delete contracts

Posted: 25 Apr 2005 08:50 AM PDT

Thanks Andreas for your answer.
I found this on the MS site:

CRMContract.Delete Method
The Delete method deletes a contract.

Syntax

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub Delete(
ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
ByVal ContractId As String
)
[C#]
public void Delete(
CUserAuth Caller,
string ContractId
);
[C++]
public: void Delete(
CUserAuth* Caller,
String* ContractId
);Parameters

Caller

Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller
must have the prvDeleteContract privilege and access rights on the object to
be deleted. See CUserAuth.

ContractId

Specifies the ID of the contract to be deleted.

Return Value

No return value.

Remarks

If there is an error, SOAP throws an exception and the error message is
reported in System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException.Detail .OuterXml.

All IDs passed to the platform are GUIDs wrapped in braces. For example:
{6522D89A-A752-4455-A2B0-51494C6957C3}



I'd like to know if someone already tried implementing this method..is it
working?

Would also like to know, in case it is working fine, does it work for a
contract which is in: Invoiced, Cancelled or Expired?



Thanks

Eric

Customized Contact fields.

Posted: 25 Apr 2005 08:14 AM PDT

If you only have two more fields to add to your contact form, I would
recommend simply "hijacking" some existing fields of the appropriate type
(picklist, datetime, etc.) that you are not using. You can rename them on the
form. I'd be careful about deleting fields (as Peter says, it is unsupported)
and you don't necessarily know what the ramifications will be.

DMF : How to populate the cdf_account_ext table?

Posted: 25 Apr 2005 06:43 AM PDT

You mean the identifier in my source table should map the identifier in my
destination tables (cdf_account and cdf_account_ext) ? So a record from the
source to the destination (cdf tables) should have the same ID ?

Many thanks :)

Thousands Excel customer details, how to import to CRM?

Posted: 22 Apr 2005 08:59 AM PDT

OK, I'm going to use the second option: to use the Data Migration Framework.

1. Use SQL Server Data Transformation Services to extract you data from
Excel into the interim CDF database;

2. Run the data migration tool to load the data into CRM.

I think there are many people in this newsgroup have been done it, :)
Does anyone can show us a tour to how to do it?

Simply, we have 5 .csv files, each contains [Name] [Address] [Accounts].

How can we import them to CRM?
(There are some links in [Accounts], so we can't import it by CRM directly)

Thanks.

Online screen changes not offline

Posted: 22 Apr 2005 07:43 AM PDT

Hi,

I found that when making form changes, after deploying it and
restarting IIS, you have to open up outlook (close it if it was open)
and then click on the root microsoft CRM folder (not on accounts or any
other of the sub folders). You will notice the first time you click on
it, it takes longer to load than usual, and during this time it seems
to synchronise any form changes.

Random Blank Spaces at Bottom of Word Doc

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 01:33 PM PDT

I'm writing a thesis with a lot of footnoting, and annoyingly it frequently happens that two or three lines of blank space will appear at the bottom of the body of the text (not the footnote section) on a given page. Fiddling around with the footnotes (increasing or decreasing their length), or with the body, sometimes helps, but this is not ideal--I shouldn't need to alter what I'm saying artificially in order to use much needed space in the body of the text... Any help is appreciated.

Office Save as > Contacting the server for information

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 11:38 AM PDT

Bad User Experience:

 

When I try to save a document, sometimes it takes a VERY long time to browse to a location.

 

File >> save as >> click the browse folder icon below.

 

 

Often I will get this message box for up to 10 – 15 seconds or longer!

 

I have no idea why it takes so long (whether it be OneDrive or sharepoint or something else) but it is frustrating that it takes so long even if I only want to save to my desktop.

bug report: SynonymInfo causes Out Of Memory error with certain words

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 11:19 AM PDT

Certain words -- "walking" and "onboard" are two -- cause a runtime error when used with Synonym info.

To reproduce, enter this into the Immediate Window of the Word VBA window:

   ?Word.Application.SynonymInfo("walking").Word

You'll get error 5824, Insufficient memory or disk space. Most words work fine, e.g.:

   ?Word.Application.SynonymInfo("walk").Word

No error there.

Doing a quick Google search nets that this bug has been around in Word Interop since at least 2002! Here's an SO post from 2012: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12314157/get-synonyminfo-throws-insufficient-memory-exception-for-some-words 

Watermark/template

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 11:05 AM PDT

My boss just installed word on the only computer that doesn't have internet connection. I've tried to place a picture in the background but it keeps moving around. Is there any way that I can create a watermark and then use it  as a template?

Is it possible to link caption numbering to 'Title'?

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 10:27 AM PDT

I have created a new multilevel list style for my thesis in Word, with 'Title' having the chapter number (e.g. Chapter 1), and 'Heading 1' being 1.1, 'Heading 2' being 1.1.1 etc.

I would like to number my tables and figures as 1.1, 1.2 and so on, but it only gives me the option to link to heading 1, which gives me table numbers such as 1.2.1.

I would like to avoid changing my multilevel list style if possible, so is there a way to link to the 'Title' heading, instead of 'Heading 1'?

Thanks!

Why when I paste a document into word, sometimes blank space appears after a paragraph and I cannot delete the blank space in order to bring the text on the following page back?

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 07:27 AM PDT

Why when I paste a document into word, sometimes blank space appears after a paragraph and I cannot delete the blank space in order to bring the text on the following page back? It just won't let me delete the bland spake between the 2 paragraphs.

Then I will do things like press enter at the beginning of a paragraph to move it down one space, and it will only jump the paragraph an entire page instead of just doing what I am wanting .... which is simply moving it down one space.  It seems to have a mind all its own. So frustrating!

Delete printer list in Word 2013

Hi,

Whenever I try to take a printout in Word 2013, all my earlier printers show up in the drop-down menu (File>Print>Printer). I have already removed all the unused printers in Devices and Printers window but it still shows up in Word and other office applications.

When I try to open/save a document from/to my OneDrive Account, Word 2013 always crashes and restarts

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 10:53 PM PDT

My OneDrive wasn't automatically syncing so I merged my PC's documents and OneDrive folders together as one. (note: this is irreversible). Using Word and OneDrive worked for weeks after doing this. But now all the sudden, whenever i try to open a file from OneDrive or save it to OneDrive, Word always crashes and restarts. I can open my OneDrive documents on other computers without Word 2013 crashing. And I can create new files and save them to non-OneDrive places on my computer.

I've tried OneDrive troubleshooter, checking my add-ons, disconnecting my Microsoft account and etc. But nothing has fixed the problem.

p. s. i also have Windows 8.1

Word 2013 will not open for me.

When I click the word icon, a pop-up comes up saying ''Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?'' and I click yes, but then another pop-up comes up saying ''We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be cleaned as a result. Would you like us to repair now?'' I've clicked repair but couldn't find much help. I've tried to run Word as the administrator but it still won't work.

I purchased Microsoft Office less than a year ago, and this has happened about 3-4 months ago. I'm back to college Monday so really need to sort this out asap.

Can't do envelopes and labels from Word 2000 on my new Epson WF-3620 printer

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 06:07 PM PDT

The printer works fine on all facets of work...except, it will NOT print a Standard Avery label sheet from the rear slot paper feeder.  I can use that rear feeder from notepad, from a regular document, and can print Avery disk labels/case insert labels from that feeder;  but when I set it up under Tools >Envelopes and Labels....regardless of the setting, it just ejects the sheet of labels and prints the info on a plain piece of paper from the cassette.  Epson has spent hours trying to figure it out, but has come to the conclusion that it is something within Word that is causing the problem.  What's wrong?

Tasks end-start relation

Posted: 09 Sep 2005 01:26 AM PDT

If you typed a date for this task (not recommended, you should always use
links where at all possible) then the default start time will be 8:15 which
is 15 minutes after the calendar start time. Therefore Project has to
schedule an extra 15 minutes on the next working day to fit 8 hours in.

Set the default start time to 8:00 or better yet use links!

Actual Work vs. Target/Baseline

Hi,

It MUST change because you want the rest of the plan to be based on reality
don't you?
I do.
IMHO Project primarily has to show me a correct future plan, what has
happened before is interesting but not critical.
For my own plans, I often simply delete complete tasks.

Original plan is saved as beseline, so no need to keep it alive as a base
for a (wrong) plan.
Do you have a finish variance? You should.
Can't judge about work because for that I need more data like task type.
There is a resoruce attached to teh task isn'there?

Steve,
First, resources should be managed on the Resource Sheet - that's what
it is for. My guess is that there is some subtle difference between the
two resources, meaning that they are not duplicate in Project's "eye".

Another possibility. You didn't mention whether the file is linked to a
resource pool. If both the pool and the file have a resource named "joe"
then these resources are indeed separate and can, under some
circumstances, both be assigned to a task.

Second, given the above is not the case and you suspect corruption, go
to the MVP website at:

and look at FAQ 43 - File Bloat? - Might be corruption.

Task duration not netting when resources added.

Posted: 07 Sep 2005 01:05 PM PDT

Hi,

When you add resources to a task that has none attached, the task will react
as fixed duration. So even when you add both resources at once the duration
will not change.
To the contrary, when you allocate one resource, enter, then allocate a
second one and when the effort driven option is on (task information,
advanced) duration will adapt.

OR, when you insert the Work column into your task view, and enter the 16
hrs of work BEFORE allocating resoruces, then even if you allocate both at
once duration adapts.

Hi,

I think we agree on 99% of the issue.
I think however that having the simulation done by the software (especially
on multi-project) gives me time for other things: Project levels 100 times
faster than me by hand.

Chris,
Well, everything sounds pretty generic (i.e. default). My last question
about leveling applies to a feature of Project found under
Tools/Resource Leveling. When leveling is activated, it initiates an
algorithm that allows Project to automatically move tasks around (i.e.
shift, delay, split, etc.) to relieve resource conflicts
(overallocation). The default setting is "manual" (i.e. no leveling) but
you might want to check to see if the setting was changed to
"automatic". In the absence of a pure poltergeist (e.g. corruption),
leveling might be germane to the problem you are seeing.

The fact that the problem seemed to "fix itself" while you were out to
lunch (no pun intended), suggests that file corruption may be present.
In that case, go to the MVP website at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
and take a look at FAQ 43 - File Bloat? - Might be corruption

closed Access and went back to the Project file and there are no changes
there. I also tried (within the Project file) to Open via ODBC, and was
expecting to get the dialogue box I got when opening exel files asking me if
I want to Open as new file, Append or Merge. It simply opens the Access file
as a new Project.

Cannot remove bold text from Heading 2 titles on document content

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 01:35 PM PDT

How can I remove bold text from Heading 2 titles on content of the document. Normally, all Heading 1 titles are bold on every chapter of the document and not on the content, that's fine. I want to do the same for Heading 2 titles, but they're bold on the content and on the chapters too. How to remove bold text from the content?

Prevent MS Word from creating seperate XML files when saving an HTM file

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 12:27 PM PDT

I use Word to create HTM files for use with PowerShell in emailing reports.  I use word to make it look "pretty" and then use custom tags in the HTM file to replace with key variables from the script, then use the HTM file as the "body" of the email.

When I save the HTM file with word, it creates a whole bunch of seperate XML files that are associated with the main HTM file and stores them in a seperate directory at the same level as the HTM file.  For example if my file is called "emailtemplate.htm" it creates a folder called "emailtemplate_files" and puts all those XML files in there.

This has not really been a problem, but now I want my script to be self updating for my users - so if I update the HTM file at the source, the script does some logic testing when it is run and will copy the new HTM file out to the users directory from where they run a copy of the script.  However, my code is only copying the HTM file - it does not know about the linked XML files and they get skipped.

I am wondering if it is possible to embed all the data in those XML files directly into the HTM file so that I have just ONE file I need to update instead of accounting for all the extra files and directory.  Does any one know how to make Word use just ONE file for the HTM content instead of using all the seperate linked XML files?  I am using Office 2010.

Thanks,

NK

Word 2010 Not Printing Correctly

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 12:03 PM PDT

First of all I am using Windows 8.1 and Word 2010

I have 2 different issues.

1)  After getting my mail merge document together and sending to print it won't print more than 10 pages and then says there's an error and won't print.  It also happens on just a regular document that I'm trying to print more than 10 pages.

2)  After merging a mail merge document and try to print a different document using "Custom Range" printing.  It doesn't print ANYTHING and in the queue it shows a document was sent to print, under the "Pages" section in the queue it says "N/A" and doesn't do anything.

What can I do other than saving my documents on a thumb drive and using my old laptop to print???  It shouldn't be doing this.  It's so frustrating trying to get any work done. 

Linking Word to Excel

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 11:56 AM PDT

I know how to link from Excel to Word, but I want to know how to link from Word to Excel, specifically the page numbers of specific pages.  From there I have a program that links Excel values into AutoCAD to create text in the figures I have created.  I do this a lot, several thousand of times in the AutoCAD file from Excel, but I am not sure how to get the page numbers out automatically so that I don't need to manually check and update 5 minutes before the turn in time.  Making things worse is that page numbers are not static in Word and a change at the beginning of a report may change most of the page numbers.  My current project has 60 figures all with page numbers that could easily change.  I need to link the automatic page numbers from the footers.

Chapter Heading style and Section break

Repeat an element of an unlinked header throughout a document?

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 11:40 AM PDT

Can you repeat some elements of a header in all sections of a document even if the headers are not linked to the previous section?  For example:

Header Section One Title

Client Name

Header Section Two Title

Client Name

Header Section Three Title

Client Name

I intentionally unlink the sections so that each heading can be different for a group of pages but the "Client Name" portion remains the same through the document and has to be updated in multiple sections because it is unlinked.  The users of the document are constantly forgetting to update subsequent sections.  Is there an easy way or hack to only make it necessary to update the Client Name once?

Thank you.

Print Merge Help

When I do a redline in word 2010, the footer (such as version6/date shows up in redline on monitor but is deleted in printing (meaning prints out as "version5" with no reflection of the redline. This has happened before and I could never fix. Something embedded?

Enter key not working in Word

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 08:13 AM PDT

I have a user that, at a recent point, her "Enter" key ceased to work in Word ONLY.  I have tried notepad, browsers  and other Office applications; the enter key works fine.  Crazy.  Is there a workaround or a setting I don't know about?

Add Pop Up Box When Word Document Opens to Select Recipient

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 07:57 AM PDT

Hello,

I am updating the Subcontract form my company uses, to automate the process in Microsoft Word 2013 with a Mail Merge.  Our company uses a number of Subcontractors, each with different addresses and Account Codes.  I set up the document, selected the source and added the Merge Fields. 

Is there a way to add a Pop Up Box or Prompt when the document opens, to select which Recipient from the list to use?  I'd like to make this as easy as possible, rather than opening the document, clicking Mailings and then clicking Edit Recipient List.  Please let me know if there is some way to accomplish this.

how to get the very file selected the moment I click Open File Location?

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 06:55 AM PDT

this is a universal prob for Office 2007+ series, but a detailed selection of topic is compulsory.

it's so very annoying when you have numerous files in that very file location, you should waste so much time on looking for the file you've opened among those files.

you shall see the gap when you tried the "EVERYTHING" program, it just goes one step further, but that's enough to make great difference!

I think this is not a question anyway, coz you guys can't even fix this. shall I wait for an Office 16?

Stability of using cross reference vs. hyperlink for huge document

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 05:20 AM PDT

Hi, 

If you need to add several thousands to 10~15 thousands of links to a document, what would you recommend?

For the last project we needed 4~5 thousands of links and we used hyperlink to link to (auto-bookmarked) headings. That worked o.k.

However, this time there are around 10 thousands of links so we searched for some way to ease the process. 

We could do some VBA programming to add cross reference automatically.

(All links are to internal target, and adding hyperlink by comparing names does not seem doable for us.)

The question is, is it stable enough to manage a word document with 10 thousands of cross reference? 

I've heard that the document containing too many fields can be corrupted easily. 

Will it be safer to stick to hyperlink instead?

For your reference, the document size varies from 2MByte to 30MByte.

And we are planning to add them by master document function. (which we did in the last project, producing 40-50MByte bulk when converted to PDF)


Spell and grammar check don't work

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 01:35 AM PDT

I have been using Office 365 for almost one year, but in the last months it keeps giving me problems with the spell and grammar check. First, when I started the check, said everything was good, and it wasn't. So I uninstalled everything and installed again and then it worked, for a couple of days and then started the problem again. Last time this happened it fixed only the spelling problems but the grammar check still doesn't work (without giving any error message). It is getting really annoying since I am writing a big document and it is making me wasting a lot of time. Please fix the problem.

Computer Slow When Running Word2010

Whenever I launch Word on my laptop (Samsung ATIV XE700T1C-A02AU), all inputs made outside of Word become delayed whether this be typing, opening or even bringing up the context menu. While the Word window itself is active, there is no delay.... CPU and Memory usage barely changes.

Endnotes in Newspaper columns

Posted: 01 Sep 2014 07:32 PM PDT

I would like to use newspaper columns (where the text completely fills up the first column on a page before spilling into the second column) and I need to have endnotes at the end of the text.  However, when I insert an endnote, a continuous section break is inserted after the text and before the endnotes, forcing the two columns of text to be balanced in length.  The endnotes are then in their own section.

How can I have the endnotes within the same section as the main text, avoiding the continuous section break that forces balanced columns?

Thanks,

Laura

Looking for a large computer monitor for displaying MS Word pages at 100%

Posted: 01 Sep 2014 06:58 PM PDT

I have a 23" computer monitor with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 which displays a letter sized (8.5" x 11") MS Word page at 79% in the 'One Page' or 'Multiple Pages' view. 

I am looking for 100%, i.e. the size of the display of the MS Word page on the computer monitor should be 8.5" x 11" in the 'One Page' or 'Multiple Pages' view. Any recommendations for such a computer monitor?

(I am only doing office productivity work, I am not doing any graphics work, nor do I do any gaming. In other words, I am looking for a good quality display for doing office work, but there are no further requirements.)

How to consecutively number rows in tables

Posted: 01 Sep 2014 03:03 PM PDT

I create many tables the lines of which must be numbered consecutively. The tables are subject to having lines added in the middle, requiring renumbering of all the lines below. In Excel this is easy - I give the first cell in the first line (A1) the value "1", enter [=A1+1] in A2 and then fill down - I can have a thousand consecutively numbered lines in a second. How can I do this in a table in MS Word 2003 (my OS is Windows 7 Professional). Thank you.

Missing Proofing Tools

Posted: 31 Aug 2014 06:12 PM PDT

Hi, I have installed Office 365 for over a year now, and I have had no problems with Word.  today, I got a message in Word that says:  "MISSING PROOFING TOOLS This document contains text in English (US) which isn't being proofed.  You may be able to get proofing tools for this language".  I clicked on the link to download, but I do not seem to have solved the problem.  I still get the message in Word, and it does not recognize misspelled words.

 I have checked the online forum and tried the solutions offered but to no avail.

I'm confused as to what could have caused this since I am the only user of the laptop, and as recently as Friday I used Word.  Please help.
