Microsoft CRM - Why Microsoft CRM

Microsoft CRM - Why Microsoft CRM

Why Microsoft CRM

Posted: 08 Mar 2005 08:42 PM PST

Also, to be fair: CRM does have its drawbacks (read this newsgroup or my blog
for a dose) and there is a learning curve to become proficient with CRM. But,
on balance, I like knowing that Microsoft is going to put their weight behind
CRM and make their mark on the crm marketplace...

Adding an Account with CRMAccount

Posted: 08 Mar 2005 02:37 PM PST

Eric,
Thank you for your helpful reply. This did resolve the question for me
although I did find another problem as well: I also had a space after the ">
" in ownerid, the effect being to add a space before the curly bracket. This
generated an item id error (which is why it did not work when I tried
removing the \ previously). Removing the space has it working nicely.
Your help is appreciated.

Hi everyone,

Have a similar question. Am new to workflows and sales processes and just
doing my first ones. In a workflow or sales process I have it send a new
e-mail when a new lead is created or a new opportunity is created to a
manager. How can I have it, in the e-mail, somehow have a hyperlink or some
way to link back to the original one so they can view it?

Thanks!

Initial report load takes a while

Posted: 07 Mar 2005 01:31 PM PST

keep in mind that in general and no matter how fast your hardware, reporting
is always...well lets just say sluggish :-)

while you can use parameters to reduce the data set even these have
limitations. Currently there is a bug that means you can only add 50 items
to a parameter drop down. For instance you might want to have a drop to
which lists all your users, you would then choose a user and report on them.
The issue today is you could only put 50 items in the parameter list.

CRM Contacts - Sales for Outlook Client

Posted: 04 Mar 2005 09:06 PM PST

>From talking to our support vendor, this issue is due to security
settings within CRM. It appears that with Contacts, it will import ALL
the contacts that the user has security rights to see. That section
under Tools/Options is labeled Contacts, where the other two ar titled
MY Appointments and MY Tasks. The workaround that I have come up with
to address is to temporarily modify the user/group security settings,
check and sync, and uncheck prior to resetting security. Will follow up
after implementation on the success of this. Seems like it would work,
but certainly a pain. Anyone have other ideas on this, or reasons why
the workaround might fail?

Distribution groups not working - Microsoft Exchange

Distribution groups not working - Microsoft Exchange

Distribution groups not working

Posted: 12 Feb 2007 01:32 PM PST

It would make sense if the group were null. Many times when I see this
probem it is because the distibution group is not a universal group. The
membership of universal groups is stored in the GC partition. For domain
groups, the membership must be expanded by contacting a domain cotroller
(designated expansion server) and is often problematic. If the expansion
server cannot be contacted or is not designated, a null set is returned.
Try converting the distribution groups to universal groups.

As a side note, try this experiment: Create a distibution group with no
members. Mail enable it and give it the smtapaddress of your choice (may I
suggest com). Turn message tracking on and send a
message to it. Does the output of the tracking logs look familiar? (If you
every really want to send mail to the bitbucket, this is the way to do it)

Although I check the exchange like you said, some users have different

Enforcing standardisation of documents

Posted: 24 Jul 2014 07:55 AM PDT

Hi there,

I'm sure this has been asked and answered before, but I searched around for a while and couldn't find the information I need, so thought I'd ask.

I'm running Microsoft Word 2013.

I've been tasked with creating standardised templates for certain corporate documents, and would like to "foolproof" them.

What I mean by that is, making it as difficult as possible to operate outside of the template I create, for example I wouldn't want somebody moving the company logo in the header around because it makes their title fit more conveniently.

I'm aware that it's likely impossible to actually lock the content completely while still making the document editable in places, but how would I go about making sure it's at least difficult?

For example, a report. I might set up a textbox with a heading, and I'd like that heading to remain as it is, format and all, for all eternity.

Or the company logo being in the top right of the document in the header, immune to accidental selection and dragging when somebody's changing the header, or being squished and downsized.

Is there anything I can do? I'm particularly interested in making the logo in the header immovable, that's priority number 1. If anyone could help I'd be very grateful

Word 2013 cannot print a specific document

Posted: 24 Jul 2014 03:45 AM PDT

I have recently updated a client to Office 365.  They are happily using Office 2013 but we have a problem with one Word document they get emailed every month.

This one page balance statement will not print in Word 2013.    This happens on any PC with Office 365 Word 2013.  The machines are fully updated.

The document has images in the header and footer.  It has text in the footer as well.

If I remove the header and footer in Word, it still will not print.  It occurs on all 3 of the printers I tried (separate drivers).  

Only if I cut and paste each part (body, header, footer) into Publisher can I then print. (not a solution)

Any ideas how to force Word 2013 to print what Word 2010 prints easily? 

Replace string of words using wildcards

Posted: 24 Jul 2014 02:17 AM PDT

I'm looking for a way to use wildcards to replace a string of words in a long document.  The problem is that while the words are bounded by the same symbols, the words are different each time.


I would like to replace sentences like these:


* 1 * Om Sthirayai Nama - Salutations to Him who is perennial
* 2 * Om Sthanave nama - Who is the axis of the world


so that they look like this:


1 - Salutations to Him who is perennial
2 - Who is the axis of the world


There numbers go up to 1008.  I don't mind if the asterix are kept as long as the words between and including Om and nama are deleted.

Is there a way to do this?  I had a look at a few pages on wildcards but could only find a way to delete different letters within a word.

Thanks

MS Word 2013 - How do you move a table / use the selector to move a table

Posted: 24 Jul 2014 02:04 AM PDT

Hi All,

I swear this cannot be as hard as it seems but I have found nothing after searching other forums and posts...

I am using MS Word 2013 and I cannot move a table.  Whether I create the table using MS word or if I cut and paste one from MS Excel (both 2013 versions) I cannot actually move the table.  That is, the left/right/up/down arrow box you see in the 2010 version does not appear.  So at this point I am pretty much stuck with inserting a table on the left margin and cannot move it around.

So...how do I actually move the table, this seems like such a basic feature and I am struggling for what to do.  Thanks,

Japanese Font Problems - Microsoft Word

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 04:29 PM PDT

Okay. So I am a Japanese major so a LOT of my typing happens in Japanese. For regular paper MS Mincho is fine, but I normally like to use SimSun when I am reading it as a personal preference. The only problem is that now that I am using Word, it apparently thinks I'm three years old and can't choose my own font. I changed the default theme, changed the styles, AND tried directly changing the font to SimSun but as soon as I start typing it changes back to MS Mincho EVEN THOUGH THE THEME IS SAYING THE DEFAULT IS SIMSUN. Honestly it's not THAT big of a deal, but it is crazy irritating and the fact that I cannot simply change the font (like in Word 2003 or *cough* LibreOffice) is enough to **** me off. Before I throw my computer out of the window, is there another solution I can try? Thank you.

No, you cannot remove the decimals shown in the Task Usage sheet. I suppose

Posted: 11 Aug 2005 06:46 PM PDT

Thank you so much! That solution worked perfectly except for one problem. I
hope you have a solution.

the problem is that my MPP file is stored on SharePoint. When I try to do a
paste link, I get the message: "You cannot create links from a project file
that exists on a web folder to another file."

I have absolutely no external links to another file, so I'm assuming this
message is a bug since there is no "another file." Furthermore, if I save
the file locally, I can make the "paste links" fine, upload the file back to
SharePoint, and open and make further updates to the file without problems
and the "paste links" are still intact.

Unfortunately, that workaround won't work for me since I'm developing a
procedure to be used by our department and many people won't have a local
place to save the file; they can only make updates on SharePoint.

I'm suspecting that the problem might have something to do with the fact
that Project inserts "%20" in for every space in the filename. I'll try to
verify that, but, regardless, our naming conventions require spaces in the
name.

Thanks

When you make the first resource assignment to a task, Project assumes you
had the % you assign in mind when you made the original duration estimate.
So I'f I have a task that is 20 hours duration and I assign Joe to it 100%,
it stays at 20 hours. But if I assign Joe at 50% it ALSO stays at 20 hours.
If I assign him at 10% or 72% or anything, the same 20 hour duration will
remain as long as it's the FIRST assignment.

How do you add a resource name to a To Do list report?

Posted: 11 Aug 2005 09:28 AM PDT

Hi Mike,

Thanks for responding. I should have been more specific about what I wanted
to do. I agree that I could "hard code" the name in the report header. Bu
that's going to be a real pain for 100 resources. What I'm trying to do is
add a column/field from a table to the report somehow. The header would be
perfect. However, when I look at the drop down on the header screen,
Resource Name is not there. "Resouce Names" is there, but that's no help.

Thanks again,
Doug

work week not equal to date

There is a workaround. Use a custom formula in an unused text field.
I use the following formula:

"w" & Format(DateAdd("d",7-Weekday([Finish]),[Finish]),"ww" & "'yy")
By editing the formula you can add the .day if you like.

Then format your bars to show the new value. Unfortunately the timescale is
not configurable.

Hi jseiler ,

I can't answer your question because I don't know your circumstances or what
you want to do. I don't think there is such a thing as "simple tracking" -
tracking is tracking and that's how it's done. If you want to use EVA, the
help pages are pretty straightforward. I can't offer any advice withou
knowing what you want to do.

There are others out there who have had a lot of experience in tracking and
EVA who might care to comment.

Hum, not exactly. My problem is not about sorting the grid by a column
(thanks for the detail description, though).

I would like to sort the list with the filters itself - the dropdown
list/menu(s) "View:" on Contacts, Opportunities and etc.

Exmaple:
My Contacts
Inactive Contacts
Sales - John Smith
Customers
Sales - Peter Doe
New Contacts this week
....
and etc... till >25

The list above is not sorted by 'name' and not very usefull, right?
It looks like sorted by DB_ID altough I am not very sure about it.

So my question is "is it possible to sort these lists by name?" if not,
there is a suggestion about it.

It is normal practice to use SortOrder (10, 20, 30 etc) field or just to
hardcode the ORDER BY in the SQL query for lists like that (or it is just me
:)

Cheers,

Miro

Google on CRM SDK if you haven't already looked at the SDK. Also try
www.mscrmexperts.com for some good articles.

Just beware that the BOL version will state that the table defination "could"
exceed 8k as long as the columns are defined as VARs. It's the actual data that
cannot exceed 8k. Thus, the program must know this might happen and then handle
the sitiation where the data limit was exceeded. CRM chose to avoid this by
instituing a hard limit at 8K on the definition of the table.

I do not know of any "official" online document with regard to the 8K limit.
But you can look in the SQL Books Online for the information.

I am sorry, I meant to say that i have done that. I have 6 sales reps ,
all have the same problem. It worked great until we upgraded to outlook
2003 (or so it seems)

Outlook Web Access

There is no way to get CRM to show up inside of Outlook Web Access, but you
can publish CRM to the internet behind SSL by assigning it a port and SSL
certificate. There is more on the newsgroup about how to do this. Then your
client can hit CRM from outside the network from any internet connection
(with Windows and IE 5.5 or better).

I am very interested.

I opened up a ticket with Microsoft about a month ago and they basically
told me that it could not be done and to wait for 2.0. I could not get past
the error messages either.

HELP - CRM OUTLOOK

Posted: 04 Mar 2005 07:21 AM PST

when you are in outlook you are the user logged in on the machine.

You need to add the crm URL to the local sites on IE. for instance: http://crm
Then you don't need to login when accessing the system from the browser

Hi Julian,

Thanks for your suggestions. Did not get this untill we had already started
to do batch conversions. So they are running overnight. Will see what the
results are and will look into your recommendations. It is nice to know
there are people out there who have come across issues posted here and are
willing to share their knowledge. It is greatly appreciated:-) Will post
you if we have any success.
