Can you suggest any way to turn off Saving to Excel?

Posted: 12 Apr 2005 06:13 AM PDT

Tell them this......YES you can do this, by removing some hardcode in the
forms, BUT that enters you into the "unsupported customization" arena, where
you're completly on your own. And if you ever upgrade, CRM will likely
break, or worse, if you ever need support and you mention this customization
they will refuse to help you.....

But as Peter mentioned, its a fallacy to think this resolves anything......

CRM and SQL Report Services (SRS)

Posted: 11 Apr 2005 11:40 PM PDT

Hi,

I have managed to do this successfully, but you need to create two web
sites, and distinguish them using host headers and extra DNS entries
(or ports, but host headers and dns entries are so much more
professional). First install CRM on the default web site, and then move
it to a new host header, and create the dns entry. Create a new default
web site and install RS. you can move this to a different host header
as well, but this requires another setting in one of the RS INI files
to be changed, where CRM is pretty happy to be moved around without any
extra settings.

Cheers,

Rex

Missing Product Catalog

Posted: 11 Apr 2005 02:56 PM PDT

I had assigned myself all of the Security Roles.

So, if we have the "Standard" version it is not included?

Also, the Action Pack says it comes with Professional but when I enter my
key it says we have Standard. Do I just need to request a new key?

THanks,

Josh

CRM Self help for dummies, need some general help, yes I'm a noob

Posted: 08 Apr 2005 09:53 AM PDT

You can not change activities forms, such as tasks, in the current version.
Other forms can be changed by going to the Home Page > Settings > System
Customization. Click on the entity you want to change and you will see many
options for customizing forms. After you change a form, you need to go on the
CRM server and open Deployment Manager for CRM. Right click on the top node >
All Tasks > Publish customizations. Then follow the wizard to publish them.
Lastly, you will need to reset IIS for the customizations to show up. You can
do this by going to Start on the CRM server, then click Run... Type cmd and
in the DOS window that opens type iisreset and press enter.

There is much more info on this newsgroup about customizing forms. Good luck.
By the way, if you want the minutes on tasks to show up as hours on your
reports, you can add a formula in Crystal to convert the minutes to hours.

SFO Offline DB View does not match CRM Server

Does anyone know the solution to this. Right now my solution is to run

The view is actually updated for some entity such as Contact, but not
for SystemUser.

I really need to figure this out.

ADUC and SMTP

Posted: 16 Apr 2007 10:52 AM PDT

I read that alright -

What I have noticed is the following -

On out local lan - we have 2 domains controllers - GC and the mail server.

On either on the DC's if we make any Exchange modification to the user
account in ADUC we get this message.

However on the mail server itself we do not have this problem.

Still investigating why...

Restarted services, and all the servers ..

Removed latest hot fixes on the last DC.

Reinstalled the exchange tools + service pack for exchange on the DC too...

Hi Lan,

Thanks for updating.

It is possible that some third party applications are causing this issue.
To isolate the influence of additional applications, please boot the
problematic client into a "Clean Boot" environment to see whether this
problem continues:

1. Click Start, click Run, type "msconfig" (without the quotation marks) in
the Open box, and then click OK.

2. In the Startup tab, click the "Disable All" button.

3. In the Services tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" checkbox,
and then click the "Disable All" button.

4. Click OK and restart your computer.

Please also help me collect Message Tracking log for further research:

To enable Message Tracking:

Open ESM, on the General tab in the server's Properties dialog box, select
the Enable message tracking check box. After the issue is reproduced,
please wait about 15 minutes and then go to the message tracking folder and
collect the message tracking log for us.

By default, the message tracking logs locate under the folder:C:\Program

Hello you all,

this is my configuration:

I have 2 sites. Both sites were running on a 2000 platform (win2000 with exchange2000)
In one of the sites I have installed two new servers, which are running as DC. A third server is functioning as mailserver (Exchange2003).
The original DC (Win2000 with Exchange 2000) has been running until yesterday.
The second site has been left untouched (completely running on Win2000 platform).

Since yesterday, I turned off the 'old' server (2000 DC and Exchange 2000). Everything seemed to be working fine, untill I tried to create a new user this morning.
The creation of the user works perfectly, but when this same user tries to connect to his mailbox (through outlook 2003), the following error message
displays:
'The name could not be resolved. The name could not be matched to a name in the address list'.

When I relaunche the 'old' server --> DC and Exch2000), the user can connect to his mailbox without any problems.

Anyone any idea what can be the cause of this? The old server has to be turned off because he frequently has hardware errors (end of lifetime....)

Any advise is welcome.

Regards,

Q

SPAM Capability Comparisons

Richard,

I haven't met too many IT folk that would recommend a single point of
attack solution. We use a 3rd party device for spam and virus as well
as server/workstation based virus protection and IMF. This week, our
3rd party rejected over 35,000 messages (and we are a small school!) and
the IMF tried to take care of the ones that slipped through. I still
get some spam every day.

If we could manage it in the budget, I'd consider adding another 3rd
party device to try to reject more spam than I currently do.

I am trying to change the font of text I have copied and pasted from another word document. My default normal is currently set (this is set to a different font then I am trying to use) 

I have selected all text and tried the drop down, I have tried going straight into the font window to change it here. and no matter what I select it just does not change the font its like it is locked to its current font. 

This is not a installed font from another source it is Miriam font in size 10 current font is simsum I believe its called.

I have also gone into the advanced tab and everything is as it should be in that portion of the font window as well.


This is not the first time this is happened, so I am interested to know the solution to stop it from occuring

Prevent pages from printing?

Posted: 25 Aug 2014 08:22 AM PDT

Hello,

I have a document that is ~200 pages.  Pages 1-50 are the Body, and the remaining 51-200 are an appendix.  Is there a way that, if the user goes to File--> Print (or any other method of printing), to not include pages 51-200?

There could be a few ways - maybe have a message box notifying the user that there are 150 pages of Appendices, and to select only 1-50 for the main document.  Or, have the default print settings have print 1-50 only....etc.

Basically, I just want to prevent the user from going to File->Print (or CTRL+P, or some other way) and then print 200 pages when they really just want the 1-50 pages.  I have read about maybe using "hidden text" but I would like the user to be able to see the text when reading the digital document - I just want to prevent them from printing all of the document accidentally.

Even if I broke it into sections, that could still print the whole thing.  I am familiar with Macros/VBA (via Excel) if that helps.  Thanks for any ideas!

Posted: 24 Aug 2014 04:54 PM PDT

The cursor is automatically in the file name box when you ask to open a file. I need to find a way to get to the left hand pane, I guess the directory tree (not sure what it's called) using the keyboard, then get to the files listed in the right hand pane once I have picked the correct folder. In Word 2003, my fingers never left the keyboard to open a file, and I am trying to find a way to do that in Word 2013. Half the time I cannot even tell where the cursor is in the dialog box. This is driving me crazy. I spend enough time clicking with the mouse as it is.

Question on the Thesaurus feature in Word (Office 2010 Starter Edition)

Posted: 24 Aug 2014 03:40 PM PDT

This really is an odd question pertaining to Microsoft Word. I often use Thesaurus. When I use Thesaurus (Shift + F7 key) the Thesaurus opens. However, when I then click on "All Reference Books" on the second window of the drop down menu, I get a Windows Security pop-up that says to enter my credentials. I have made no changes to my computer or downloaded anything new.

What is this all about and how do I get rid of it so that I can access "all reference books" again? 

It only asks me for this in the above specific situation. I have made no changes to my computer in years, and the above issue was not the result of a new program or anything like that. So I cannot figure it out at all.

I use this feature a lot in connection with my work, so I do need it....it is not a minor issue for me although it may appear that way.

Thank you.

Inputting answer on preexisting line

Posted: 24 Aug 2014 03:40 PM PDT

I have a downloaded Word document that came with questions and a line to place your answer in. 95% of the document works perfect, it asks a question and I can place my answer on the line with no problem. However, several lines are giving me an issue and I can't figure out the reason why. Example: What is your favorite color?   ___Blue____, on 95% of the lines "Blue" would rest on top of the line instead of separate the line. I'll click on a line that I know works right and compare it to the settings box of a line that isn't working and haven't found anything different. However, I may not be looking in all the available settings! Also, simply highlighting the "____Blue____" and underlining it may put a line under the word but it's noticeably different from the rest of the document and looks trashy.

You saw a combination of my original question and Jay's reply. I intended to include my (grateful) answer to him, but somehow my answer did not get included. I still don't know why it got deleted. I know better than to just repeat an earlier post.

Also, thank you for your excellent answers to my past questions.

Is the Microsoft Office Starter 2010 update genuine?

Posted: 24 Aug 2014 01:58 AM PDT

Since I started using WORDS and EXCEL using the program MICROSOFT office starter 2010, I keep on getting a pop-out saying :

""""

Click to run

An update for Microsoft Office Starter 2010 - English is now available on line. Please remain connected to the internet for the duration of the the update.

Do you wish to start downloading the update now?

                                                                                             OK            Cancel

""""

This doesn't look like a Microsoft notification. I did not click on OK or CANCEL. I just click on the X at the top right of the window to remove it.

Please inform if this is e genuine Microsoft notice. Many thanks.

I've run a fairly current Debian ("Sarge" I think, I don't have the machine

64MB RAM) but Debian does run with KDE ... albeit slowly.

I had to create a swap partition before it would even install, though.

Ubuntu and Windows dual-boot

First of all, look here, it has enough info on how to fix your problem:
If not, google boot.ini commands.

http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOWTO.html

Generically, have the boot.ini point to the second partition so
Windows will boot.

Second and I am trying to be kind, your partitions are "goofy"
for a dual boot Windows/Linux machine. Since I don't know
the history of this computer, I will go through what I would
do if I were in front of it.

1. back up all relevant data for reinstalling later.
2. use a diag program on the hd to make sure is it good
3. wipe the drive
4. install Windows and have it create the first partition where it
will reside and don't have it take up the whole drive, leave
enough space to install Linux. If you need to share files between
Linux and Windows, create a second partition and format it
FAT32, it does have a file size limit of 4G.
5. Install other Windows programs as needed.
6. Once Windows is installed, install Linux with the appropriate
partitions. Use the Windows loader and don't install GRUP in
the MBR, install it in the /boot partition. With newer versions
of Linux this setup part should be a no brainer.
7. Re-install the data and away you go.

The above assumes that your motherboard/IDE controller is LBA-48
compatible. If it is not, then the install configuration is a bit trickier.
Windows is brain dead when it comes to other os's. It likes to be
installed in the first partition although it can be installed on others. So
the easiest install process is to do Windows first and Linux second.
Windows also likes to assume that it is the only os on the computer.
Virtualization will change that.

If you don't want to go through the above, you can edit the boot.ini
file and change where it points to for the Windows partition but to
learn the format of that line try google. If that doesn't work, repost.

I've never see any difference between master and slave speed, nor between

middle getting more.

linux and usb audio (OT??)

Posted: 17 Nov 2006 01:06 AM PST

In comp.os.linux.setup Mike Scott <stopper.scottsonline.org.uk>: 

I'd suggest to take a look at Fedora Core, the community version
of RH (http://fedora.redhat.com/). AFAIK FC 6 is recent, I have
one box here running FC since FC2 to FC5 now. Any hardware,
anything USB (including audio) plugged into the machine just
works with no user interaction required. Did install FC5 on some
recent laptop (FSC iirc) lately, any hardware including wireless
lan was picked up on install and setup automatically.

Just be sure to run 'yum update' after installing and run it from
time to time, there is a cron job that can automate this for you,
if 24/7 online.

A few tricks to get the most out of FC6 with the least effort,
especially to get around some problems with audio (mp3) not
working out of the box, due to license problems:

Good luck

will playstation3 run linux?

Posted: 16 Nov 2006 05:23 PM PST

Looks like a smart move from linux ...might be a big break through.
To bad I am a hardcore lightwave fan no experience with blender... But
running it on a cell cpu would make it lightning fast. Any ideas if someone
succeeded running lightwave on linux ? Sorry but i am going to post this
question in other linux channels also (dont want to spam but someone maybe
knows about lighwave and linux :P

Thanks for already some answer.

Is this a BIOS problem, a kernel problem or a user problem :-)

com did eloquently scribble: 
 
 

How old is this laptop?
Because redhat 9???? That's been obsolete for over 3 years now.
Try installing windows 95 on a modern machine. I think you catch my drift.

You need a more up to date distro. Try Fedora 6 (fedora 1 was the first fork
off redhat 9, so it goes to show how far you are behind)
 
 

My advice... Don't.
Is there any reason you WANT to install a dead distribution that's been out
of date for 3 years?
