Office 2007 Compatibility Pack Installation Problems

Posted: 03 Oct 2007 05:35 AM PDT

Mezzodiva,
Thank you for the link. I attempted this but was unable to use this
resolution. The first method, the machine does not have that particular
template to add. The second method, subkey 12 and so forth do not exist.
With this subkey and this template missing, I'm concerned that even though it
shows up in Add/Remove programs, the compatibility pack is not installing
correctly (or I'm missing something incredibly obvious :)) Any other
suggestions?

Yes all users should have those icons in the start menu.

I am not sure what happened that they are missing.

You can place icons (with windows xp) in this directory and they will show
up for all users.

The other option is to use Outlook's native e-mail capability (the way it
would work if you didn't even have Word installed).

Check in Tools | Optione | Mail Format to see if the two Word checkboxes are
checked under "Message Format". Uncheck them and see if that resolves the
issue.

office 2003 SP3 silent install

Posted: 27 Sep 2007 02:50 PM PDT

Hello TacoBell,

Since you are wanting to use GPO, I am assuming you would use a startup
script.

If you need further help with that in particular, let me know. However it
sounds like you just need the command to use to make the install silent. Here
is how.

1. Download Sp3 locally.

2. Create a folder in the c:\ named Patch. Place
Office2003SP3-KB923618-FullFile-ENU.exe in that folder.

3. goto start, then run. In the run box type "cmd" (without the quotes). hit
enter

4. in the black window that comes up type "cd\" (without the quotes). hit
enter then type "cd patch" (without the quotes). hit enter

5. type "Office2003SP3-KB923618-FullFile-ENU.exe /c /t:c:\patch /q" (without
the quotes). hit enter

6. Now using windows explorer locate the folder c:\patch. You will see some
new files. "MAINSP3.msp" is Office 2003 Sp3.

7. Place MAINSP3.msp into a shared folder that everyone has read access to.
You can then use the following command in a startup script to install Sp3
automatically on system boot.

msiexec /p "\\ENTER_FULL_PATH_HERE\MAINSP3.msp" /qn

It should be noted that in the c:\patch folder you will also have 4 ohotfix
files. You can disregard them. Also you will have "OWC102003SP3.msp" and
"OWC11SP3.msp". Those files are Sp3 for Office xp and 2003 (respectively)
webcomponents. You can also run them from the startup script using the same
syntax if need be.

How do I reinstall Office XP on a different system

Did you purchase this version yourself or was is it a CD from the
older computer that was preinstalled when you bought it?

If it is the preinstalled version, you can't install it on another
system. See this TechTrax article for licensing info:

Working with Multiple Versions of Office
http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=762

(Even though you may not be using multiple version, the above still
provides OEM licensing info as an expanation.)

If you purchased the boxed version, you can install it and if you have
problems with the key, call MS and explain to get a valid key.

Word 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003 all share the same file format. If you
have one of these Word versions, and if the attachment was created with
one of these Word versions, then no converter should be needed. So the
other possibility that comes to mind is that the attachment became
corrupted at some point in the emailing process, and you should ask the
sender to send it to you again.

I am having the same problem and I have been trying to get my E-mail and fax

my buttons options are all grayed out.

Does this mean I am unable to use Windows Mail with Office 2007 Office Home

Just as an adjunct to Julie's response, consider this. When a plan is
created Duration, Work and other fields are entered (or calculated by
Project) as estimated values (regardless of whether the "?" is shown on
the Duration). When a task is completed, the actual values describe what
really happened. Therefore the original estimated values are no longer
valid and Project overwrites them to agree with the actual values.
That's why the baseline fields exist - to capture the original estimates

resource views/printing limits

Hi Mikejw,

As you have discovered, the display of the [Resource Names] field is limited
to 256 characters. Not knowing how you created the list of resources, I can
only offer the suggestion of adding the [Resource Initials] field to the
table as an alternative. You may need to edit the resource initials in the
resource sheet to make them more meaningful (Project by default only picks
up the first letter of the first word you enter).

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

You're welcome for any and all support/assistance I can offer.

In a post to this newsgroup titled "10/05/2005" John Sitka and Steve House
[Project MVP] posted some very insightful comments about MS Project being a
"tool in support of a thought process". MS Project is merely a piece of
software, the skills and knowledge that you bring to the table will never,
in my opinion, be replaced. Yes, Project does "schedule", but only based
upon the information (tasks, resources, priorities) you provide.

Hope this helps.

Weighting resource loading based on project probability?

Posted: 17 Oct 2005 09:59 AM PDT

In article <com>,
andylv <microsoft.com> wrote:
 


Andy,
Ok, so what about my comment in my second paragraph? In other words,
what's the resource allocating algorithm that you want to use? But in my
mind, twenty five percent allocation for 25% probability projects and
100% allocation for "sure thing" projects just doesn't fly.

Thinking about it for a while, the idea of directly tying resource
allocation to project probability seems like a bad idea. But here's
something that might work and it does at least make sense. Clearly the
sure thing project needs to be fully loaded with resources. What I might
do for projects that are iffy is something like the following. If a
project is 75% likely, lay out a plan that has all the critical elements
covered (i.e. basically leave out the detail). Then load that project
with resources to ensure the critical tasks are covered. For the project
that is 50% likely, lay out a plan to cover the startup critical items.
For a one year project maybe that's the first 3 months worth. Then load
that plan. For the 25% project, identify the most critical tasks to get
started, maybe equivalent to the first month's effort. When all the
projects are loaded, sum up the required resources and then multiply by
1.25 (assumes 80% efficiency for all resources).

At least that might be an approach I would take. If you or somebody else
has a better one, let's hear it.

Setup question, hours per week on a task

Posted: 17 Oct 2005 08:42 AM PDT

Duration is the time from when the task starts until it finishes without
regard to whether work is continuous or not. Duration also only counts
working days and non-working time is ignored. If the task extends for 4
work weeks, say the whole month of November in round numbers, that
represents a duration of 20 days. (Each 7 days on the wall calendar gives
you 5 days of duration since the weekend days off don't count.) Assuming
your resources work 40 hours per week, 5 hours per week represents a 5/40 or
1/8 of their total avaiable work time. This is the equivalent of a 12.5%
assignment level. So making the task a 20-day duration task and assigning
each resource at 12% results in 5 hours per week for a total of 20 man-hours
of work per resource with the task beginning Nov 01 and extending about to
Dec 01 (minus a couple of days). That has them each doing 5 hours per week
and its up to them how to work it around their other 35 hours of
activities - it's not our job to micromanage their workday minute by minute.

Determine Outline Level in Project using Visual Basic

In article <com>,
"Walter L. skinner" <microsoft.com> wrote:
 

Walt,
Gerard's suggestion will certainly work if you are using foreground
processing. In your previous post we didn't explicitly discuss
foreground versus background processing, but background processing is
generally always the better approach - faster and more efficient.
Background processing simply means that the code is working directly
with Project objects regardless of which view is active. Foreground
processing operates by selecting objects in the current view. However,
some of Project's objects can only be operated on in foreground
processing (e.g. font characteristics).

A basic (no pun intended) VBA loop to cycle through all tasks in a file
is as follows. I have included the syntax for determining the Outline
Number.

For Each t in ActiveProject.Tasks
If Not t is Nothing Then
OL = t.OutlineNumber

Merging two project files... ??

Posted: 17 Oct 2005 03:11 AM PDT

Hi Jan,

Yes, I agree that they should have been in the one file.
I am enquiring about this on the behalf of a client...

So I hear you confirming what I have suspected (after looking right
through
most of the features in MS Project)... that there is no simple way to go
about this.
That a VBA routine might be the only way to automate it. Hmmm...

The actual tasks also very between files.
For instance... there might be:
[PLANNED FILE]
1. Site X
1.1 Site X - Section 1
1.1.1 TASK Z (Summary Line)
1.1.1.1 Task Z
1.1.1.2 Task Z
1.1.1.3 Task Z
1.1.1.4 Task Z
1.1.2 TASK W
1.1.2.1 Task W
1.1.2.2 Task W
1.2 Site X - Section 2
etc

[ACTUAL FILE]
1. Site X
1.1 Site X - Section 1
1.1.1 TASK Z (SUMMARY)
1.1.1.1 Task Z
1.1.1.2 Task Z
1.1.2 TASK W (Summary line)
1.1.2.1 Task W
1.1.2.2 Task W
1.1.2.3 Task W
1.1.2.4 Task W
1.1.3 TASK T (Summary Line)
1.1.3.1 Task T
1.1.3.2 Task T
1.2 Site X - Section 2
etc

As you can see... at outline level 1 - 3 there is the same structure. But
then at outline level 4 (the actual tasks with start/finish dates etc)
things start to differ. There might even be a task in Actual under say 1.1
that doesn't exist on the PLANNED (Task T for instance in the above
example).

My VBA is not adequate to do something like this so I think I will get
back
to the client and suggest they go about it another way.

Thanks for the help...

How do I apply material cost as a fixed value per week?

Mike,
You have to remember that Project is a scheduling tool not a Project
Manager. Most schedules are volatile, some more than others. Those that
do change a lot will require the Project Manager to spend a fair amount
of time updating and maintaining the plan. Project will do all the
calculating but it is only going to respond to the information it is
given - it can't do your work for you. However, in some cases, special
processing can be used to help automate custom functionality but that
processing requires the use of one of Project's advanced features,
namely, VBA.

It is possible there are other ways to do what you need (other than
using VBA), but we would need more details. I find that quite often a
user will post a question based on HOW they are trying to do something
when a much better approach would be to describe WHAT they are trying to
accomplish, with sufficient details for background. That allows us much
more freedom to suggest the best method.

With regard to setting a rate and letting Project timescale the cost,
that is exactly what my second suggestion does. Did I miss something?

Lastly, if by "Mac Project" you mean Project for the MacIntosh, the last
version of Project released for Mac was several years ago (version 4.x)
and it lacks some of the built-in functionality you are seeking.

Hope this helps.

Project 2003 Viewing Multiple Resource Calendars

Posted: 14 Oct 2005 02:19 PM PDT

Hi,

I wrote a VBA procedure showing absence periods as tasks in a Gantt Chart:
it is on my Website ("Abstract in English")
It is (too) complex as I wanted to cover a maximum of cases, still it may
inspire anybody who wants to write such a macro.
The basic principle is that you look for days where the property
calendar.period(theday).working is true for the project calendar and false
for the resource calendar.

Hoiep this helps,

Hi Steph,

Julie is right, unless you are looking for a way to have seaparate people
updating different parts of the project. If that is tha case then you can do
it by inserting (consolidating) several project files into a master file.

Jonathan,
Thanks for the info. Whenever I run VBA I don't try to do other
operations on the PC. At best, it diverts processor time from the
running code and at worst, can cause a hang, as you experienced. In the
case of the Project Compare utility I'm guessing it hangs because there
are parts of the utility's code that appear to run in foreground
processing, and that requires the focus to be the active view.

Hello,

Not sure if this is what you want, try this:
On MS Pro, go to Tools>Options>Date Format (drop down list), choose a date

Assigning Multiple Tasks to One Dependant Task

Posted: 14 Oct 2005 06:42 AM PDT

Sorry for my unclear explanation,
I wanted to say that you can't do that with a multiple selection and a click
on the "Link Tasks" button.
If a task has several predecessors, you can list them in the "Predecessors"
field (separated by you list separator). If another task has the same list
of predecessors, you can copy/paste that list.
In the reverse order, if a task has several successors, you can enter them
in its "Successors" field. If another task has the same list of successors,
you can copy/paste that list.

That's odd . . . if the next version of CRM is feature locked . . . then why
were we told that the big delay until the end of the year was to give MS
time to implement suggestions from Partners who had seen the pre-release of
the next version? Could it be that we're waiting on a whole bunch of
dependent server products to release?

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply. This is good to know. But what we'd also like to do is
to click on a Competitor and see those contacts that are empoyees of that
competitor. Just like when I click on Accounts I can then click on Contacts
and see only those people who belong to that account.

Please let me know if I'm not giving you enough details.

[Post Callout] OrigObjectXml encoding

Posted: 26 May 2005 06:51 AM PDT

I'm puling the information out of the XML using string manipulation. I
basically use this method (and other methods I developped) :

public static string GetNodeValue(string input, string searchName)
{
if (input == null || searchName == null)
{
return String.Empty;
}

int rootStart = input.IndexOf('<' + searchName + '>');
if (rootStart == -1)
{
// Could be a node with attributes
rootStart = input.IndexOf('<' + searchName + ' ');
if (rootStart == -1)
{
return String.Empty;
}
}
int startIndex = input.IndexOf(">", rootStart) + 1;
int endIndex = input.IndexOf("</" + searchName + '>',
startIndex);
if (endIndex == -1)
{
// Empty node
return String.Empty;
}
string rVal = input.Substring(startIndex, endIndex - startIndex);
// XML also encodes ' to &apos;, which HTML does not.
// Normalize it here.
return rVal.Replace( "&apos;", "'" );
}

It comes from a Microsoft's Article :

Data slugs in hyperlinks in email templates

Posted: 25 May 2005 01:09 PM PDT

Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology.

I know that it is possible to insert data from a case (or any other entity)
into an email template by using the Insert/Update functionality in the
template editor. This works fine in most cases, but when I try to insert a
case number, for example, into a link (e.g.
www.website.com/case.asp?caseno={!incident.caseno;}), the link gets ed
up when I save it.

Have you been able to do this?

Yes, it is.
I tried to stop every SQL service and launch CRM installation. I, obviously,
got an error saying it was unable to connect the SQL Server. I restarted all
services (including MS Search) and got the same error again. So the
installation program is able to ping and connect to the SQL Server.

Does the MS Search service has to have the "Log on as" setting equal to the
other SQL services?

Are trying to use the unpublished slugs method to populate a workflow

published it in this newgroup). Believe me, many have tried. That's one of

Impoting notes / bulk changes od data

Posted: 25 May 2005 02:40 AM PDT

www.c360.com -- they have an add-on called SearchPac. SearchPac's Query
Manager lets you do bulk updates to the standard entities. You create a query
and it returns your results (like Advanced Find, only more complex queries)
and you can click the Actions menu and do a Bulk Update. However, it doesn't
expose the Price lists for queries or updates, which is why I recommended
Scribe. The next version of CRM is supposed to have something similar to
c360's SearchPac built into it, but I don't know if it will have the ability
to update pricelists.

Good luck!

Programmatically put a message on a queue.

Hi Bill,

activity.Route(myAuth,strActivityId,ownerQueueId,M icrosoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.ROUTE_TYPE_CODE.RTC_QU EUE,strQueueId);

Your syntax looks correct for the routing


This is our full implementation (and i can guarantee that this works...


Set up your Guids (User and QueueOwner - or even THe Queue you want)

try
{
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CUserAuth myAuth = RetreiveAuthUser();


// Set up the XML string for the activity
string strXml = "<activity>";
strXml += "<subject>" + taskTitle + "</subject>";
strXml += "<description>" + taskBody + "</description>";
strXml += "<activitytypecode>134</activitytypecode>";
strXml += "<ownerid type=\"" +
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Types.ObjectType.otSystemUs er.ToString() +
"\">";
strXml += ownerId + "</ownerid>";
strXml += "<objectid>" + salesOrderId + "</objectid>";
strXml += "<objecttypecode>1088</objecttypecode>";
strXml += "</activity>";


// Create the activity
string strActivityId = activity.Create(myAuth, strXml, "");
//string strActivityId = "{3DE19BAE-971F-457C-8EC9-F74AC404BF17}";

Debug.WriteLine("\n\n\nActivity Id:" + strActivityId );

activity.Route(myAuth,strActivityId,ownerQueueId,M icrosoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.ROUTE_TYPE_CODE.RTC_QU EUE,strQueueId);

}
catch (System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException err)
{
// Process the platform error here
throw(new Exception("SOAP Exception - RetreiveContract: " +
err.Detail.OuterXml));
}
catch (Exception err)
{
// Process other errors here
throw(new Exception("General Exception - RetreiveContract: " +
err.Message));
}


I hope this helps

This sounds like a space issue on the database. Check the amount of space being
allocated to your database files. If you haven't been backing up your logs,
they may have expanded to take up the free space on your drive.

can you restart your server and try again. I have no idea what is the
minimal disk space that CRM can use before complaining. You might want to
try temporarily reducing your swap file size to increase free disk space.
This will let you determine what space is needed. I would be happier to see
your system with a couple of GB disk space free
