I then attempt to open the file again, and a new dialog box appears, saying, "Word couldn't start last time. Safe mode could help you troubleshoot the problem, but some features might not be available in this mode.   Do you want to start in safe mode?" I click yes. and then the process repeats. When I went to Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features, I then right clicked the Office Home and Student Suite 2013, and clicked "change" Office then opened a window to repair it's programs which also failed. It says "Something went wrong. Sorry we ran into a problem. Go online for additional help. Error Code 30029-4"  I am no longer sure of what other options I have short of uninstalling and reinstalling the Office Suite. I have also checked the computer for viruses and the like from my brother's flash drive via Vipre, possibly ruling out malicious software. I only know so much about these kind of issues however.

When you click on either link in a Word document, you get in Google Chrome

If you paste either url directly into Google Chrome, it works fine.

 

Why do the links not work in Word?

Key tips and enhanced screen tips accessibility

Posted: 02 Jun 2014 09:09 PM PDT

Hello,

I teach Office to vision impaired students to assist them in gaining employment.

To assist our blind students I am currently trying to create a document that lists all the key tips (keystrokes) and enhanced screen tips (descriptions) for each of the commands on each of the ribbon tabs in Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint, both 2010 and 2013.

At the moment I am manually checking each tab and typing the information into an Excel spreadsheet.  This is a very tedious process as I first need to list all the individual button names then the enhanced screen tips and then the keytips.

Is there an easier way to create this list i.e. by using a macro to extract the information into a Word document or Excel spreadsheet etc.

Looking forward to your assistance,

Selecting the Correct Edition

Posted: 24 Jun 2005 01:11 PM PDT

Project in any edition is installed as single user software. There is no
difference between the two versions as far as the number of people who can
use the software or access a file at the same time. Basically it is like
word or excel or other microsoft apps. If it is installed on the machine you
are at, you can run it. The first one to open a file with that software is
the one who has write access to it. Others can open it for reading, but they
won't get to see any changes until the person with it open saves changes,
and then the person who is reading closes and re-opens the file. Judging by
what you say, Project Standard should be sufficient. It is up to them to
decide how many licences they need for active users.

Assigning Multiple resources to a task

Posted: 24 Jun 2005 12:26 PM PDT

Lak,

Please also check your Duration and Work fields by inserting them into the
table you are viewing (if not already viewable there). My guess is that the
Duration is 40 hours or 5 days, and the Work is 200 hours. This would happen
if you did not remove your resources from the task prior to changing the
Duration to 40 hours. This can be corrected by changing the Duration to "1d"
or "8h", leaving the resources in place (and assuming that the task type is
fixed units with the effort driven box checked).

I hope this helps.... :)

Date Range Work Formula

Posted: 24 Jun 2005 10:00 AM PDT

Not Really. Ultimately what I'm trying to get to is a view that shows by
task, the number of FTE's needed broken down by total and by month. I've been
able to calculate and FTE for the year because I can create a formula using
the total work field. I'm not able to create my formula broken down by month
because I'm not able to calculate the work being performed for a specific
range of time.

I have been able to export the Resource Usage view into excel and perform my
calculations there but I'd like to be able avoid doing that each time I want
to see the data by FTE.

Timescaled Baseline & BCWP Output

Posted: 23 Jun 2005 10:31 AM PDT

1) If you have added any tasks then those additions do not get rolled up
into the topline baseline, but they will show in the export data. Sumary
task baselines are NOT changed when you edit or change existing baseline
data from their subtasks.
That could be a reason.

2) Is the "baseline" valid? If you get good data from one baseline
(Baseline5) and not from the other it would suggest that the other baseline
has a problem of one sort or another. Perhaps the values in that baseline
are bad. I'd insert the relevant baseline fields (start, finish, cost ) for
both baseline and baseline5 and see if there are any discrepancies.

Can Resources Work More Than 24 hours Per Day?

Posted: 23 Jun 2005 10:29 AM PDT

If I have one request of the Project world it is that there is eventually a clear universally
accepted notion that Resources can be people, teams, robots, machines, bacteria etc.
The fact that the ones that can't report for themselves must have agents to do it for them, does
not mean they can't stand alone or in groups; that they do not have profound effects on Project
outcomes and in know way should they have to suffer levels of abstraction as to their productivity.
(100% is absolute.). I would never schedule or plan anything in other than a 24 hour project calendar.
It makes no sense and only works if you are willing to accept a large amount of variation
in you resource availability or restriction to the application of them.

Applying a custom calendar to a project

Posted: 23 Jun 2005 09:16 AM PDT

Hi Dave,

Create the custom calendar (Tools>Change Working Time> New).
You will also want to make sure that the definition of hours per day and
hours per week matches the calendar you created and change the default start
and end times in the Tool>Options calendar tab.
Apply the custom calendar to the project in Project>Project Information in
the calendar drop-down.
Change the Gantt chart to display the nonworking time from the custom
calendar. Format>Timescale and select the custom calendar from the Nonworking
time tab.
If you have created resources, check the Resource Sheet and change the Base
Calendar for the resources to the custom calendar as necessary.
Tasks without Task calendars will use the custom calendar for scheduling.


Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Julie

A summary task summarizes the tasks below. The duration of the summary task
is the elapsed duration from the earliest of the tasks it summarizes to the
finish of the latest task it summarizes. You can not edit this duration.

how do i represent ongoing tasks?

Posted: 23 Jun 2005 06:59 AM PDT

There is no such thing as an unending task in a project. Tasks are defined
as physical activities with an observable beginning and ending point. Some
tasks may be indeterminate in that they extend for the duration of the
project however long it lasts, such as the project manager's own job, and
Julie's suggestion to look up hammock tasks is how you can handle them, but
even hammock tasks will have a definite, albeit flexible, scheduled end
date.

MSP extends the dates of my task.

Posted: 23 Jun 2005 06:24 AM PDT

There is only a limited amount of mind-reading that Project can do for you.
You've said your task is a fixed duration task. The duration is the number
of working time units between when work is first performed and when it ends.
"Fixed duration" for a 5 day task that is presently starting on Monday does
not mean regardless of when it starts it will always end on Friday - it
means that whenever it starts it will always finish 5 days later. My task
is to assmble 50 widgets and I can assemble 10 widgets a day. If I start on
Monday, I'll finish the last widget on Friday, 5 days later. But if I get
delayed and don't start until Wednesday, that doesn't mean I only have to
assemble 30 widgets - I still have to do 50 and I still can only do 10 per
day. So the finish date has to change to the following Tuesday because
that's when my 5 days of duration will pass after the start on Wednesday AND
that really is the earliest possible date that I could finish all 50 of the
widgets I'm required to assemble in order to complete the Project's
deliverable. If your task is to do 150 widgets and you assign 3 resources
to it, that means each resource will do 50 widgets. Whether they work
together or separately, each resource will be required to do 50 widgets.
99% of the time that is an accurate description of the physical nature of
the work and Project has no way of knowing if this is one of the 1% that are
the exception.

A second misconception evident in your post is just what the task type means
and where it has some effect. Fixed duration, fixed work, and fixed units
all refer to the identity W=D*U that is at the core of all Project's
resource calculations. Remember your basic high school algebra - any linear
equation (y=mx+b) such as this one has a constant, an independent variable,
and a dependent variable. You change the independent variable and the
equation calculates the dependent variable. In Project, "b" is zero and
so the equation is "y=mx". Project lets you pick what term is the constant,
the "m", and what term is the independent variable, the "x". When you're
editing a resource assignment, that is changing one of the terms Work,
Duration, or Units, the item you are changing is the independent variable
and the task type setting instructs Project what to hold constant. If
you're changing Units and you want MSP to recalculate work, set the task to
fixed duration. If you're changing the Units and want Project to
recalculate the duration, set the task type to fixed work. If you're
changing the Units and the task type is left on Fixed Units (the default)
Project behaves as if the type were Fixed Work this go around. But if
you're NOT changing one of the values W, D, or U for resource assignments
that have already been made, the task type setting has absolutely no effect
whatsoever. In your "problem" example, you weren't changing any of those
values when you change the date he starts on the task - the work he's
required to do is the same, the duration for your resource is the same, and
the units he's assigned are the same - you've merely delayed the start date
when he begins to assemble his 50 widgets. And this is crucial to remember,
as far as these computations are concerned, Project doesn't know that any
other resources assigned to the task even exist.

When you have multiple resources each of them is considered to be
independent of all the others and the task duration shown on the Gantt chart
is measured from the time the earliest starting resource begins until the
latest finishing resource is done. But the W=D*U formula looks at each
individual resource in a vacuum. If Joe, Bill, and Fred are all scheduled
to start together and work for 10 days, then Bill is delayed a few days, Joe
and Fred will start their 10 together and Bill will come in a couple of days
after. After Joe and Fred have done their 10 days they go away. Fred
continues work by himself after they're gone until he's done his 10 day fair
share of the work. The durations for each resource's task have not changed,
they're each working for 10 days at 100% doing 1/3 of the total output of
the task, just like before and so task type settings have no effect at all,
there's nothing to recalculate. What has changed is the total time between
when the early bird gets started and the slow bird finishes, ie, the date
when all the required work of the task finally gets done. Anything else is
going to require hand adjustments on your part.

total work?

Posted: 23 Jun 2005 02:52 AM PDT

I don't know of any way to show work without assigning resources. However, I
have used the following technique for years to determine how many resources
are needed on a project.

I manage I.S. projects so there are multiple skill sets involved: Business
Analysts, Systems Analysts, Developers, QA staff and business reps. It is
important for me to know how much work belongs to each of these groups so
assigning a skill set to each task is a useful exercise. If you set up the
plan properly you can adjust the "max units" for each of the skill sets to
assign different numbers of resources to the project and see the effects on
end date.

Simultaneous task resourcing

Posted: 22 Jun 2005 11:16 PM PDT

If you have 2 tasks and 1 resource can work on both of them them
simultaneously for two hours and complete them, that implies he could
complete just one of them in only 1 hour, in other words, it requires 1
man-hour of effort to produce each task's deliverable. A 2 hour duration
task that produces 1 man-hour of output means that the resource works on it
at a 50% allocation - each hour of task time produces 1/2 hour of work
output. So for your 2 tasks, 1 resource, with work on both tasks together
completed in 2 hours, enter them as 2 2-hour duration tasks and assign your
resource at 50% units to each one.

Task Start/Finish Days

Posted: 22 Jun 2005 02:54 PM PDT

I don't want to specify a date, the finish date could be any Friday or also a
Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, depending upon where the previous task ends.

I have gotten around this for now by coding a 1 minute predecessor task with
a calendar where all the Fridays are blocked out. That way it can only start
on a Mon, Tue, Wed, or Thur, and will finish on Friday or before.

Thanks for the suggestion,
Betty

Thank you for the quick response.

However, I had gone there prior to posting the question. What I am seeing
are the default calendars and a calendar I added. However, there are other
calendars that were added by a client who gave me this schedule. There are
about 4 or 5 of these added calendars. None of these calendars are showing up
in the tools/organize/calendar tab. And, none of these have been assigned to
an activity (with the exception of the one I added). Why aren't these other
calendars showing up in the above add/remove tab?
