Quote Template Question

Posted: 15 Mar 2005 10:55 AM PST

Got a reply back from Ternek Christian to change the return above the table
to 1 pt. Also ensured the paragraph formatting was 0/0 paragraph spacing and
single line spacing on both.

I also changed the one after the product table. Looks fine in Print Layout
with what appears to be a 1 pt gap, BUTwhen I view it in Print Preview or
print it, the first product and the Title row are 1 point joined, but the
other products again have a bigger gap! So what do I do now?

Any suggestions would be helpful as we really want to use this feature to
print out our quotes, without resorting to a third-party product at this time.

Thanks so much!

Using slugs like this is very picky. The syntax needs to be absolutely
correct, and it is often case senstive. The table names and field names
should be taken from schema manager, not SQL server. You can also check the
field names by looking at the customise form view of the object in question
under the schema tab.

in the internaladdressbase, there is "telephone1" field, which in the form it
is called main phone.
If I'm not mistaken, there is only one main phone in the form, and there is
no more addresses in the user form. So where do these other main phone is
appear?
Hope you understand my english. Thanks for all of the replies

Chat with a MSFT expert about CRM performance, Mar 15-17, HERE!

Posted: 14 Mar 2005 01:51 PM PST

The problem for us with regard to pinpointing the issue is that we can
"predict" it. It happens after a couple of days. Also other web applications
on the server do not have any problems which makes us suspect SQL but we
cannot see any processor usage above normal (10-15%).

w3wp.exe takes up about 450MB RAM.

The other bizarre thing that often happens with this issue is that sometimes
we can "read" (view records) but if we try to save the record after making a
change the system will hang and then we have to restart SQL to get it to
work again.

There are about 35 users. CRM Server has 2GB RAM, on a dual proc server.
(Zeon - not sure of exact speed right now)

SQL is running 2GB RAM on a single processor box. But we are upgrading that
this weekend.

Posted: 11 Mar 2005 03:36 PM PST

Lisa,

Is this user the same user that you installed the operating system or SQL
with? If so not a good idea, make a new user with domain rights and log on
as that new user for the install.

Apart from that I think Paul was right in suggesting the AD in Native mode.
You can find this, START - Programs - Admin Tools - Active Directory Domain
and Trusts.
To check right click your domain and select properties.
To change right click your domain and select "Raise Domain Functional Level"
Then select native mode.

We have done several installs including our setup with SQL DNS CRM Exchange
AD, the lot and have had minimal to no issues. Have been running for a while
now without any problems. Not ruling out the timout factor as if you dont
have sufficient hardware this could also be the case.
What hardware are you running?

Good Luck!

Nathan

Microsoft Word - Word 2013 won't recognize printer envelope tray

Word 2013 won't recognize printer envelope tray

Posted: 19 Jul 2014 02:10 PM PDT

I'm running Word 2013 in a Windows 8.1 environment with an Epson 4540 printer. I also happen to be running Word 2010 on Windows 7 on another laptop computer. While it's no issue having the older system print envelopes, I cannot get Word 2013 to recognize that I have not only 2 printer trays but a top slot for envelopes on the Epson. They're simply not there so I can't even do a manual change to the proper tray. I looked through the "help" stuff and all it told me was that Word 2013 magically knows which printer tray to use. Except it doesn't.

I have tried reloading the printer driver, to no success. Epson's help people say this is a Word issue. If that's truly the case, does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!

Problem opening existing document

Posted: 19 Jul 2014 10:08 AM PDT

For some time now I've had problems opening existing documents.  It seems to be in all programs not just Word.  When I try and open something I get a windows installer message come up which then freezes everything and I have to log out and unable to install anything. Sometimes I am able to look 'on line'/open on-line when given the option and carry out limited editing .  Also can't save to existing folder, etc and end up having to use OneDrive if sending an attachment. I have Office 2007 installed and Vista on my Dell lap-top.  Has anyone ideas on what the problem may be and how to fix it.  I'm thinking it may be due to a Windows up-date.  Many thanks. Mandy

Protected Format that has fill in fiields

MS Office 2013 Has stopped working

Posted: 19 Jul 2014 09:29 AM PDT

Running Windows 7 Enterprise on Lenovo x240, everything is fully patched (BIOS, OS, Drivers, Office) in the attempt to solve this problem.

The office pack has been uninstalled and reinstalled + all windows updates.

I have removed all COM-Addin as recommended in other threads, all Non- Microsoft services are disabled during startup. I have uninstalled DisplayLink drivers and updated to latest version. The crash seems to be not influenced by the DisplayLink driver (same wether it is installed or not). Nothing helps.

Any of the Office application has the same problem.

Open a new document (empty template), click the FILE tab and the application crashes.

If a document is modified before clicking the FILE tab, it does not crash until either Save or Save As functions are clicked.

The problem is 100% reproducable - it is consistently failing.

I have now spend more than 4 hours trying all sorts of recommendations, I am now out of options. Please help!

Word not responding

Posted: 19 Jul 2014 09:23 AM PDT

Hello! I have never had trouble with Microsoft Word 2007-- I've found it to be a great and reliable program! However, just in the past two weeks, it's been freezing and "not responding" pretty much every day. I'm just wondering why this is suddenly happening and if there's some kind of update that I need to do in order to fix it. It seems strange to go from never having this problem to having it daily.

Thanks!

Apply changes in a Template to documents - quickly

Posted: 19 Jul 2014 05:39 AM PDT

Is it possible to propogate a change in a template to the suite of documents that we based on that template.

Scenario: a style in the template has been modified. How to quickly apply that change to the documents that were based on that template.

Usually I go to Style Pane, Manage Styles, Import/Export, Close Normal.dotm, Open the template in question (that had the modification), find the style(s) (or select old) that was changed, and Copy over to the document.

Not handy when there could be hundreds of documents based on that template.

Many thanks

Trying to copy from excel and Paste Hyperlink into a Word document...keep getting too much space in document

Posted: 18 Jul 2014 03:57 PM PDT

Ok, I have searched for an answer to this, but even MrExcel failed me on this one. :)

I am trying to take information gathered in Excel, and then transfer the information into a report template in Word. 

For example, say a field consultant goes on a visit and meets with Mr. Tucker, president of Kelly's Heroes, on July 18, 2014.  I want the consultant to be able to take their tablet, and using Excel, enter all of that into individual cells such as

Contact

Mr. Tucker
Title President
Company name Kelly's Heroes
Date of visit July 18, 2014

Now, in the Word document, I am trying to set up a template where this information can be transferred into a report to be sent out to a given business.  So, I have been trying to copy from Excel and "Paste Hyperlink" into Word.  I have tried to paste link as RTF, unformatted, HTML format,... nothing eliminates a hard return and space around the pasted information.

Let's say I want to incorporate the date into a sentence.  I want to say, "Mr. Tucker, this report covers the visit made to your company, Kelly's Heroes, on July 18, 2014."

What I get is

Mr. Tucker

, this report covers the visit made to your company,

Kelly's Heroes

, on

Friday, July 18, 2014

!!!!! Very frustrating.  Please help.

schemr --

In the Enterprise Global file, create a new custom enterprise Project
outline code called Sales Manager. Make this a required field and list all
of our sales managers in the outline code structure. Save and close the
Enterprise Global and then exit and relaunch Microsoft Project Professional.
Ask each PM to open all of his/her projects and click Project - Project
Information, select the Sales Manager for each project, and then save and
publish each project using Collaborate - Publish - Project Plan. Add the
new Sales Manager field to each Project Center view in PWA. You might also
want to create a custom Project Center view called Sales Manager that has
grouping applied by default on this outline code. You might also want to
create a custom Portfolio Analyzer view that summarizes project data by the
Sales Manager outline code.

After you and the PM's complete the above series of steps, anyone who can
view the Project Center page will be able to apply grouping or sorting on
the Sales Manager outline code. Hope this helps.

I know it happens a lot and can't quite figure out why. If clients like
yours don't want to take advantage of the greatly enhanced business controls
detailed project management that using tools like Project server can
provide, why buy it at all? It seems rather like buying a Ferrari racing
car and never driving it over 25km/hr. Sure one can do it, but why in the

Rompie,
I have probably heard of ISO week numbers but have never used them. I
also do not use Outlook. Because one MS application (or even several of
them) can do a particular thing doesn't mean all MS applications can do
it. A good example is that in Excel individual Worksheet cells can be
formatted. We get many posts in the Project newsgroup asking how that
can be done in Project, particularly in either of the Usage views.
Unfortunately individual field cell formatting is not an option in
Project.

The only formatting available for the timescale in Project is that
available in the selection lists for Units and labels found in the
Timescale edit window. That window can be accessed by either double
clicking on the timescale or by going to Format/Timescale.

Hope this helps.

Rookie question

Posted: 16 Aug 2005 12:04 PM PDT

Project works with Tasks and Resources.
When a resource is working on a task it is called an assignment.
Assignments consist of an amount of work that the resource is going to do on
that specific task.
The work on a task consists of the sum of work in all assignments.
When the resource assignment is removed, then that work is removed.
Work represents the number of resource hours/days/weeks/minutes that is
being expended.
Further Project uses the equation Work = Duration * Units to determine what
work is.
Units refers to the number of resource units.
Altering one of the values in the equation will affect at least one of the
other values.
You can see that an increase in work will require a proportional increase in
duration or Units.

Remaining hours extending project

Posted: 16 Aug 2005 10:56 AM PDT

Think about it for a minute - the duration HAS to change. Joe was assigned
100% to a task that would take 5 days. He worked 3 days and then estimates
that there are still 4 days of work to do, the original 5 day estimate was
off. You really only have 2 choices. He either works 8 hours a day for 4
days to do the required work, extending the curation to a total of 7 days in
the process, or he somehow magically gets the 4 days of remaining work
accomplished in the 2 days of time left in the the original duration,
generating 16 hours of work during each 8 hour workday thus working at 200%
allocation. But that's actually not possible - 100% means the resource is
already working as fast as they can possibly work and the only way you
really can exceeed that is to get someone else to work along with him to
carry part of the load. There really aren't any other physical ways that
scene could play out.

Views with Gantt Chart Wizard.

Posted: 16 Aug 2005 09:23 AM PDT


Hi Dave,

You could create a new private project. Create your views there and then
transfer them via the Organizer to the working projects. Then, if one gets
changed significantly, you can recover it from your private project.

Did you make the dependency from the start of the milestone to the start of
the task or the other way around?
The first should work. The second will give the result you describe.

Microsoft CRM - Risk estimation for CRM load-balancing needed

Microsoft CRM - Risk estimation for CRM load-balancing needed

Risk estimation for CRM load-balancing needed

Posted: 11 Mar 2005 07:24 AM PST

Alfred,

I have received mixed answers on the "supported" issue with load balancing.
However, from what I understand, the "official" answer is it's supported from
the CRM side, but they aren't going to help you configure the farm. The key is
getting high enough up the support chain.

I know that there can be some issues with getting Crystal to work properly in a
farm, though it can be done.

If performance is the concern (vs. reliability), than I think they are better
off in just making sure both the SQL Server & the IIS/CRM server are good
machines. 320 users isn't that big, unless they have a huge amount of data per
user. I think there's a good chance they will be OK with the 2 server install
if the boxes are sized well.

Hi all,

I have a very critical customer, who is aware of the fact that CRM 1.2 is
over its limit in is environment.

Shortly described as:
- 320 users
- a lot of changes with security roles
- CRM Server and SQL Server on one machine.

In the short term, the customer has been convinced that he has two split up
CRM and SQL Server on two separate boxes. In the long term he thinks about
the possibility in having CRM / IIS splitted up by Windows / Network
Loadbalancing.

It's not supported and the customer knows it as well.

But has anyone done this so far and can provide me a technical risk
estimation, what might not run, etc.?
Thank your for your help,

I would try two things first: flush dns and register dns from the command
prompt.
(Start>Run, type cmd, type ipconfig /flsuhdns, press Enter, then type
ipconfig /registerdns, Enter). If this doesn't fix it, try running MS
Anti-Spyware and scanning the machines. I've seen this with a number of
clients who get spyware on their machines and their browsers won't resolve
intranet addresses.

Good luck

adding a schema into CRM

Posted: 10 Mar 2005 05:12 PM PST

Actually, it depends on the fields being added. If you have already added about
10 fields and each was a string of length 50, then you are extremely close to
the limit on the Contact table. Each 50 character string field will take up 100
bytes of the 8k limit as the product ships with close to 7k already used on that
table.

There are limits on the schema fields added. These are, if memory
serves correctly which it probably doesn't, that the total length of
the attributes for fields in a table can not exceed 8192 bytes,
ie SQL only allows 8k to describe the fields for a table.

In practice you are unlikely to reach this limit after adding only 10
fields.

The error reporting in CRM seems to be hidden. The real error messages
are put into the event viewer, the error messages you see when running
deployment manager are generally useless. We have also found the
deployment manager to be unreliable it is prone to fail when creating
schema and to not only fail but to not indicate what items have
failed. If at all possible it is be better to keep any customised
data in tables and databases separate from CRM, then you can access
this directly through SQL, have control of the data and correct it if
necessary.

CRM Professional Edition 1.2

Posted: 10 Mar 2005 02:15 PM PST

Sorry for the confusion. My bad. My original question was about CRM,
because BCM wouldn't work if Outlook was connected to an Exchange mailbox.
Midway, I found an update to BCM that solved the problem.

CRM is a whole different animal, obviously, and seems to require a very
careful installation plan.

This is correct, one of my customer's had this requirement, and tested both
the dedicated sub-domain model and the dedicated Exchange server model.
Neither work.

Although they didn't take this any further, I suspect you need to send all
messages to an SMTP relay (Windows Server has an SMTP relay service as part
of IIS), which can then bounce back any mail for @mymaildomain.com.

Hello Frank

Wonder if you might want to bypass fetchxml entirely and query the
contactbase table directly. While accessing the crm databases directly is
not supported you are able to read the databases directly.

Might help if we could understand what you want to do with the contacts once
you have them

Hi,
thanks for your reply.

I think that this is a bug in SQL-Server. Because the error is returned from
the SQL-Server fulltext search.
For example if i type vi* it works.

I don't know if ther is a way to get this fixed...
But in CRM there is no way I think.

Server unwilling to process your request

Posted: 09 Mar 2005 06:05 AM PST

Hi~

This may be an issue where the user you are trying to move is the manager
for other users within the current business unit. To resolve this error
remove the Microsoft CRM user's alias as Manager from other Microsoft CRM
user(s). I have included the below steps to do this.

1. Open the Microsoft CRM web client, click Home, click Settings.

2. Within Settings click Business Unit Settings, click Users.

3. Within the User's window click the View drop down menu and select All
Users.

4. Holding down the Ctrl key select each user that is listed as having the
user to be moved as their Manager.

5. Click Actions and then select Change Manager.

6. The Change Manager window will appear. Click the magnifying glass icon
and then click the Go button.

7. Select the new Manager that is in the same or parent Business Unit for
these users.

8. Click OK. Click OK again to confirm the changes.

9. Attempt to move the Microsoft CRM user to a new Business Unit.

10. If the user is still not able to be moved, restart the Microsoft CRM
Security Service, located on the Microsoft CRM server. You should be able
to move the user to the new Business Unit.

If you continue to receive the error, please refer to the items listed
below:

A. Try removing this user's role and license, then move them to a new
business unit.

B. Please verify this user is not currently logged into Microsoft CRM when
trying to move them.

C. Another possible cause is that the MSSQLSERVER and SQLSERVERAGENT
services were running under a Domain account. Or CRM Server was not added
to the Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access group.

go offline and problems with contacts

Posted: 08 Mar 2005 11:51 PM PST

If you have CRM admin rights all contacts from CRM will be synced down to
your Outlook folder. The only way to get around this is either select the
option for contacts not to sync to Outlook or put your user account into a
different role where all contacts will not sync. Do not make the security
role change to the default CRM admin role though. Always copy that role and
make the change to the newly copied role.

Customisation CRM 1.2

Posted: 08 Mar 2005 11:25 PM PST

You have 2 options

1. Create a windows service. Use a timer and monitor the database fo
new emails that come into the QueueItemBase table in the cr
database. (check the CreatedOn or ModifiedOn fields for the info).
Cross reference the ObjectId in the QueueItemBase with the ActivityI
in the ActivityBase table.
Generate an email response and send it off.... (I know sounds ver
simple). :wink:

2. Alternatively you can purchase a c360 component that does it fo
you (including converting the email to a case and attaching the emai
to the case) http://c360.com. We are a company with over 100 cr
users, so the small costs for each license unfortunately adds up t
too much for us (cheaper to develop in house....) :(

I hope this helps
