Using Find and Replace Posted: 02 Jan 2015 03:06 PM PST I am an architect, and I have a standard set of notes I use when building houses. Sometimes I use these notes for a new house, sometimes, I use them for an addition onto an existing house. While most of the notes apply to both new construction and additions, there are some notes that refer only to new construction and some refer only to additions. Right now, I have to manually edit the text to remove the notes that don't apply. I am hoping to use find and replace to make my task easier. For example, here is a note that I use right now: "Provide waterproofing on [new] foundation walls [only]." For new construction, I would delete the "[new]" to make the sentence read "Provide waterproofing on foundation walls." For additions, I would keep use the word "new" and "only" and just delete the brackets so the sentence would read "Provide waterproofing on new foundation walls only." I thought I might be able to tag each bracketed comment so I could search and remove the brackets on the type of project I am writing for. For example, if I wrote my basic note as "Provide waterproofing on [ADDnew] foundation walls [ADDonly]", and wanted to edit it for an addition, I would search for "[ADD*]" and replace it with the word or words represented by the asterisk. If it was for new construction, I would just delete all the notes relating to additions. That would save me time editing the whole document for each of these little items (of which there are a lot). I've read through the find and replace section, and can't find anything that would address this, but maybe someone knows a good way to be able to do this. I'm using the brackets, but it may be necessary to replace them with something else. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

Text justification in tables in Word 2013 Posted: 02 Jan 2015 03:01 PM PST Practically all of our company's Word documents have a header with vertical text (bottom to top) that is horizontally and vertically centered in one of the cells.  In compatibility mode, the text appears as it has in all previous versions.  When the document is converted, the text disappears unless one of the left justification options is chosen.  All of the 9 justification options work correctly for the other two (left to right and top to bottom) text directions.  For bottom to top text direction, the 9 justification options work correctly in new documents created in Word 2013. Is there a setting or option that can be changed once the document is converted to correct this? Also, on the same cells, when the text is selected, it is not displayed as highlighted, so it is difficult to tell when the desired text has been selected. I have checked--my version is up to date.

Lost all local Word documents on 365 for iPad - help! Posted: 02 Jan 2015 02:37 PM PST I have just gone into Word for iPad on my 365 subscription. I was asked to sign in, which I though was odd. I have not done anything odd to my iPad, like restoring. I signed in and all of my documents, saved locally, have disappeared. I tended to save docs locally to the iPad rather than to the cloud drive.  Where have all my docs gone? The last time I used Word on iPad was a couple of weeks ago and all my docs were there. Thanks Scott PS I tried to post to the Microsoft tech support but gave up because the serial number finding options did not cover the iPad version. Makes we wonder if Microsoft is really interested in the iPad products.

Problem with Microsoft Word 2013 ABC Check Language Posted: 02 Jan 2015 12:25 PM PST While typing my document, everything will be normal. (Just as a note, I'm using the names of a lot of languages in my document). For words like "English', "German", etc., they'll all be OK. But for the ones like "Malay", "Indonesian", and "Dravidian", they are highlighted as incorrect. When I use ABC Check, it says they're being check in Spanish (Spain). How can I fix this? I continuously change it back to English (United States), but the next time I go over it, it is in Spanish again. Thank you for help!

Header Change Size Posted: 02 Jan 2015 11:26 AM PST Using Headers - different first page - can the header size be changed on the second and subsequent pages?

How do I turn off compatibility mode permanently in Word 2013? Posted: 02 Jan 2015 09:47 AM PST I want to do everything in 2013 and don't want the hassle of dealing w/compatibility mode.  Anything done in 2010 on another machine I just want auto converted to 2013.

Font size and cursor extra large & cannot be changed Posted: 02 Jan 2015 08:58 AM PST Re Word in the Office 2007 for Students and Teachers: Last two weeks the font size and cursor size stuck on super large.  I have not magnetized the display settings, but they are set on large. I have changed the cursor size to medium and then small, restarted as required,  but that has no effect. I have tried changing the font size in Word but no change can be made. I have had windows 7 64 bit on this HP laptop for three years with no problem except hat Flash player will only install the 32 bit version. I ran the Word diagnostics several times.  No problems found except the set up diagnostic could not complete.  Details claimed the original source could not be found, original source was listed as the CD. I inserted the CD but it had no effect.  I uninstalled Office 2007 for Students and Teachers and re-installed it.  Problem still exists. I do not know what else to do.

Microsoft Office Word Error Posted: 02 Jan 2015 08:29 AM PST I recently downloaded new email program called Incredimail. The program works well except when I attach a word document and try to open it, it always comes back with  "word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result".  When I try to open it in Word, it says the "directory path is not valid". Does anyone know how to correct this problem.

Help- cannot open word documents: 'the directory name is not valid'.... Posted: 02 Jan 2015 03:11 AM PST Please help, there are several documents on my laptop that I cannot seem to open, this message keeps appearing: The directory name is not valid. (C:\... __name of file____ ...) What does this mean and is it fixable? Thanks!

Cannot associate .docx/.xlsx with Office 2013 programs Posted: 01 Jan 2015 06:52 PM PST Hi I have Windows 8.1 OS, and Office 2007 and Office 2013 as well. Until yesterday I was able to open a docx file using MS Word 13, but today when I click the same file it is not opening with Word 13 and instead Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 opens up and starts a 'Configuration Process' and finally opens the file in Word 2007. When I clicked on the Word 2013 icon, I am able to open it and I can also open the same file using word 2013 but I have to go to "Open" and then select the file in the already opened Word 2013. Else if I double click the docx file it does not open in 2013 but in 2007. I tried right clicking and 'open with' option, but when I do it the default option says "Word (Desktop)", and if I click more options and go to the "C>Prog Files>Microsoft Office 15>root>office15"  to open in Word 2013 and select "winword.exe", it still opens in 2007 and not 2013. But when I click the same icon "winword.exe" directly, word 2013 opens up and not 2007. I also check "File association" and "default progs", but everywhere it says "Word (Desktop)", even after changing the association to Word 2013 icon in office15, I still cannot open the file in word 2013 by directly clicking on it. Thank same goes for excel as well. May be other progs as well; haven't check for others. Need assistance, please suggest a solution. Thank You

corrupt template or encrypted somehow Word 2003 Posted: 01 Jan 2015 06:25 PM PST Hi I have a problem with some word2003 files that has me puzzled. Have tried to fix the master template by the assistance found on this site without any luck. Also have tried outside recovery programs that have all said the files were encrypted.Most outside programs were filled with other things so after a few tries it was time to stop.  Have also tried the help sections in word 2007 and 2013. My hope is to find a way to fix them and also if possible understand more of how it happened to prevent it from happening again. The files came from a family members computer without a backup copy. Will attach a shot of what it looks like trying to open a file.Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Word 2013: Save to desktop directly without clicking on 'browse' Posted: 01 Jan 2015 05:32 PM PST Anytime I hit 'ctrl-s' it brings me to the 'save as' screen. I then have to click 'browse' and pick a save location. As I am not interested in skydrive at the moment, this means every time I save something I am forced to do the extra click (by clicking the browse). I know this is such a minor issue, but its such a senseless waste of time (always doing the extra click) it has been bugging me more and more recently. How can I setup Word 2013 to bypass this screen?

My Microsoft Word 2007 has stopped working Posted: 01 Jan 2015 05:23 PM PST I have been using it quite happily for years. Since yesterday, whenever I tried to open a Word document, I get a message from Windows Installer saying 'preparing to install'.  I have tried restarting the computer, and also uninstalling the latest installed updates. Please help. Word is vital for my work. Best wishes.

MS Project .mpp file viewer Posted: 10 Jan 2006 03:32 AM PST Hugh, Have you considered the "Save as Web Page" option - this will allow you to provide people with an interest with a "Static" image of your project plan as of a specific date and also has the benefit of being tamper proof and you only disclosing the information you want people to have whereas access to an mpp file allows both access all areas and can be changed "inadvertently". There is an article on save as HTML in the downloads section of my website.

How do I assign work for 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM in Project? Posted: 09 Jan 2006 06:36 PM PST Hi LostProject Manager, The calendar times need to be entered so they don't span over 12:00 am (midnight.) For example, if the night crews start work on Sunday night at 6:00 pm and finishes the shift at 6:00 am on Monday: Choose Tools > Change Working Time to open the Change Working Time dialog box. Select all Sundays by clicking on the column heading for Sunday. Enter 6:00 pm in the From: box. Enter 12:00 am in the To box. Then select all Mondays by clicking the "M" column heading. Enter 12:00 am in the From box and 6:00 AM in to To box (first row.) In the next row down enter 6:00 pm in the next From box and 12:00 am in the To box. You may want to take a look at the "Night Shift" base calendar in the Change Working Time dialog box for some guidance. Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Project Profitability Posted: 09 Jan 2006 02:33 PM PST Thanks, Rod, this is great. Optimal would be to have Project track changing Internal Cost against a constant External Cost saved in a baseline, because then I could pinpoint to management just what the delays were and how much they cost us (and also how much innovations saved). But for the scale I need it this is perfect because I can do it by hand. "Rod Gill" wrote:

Can I "hide" tasks? Posted: 09 Jan 2006 02:20 PM PST Hi Sally, This approach is exactly like hiding tasks, so what do you mean by "presented with cutting or deleting tasks"? I have never seen MS Project's filter function present a user with a requirement to cut/delete tasks. If you can be more specific with the scenario, I can probably give you some other ideas. -Bill -- William Raymond BLOG: http://www.mympa.org/blog.aspx "Sally" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com...

Questions about Project Server Posted: 09 Jan 2006 01:59 PM PST It is technically possible to put MS Project on a server and interact with it via Active Server pages. It is kind of difficult, though, but we could set it up for you through our company, Teledyne Solutions, Inc. Contact my boss, Mike Legg, at com if you are interested. Using this technique gives you complete control over your scheduling application rather than having to change the people to fit the software.

Group by Custom Field Order Posted: 09 Jan 2006 12:58 PM PST I understand you can group by a custom field and specify ascending/descending order. What I'm looking for is can you define an order other than ascending/descending. For example, I have a custom field named Site. I would like to group tasks in the following order: Philadelphia Cincinnati Atlanta Los Angeles Denver This is the same order that I have the pull down menu in and I'm curious to know if you can specify the pull down menu order or any other (besides ascending/descending).

Adding vertical, task or time driven lines on a Gantt Posted: 09 Jan 2006 06:59 AM PST Thank you for replying, This solution begins to address the solution for me but I am not sure how to force the line to give me a vertical line rather than a line that tracks task data. Is there a way to make this line ignore tasks? What information causes the status line to divert to some tasks and not others? all my actual work done = 0 Thanks, Sally. "Prj_Mngr" wrote:

Group By Subtotals Posted: 09 Jan 2006 06:06 AM PST In article <com>, "harropj" <com> wrote:   Jim, OK, but that's not what you showed in your example. The example shows group totals for the tasks, not the assignments. Nonetheless, Project 2000 does not total the timescaled data when grouping (it only totals the static data - left side of screen). On the other hand, Project 2003 does total timescaled values when grouping, (I don't know about Project 2002). Apparently that was a new feature added in the latest version of Project. Project 2003 also added the option to either total the task or assignment timescaled values when grouping. There are a couple of choices. You can upgrade to Project 2003, or you can export the timescaled data to Excel using the "yze timescaled data in Excel" add-in for Project 2000. Hope this helps. John Project MVP

Hypothetically - a task is 33% complete with a complete through date od 12/30/05, but on 1/10/06 the status date, it should have been 41% complete.

Recording Completion when actual work is <> budgeted Posted: 06 Jan 2006 03:53 PM PST Project Management is primarily about Scope, Cost and Time. It is more about the Tasks and the Durations first, and the Work (Hours) and Cost follow from that. Some estimating methods are "quantities based" rather than "Task based". For example steel structures are often estimated as Hours/tonne, like yours. This produces a budget for Hours and Costs but does not define the Tasks and their Durations or any of the scheduling data. You have still left out some essential information, the estimated Duration. I can assume (can I?) 80 Hours means 100% of 1 person, 8 hours per day, 10 days. A. Status Date = end of Day 5 Planned/estimated/budget/baseline production rate = 8 pages per day BCWP = 32 pages x $20/page = $640 BCWS = 40 pages x $20/page = $800 ACWP = $800 (you say 50% of Total) CPI = BCWP/ACWP = 640/800 = 0.8, indicates that what is being achieved is costing more than the estimate. SPI = BCWP/BCWS = 640/800 = 0.8, you are behind schedule, ie not having earned what was planned/estimated/hoped for, for up to the Status Date. EAC = ACWP + (BAC - BCWP)/CPI BAC = 80 pages total x $20 per page = $1600 EAC = 800 + (1600 - 640)/(0.8) = $2000 At $40/page Price, your total price would be $3200 and the profit $1600, except that EAC says that if you carry on like this it will only be $1200. Your estimated Cost/unit for pages was estimated to be $20 but turned out to be 800/32 = $25. Every page you do shaves $5 off your profit which was estimated at $20/page (Marginal Pain Ratio = 25% (I made that up)). The estimated production rate was 8 pages per day but in 5 days we achieved 32 pages or 6.4 pages per day. You now have still to do what was planned (ie Tasks) to be done up to the Status Date but wasn't, plus all Task which was planned to be done from the Status Date to completion, by the same old planned completion date unless you can extend the finish date. If you are stuck with the same deadline, then achieving it this will be a challenge if the evidence so far is that the project runs behind schedule already. Basically, you have 48 pages to go and if only 5 days to do them in then you have to immediately get the production rate up to an average 9.6 pages per day. If the production rate can be held to the observed 6.4 pages per day then you need 48/6.4 = 7.5 days, or 2.5 more. Measure the up to date performance and then re-plan the remaining Duration, Work, Cost, which amounts to revising your earlier estimates (they were wrong, performance is what it is, a fact, neither efficient or inefficient). The great thing about a half time review is that you get to have another go at the plan for what remains. Having extracted the necessary data from the past, ignore the past and move on. When this project started the CPI and SPI were both 1, but have declined by 0.2 in 5 days. Even holding the CPI and SPI at an unhappy 0.8 for the next 5 days will require something special to be done. In another 5 days they might follow this "trend" (not really enough data to call this a trend) and be at 0.6 both. I'll leave the other examples for you. See below. "J Augenstein" <net> wrote in message news:com...    Sorry, no. Your phrase "40% of the actual work is complete." is incorrect twice. 40% of the Task (ie 40% of the pages) is complete. Work is Hours. The EV acronyms are imperfect in this way too. They should be BCTS, BCTS, ACTP (substitute "Task" for "Work"). Also, you say "of the actual" work. It isn't "actual". The 40% is 40% of the total estimated number of pages. The total "Cost Budget" is $1600 so 50% consumed = $800, yes?   CPI = 1 SPI = 1 OK   CPI = 960/800 = 1.2 SPI = 960/800 = 1.2 ie you are getting more done than you estimated and you are paying less for it than estimated, very OK.   Define "OK". Cost is the same, but when I compare that to actual output,

How can I eliminate unneeded boxes I have created at the bottom of a report on Word 2010? Posted: 01 Jan 2015 12:11 PM PST I am doing a report. I made 65 horizontal rows and 3 vertical columns. I only used 50  horizontal rows (150 spaces total).  I would like to eliminate the final 15 rows, 10 of which, are at the bottom of the finished report on page 4 and 5 of which, went on to a (now not needed) next page, numbered 5. What do I do? I have read other community reports and watched You Tube. Nothing works so far. Help please! Thank you!

Cannot print current page Posted: 01 Jan 2015 07:33 AM PST Split from this thread. Hi Microsoft, this problem is still happening; I see it's been an issue since at least August 2013. I've just installed MSWord 2013 in order to preview it before rolling it out to my team. When I try to "Print Current" page I get only the first page of my document. This will NOT be acceptable to my team members, nor will it be convenient to have to do things to each machine in my department every few weeks in order to get a basic function to work! Please tell me you are working on a fix for this? And when will it be available? RSVP and thanks

Try to show only tasks that contain the text 'Export' Posted: 06 Jan 2006 05:58 AM PST Hi Greg, You are very welcome for the assistance and thanks for the feedback. To show tasks with either a Task Name containing "Export" OR Tasks assigned to Tom: Try: First Row: Name equals *export* Second Row: OR Resource Names equals *Tom* To show only tasks containing Export AND assigned to Tom: First Row: Name equals *export* Second Row: AND Resource Names equals *Tom* If there are no tasks containing the word export that are assigned to Tom, the filter will return no records. Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along. Julie "Greggy" <com> wrote in message news:googlegroups.com...

Customising Timescale labels Posted: 06 Jan 2006 05:45 AM PST Hi Tommo, No, I know of no way to change the labelling. However, If you select one of the day or nigh calendar to show in nonworking time as I suggested, the Gantt will be shaded to show that shift's nonworking time. That's the best I can offer.

MS Project Linked to MS Access Database Posted: 06 Jan 2006 05:43 AM PST Julie: Found it. So let me see if I understand what I read â€" the "Project database" to which the page refers â€" this can be an Access database, correct? It seems from what I read on PJDB.HTM that if I make changes to the Project files they'll automatically update the Project database. Can this be done with an existing Access database? In other words, do I have to create an entirely new Project database, or can I add updatable MS Project data to an existing Access database? Hope that made sense... LotB "JulieS" wrote:

Do I need Project server? Posted: 05 Jan 2006 05:15 PM PST Rod, thank you for the response. I'll do some searching on the web to look for addons. Can I sent up Project to use Outlook's calendar function to reserve resource time in a resource's calendar and then have Project send a meeting notice update if the project engineer moves the timing for task?

Global Resource Posted: 05 Jan 2006 12:51 PM PST There are several ways to do what your looking for but for a short and quick way is to create a new Master Project. Do not put any tasks in this project just link in all the projects that you want to compare resources on. Then without any recalculations look at the resource views. It should show your the allocation for a resource across all the projects within the Master. Some people will disagree with this method but it is short an easy. -- Jim Reid, PMP "orflyg1rl" wrote:

Changing availability -> automatic recalculation of task duration Posted: 05 Jan 2006 10:50 AM PST It recalculates the remaining work and leaves the actuals alone. Project recalculates PLANS, it does not re-write history.

Information about Projects themselves - not the detail. Posted: 05 Jan 2006 04:40 AM PST duzby -- Since you are already using Project Server, why don't you create a couple of custom enterprise Project fields to show the priority and commentary for each project, and then create a custom Project Center view in PWA containing those two custom fields? You could even use graphical indicators in the priority field. Just a thought. Hope this helps. -- Dale A.

attachments in notes Posted: 18 Aug 2005 10:59 AM PDT Matt, Thank you. I am starting to fumble my way through this. I found where to change the form. I added a tab, and sections and fields. I first went into the schema mgr and went into accounts and added 3 new "schemas" - all were strings. I saved the new form and all looks like it should be ok, however, when I go into accounts, the old form still shows up. Do I need to restart services? I am overlooking something simple. I did not know what to do about mapping... do I need to do any mapping? "MattNC" wrote:

Customizing Lead Form Posted: 18 Aug 2005 08:51 AM PDT I did an IISReset and it now displays the field. Thank you so much Brandon. As a side question why would this require an IISReset?

Is this an appropriate "help desk" solution? Posted: 18 Aug 2005 03:31 AM PDT I would agree with Matt, *providing* you are supporting external customers. MSCRM 1.2 has limitations when providing support internally within the same enterprise, due to the way the CRM Email router works. These limitations will disappear, I believe, in the next release when the Email Router will be abandoned Peter "MattNC" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com...

Error during installation Posted: 18 Aug 2005 01:49 AM PDT the problem was that there was a language conflict the operation system was in german and the crm in english

Company numbers generated automatic from MS CRM Posted: 18 Aug 2005 12:39 AM PDT I'm afraid I don't exclusively own the intellectual property rights to the code I've written before, so can't publish it anywhere. To get you started on post-callouts, have a look at the following MSDN article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/crmsdk1_2/htm/v1d2postcallouts.asp As to writing the code to generate numbers, I'd suggest the following: - Create a SQL table to track and generate numbers; the easiest option is use a Identity column as this will prevent duplicate numbers being assigned - Use the CRMAccount.Update method to save the number. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/CrmSdk1_2/htm/v1d2crmaccountupdatemethod.asp - Be careful if using PostUpdate, as a call within this to CRMAccount.Update will cause another call to PostUpdate, so you will need to ensure you don't create an infinite loop Hope this helps "Alwin" wrote:

what are the crmForm Properties and Methods Posted: 17 Aug 2005 04:55 PM PDT The file you want in the source code is _forms\styles\FORM.crm.htc btw If you can wait, it looks like the Form Object Model will be an official part of the SDK in CRM 3 "John O'Donnell" wrote:

Dupicate Record Error - Urgent to fix Posted: 17 Aug 2005 01:32 PM PDT Shauna: What are you using to check for duplicates? Did you write something yourself or are you using a third-party add-on? Just interested... -- Matt Wittemann http://icu-mscrm.blogspot.com "Shauna Koppang" wrote:

Leads entity in v3.0 Posted: 17 Aug 2005 08:25 AM PDT Understood, but there are 2 problems with having to on-off each and every contact: 1.) You must first pick one of say, 20 leads (as there is 1 lead per contact) to convert/create a new account record. 2.) You must go and update all of the remaining leads with the new customerid, then convert them-- one by one-- to contacts so they can be associated with the new Account record. In a B2C scenario, this may be prudent, but in a B2B, it's tedious for our Users. If an organization is your lead, it makes much more sense to be able to pre associate all of the people that say, a Telemarketer speaks with (which means multiple "Contact" lead records to properly log Phone Call Activities) before they reach the "Decision Maker" which enables the Lead(s) to be converted to an Account/Contact/Opportunity. It seems redundant and superfluous to either a.) only include one contact in the Lead process, as this is never the case for us and b.) Have no automation that can handle many to one association for "contact" leads within an "account" lead so that the conversion process sets everyone up where they need to live outside the realm of the Leads entity. What ends up happening with our end users is that they create one lead for the account/facility, then they import all of the contact data directly into the Contacts entity so as to save the hassle of converting individual Lead records to Contacts. --Dodd "John O'Donnell" wrote:

Unistall CRM Posted: 17 Aug 2005 06:35 AM PDT Hi, So, what if, for some foolish reason, that user profile no longer exists on the machine or has changed significantly? What might be the procedure for a "force uninistall" of SFO when the original user has gone missing? I was able to get most of the way through this by removing folders and reg keys, but when I reinstalled SFO, even though it seemed to go through, there was a problem creating folders. Thank You for any help, E. Palmer "Simon" wrote:

Assign problems Posted: 17 Aug 2005 05:41 AM PDT I posted a similar problem but for some interesting reason the post never made it. Basically when a salesperson leaves we re-assign their contacts to other salespeople. We started noticing that more than just the contacts are re-assigned. All the associated orders went with the contacts as well and that is very very poor design behaviour. Can anyone confirm you are getting the same behaviour? Thanks! "Harald" wrote:

Using onchange event to Hide a field Posted: 16 Aug 2005 11:50 PM PDT I just saw a blog about dynamically hiding an entire tab (within the given entity) based on the value selected in a picklist. If it's possibole to move the fields you'd like to hide dynamically onto their own tab, you might find some value in this guys sample code: http://blogs.msdn.com/joris_kalz/archive/2005/07/27/444152.aspx --Dodd "cdobkins" wrote:

CRM Reports don't work after installation Posted: 16 Aug 2005 10:40 PM PDT Crystal uses an ODBC connection IIRC called CE90. That specifies the location of the database. Rob Bakkers, Avanade Netherlands "DougMann" wrote:

Conditional Formatting in Workflow E-mail Posted: 16 Aug 2005 02:06 PM PDT Wow. That's a tough one. I don't think you're going to be able to put conditional statements in the email itself. I think you'll want the conditions to be in the workflow. I'm not sure exactly how to work this out, but I think I would approach it with manual workflow rules that call other manual workflow rules (sub processes). So, you might have Rule 1 that the account rep runs when they create the opportunity. Rule 1 might go something like: If opportunity.owner = John Smith Then Run Rule 2 Else Run Rule 3 Rule 2 might say: If opportunity.CFPunderwriter = Frank Jones Then Run Rule 4 Else Run Rule 5 Then you'd need Rule 3 to say: If opportunity.CFPunderwriter = Scott Wilson Then Run Rule 6 Else Run Rule 7 You'd have to do a number of rules. I'd start by diagramming it out. Then the final rule that each branch of the diagram would get to would be the email. I guess if you have too many possible combinations, you could potentially end up writing 100 rules, and then face the prospect of someone leaving the organization or changing their name or getting promoted, and you'd be in it all over again. The other approach: Write a web application that has all of your logic built-in and call it from an ISV button on the opportunity form. This would be harder to do, but would probably end up serving your purposes better. Anyone else have some thoughts on this one??? -- Matt Wittemann http://icu-mscrm.blogspot.com "Vinh" wrote:

CRM and GP integration with Biztalk 2002 Posted: 16 Aug 2005 12:48 PM PDT If you have been using both products disparately, you run the risk of ending up with a huge amount of unintegrated duplicate data in your systems (i.e. customers, products, etc.) Don't go into it expect your existing data to be "integrateable". Most likely you will have to migrate your data from Great Plains using the scripts provided by MS and then use some sort of de-duping tool (c360 has one with their SearchPac module) or write your own script. Bottom line, MS built the integration with the assumption that Great Plains is already in place and that you would implement it at the same time you implemented CRM. Also, once the Biztalk integration is in place you will notice many flaws in the architecture of the adapters (i.e. messages can "partially" fail, accountid is mapped to customerid but customeid is mapped to "integrationid" useless for getting the correct account #'s into Great Plains causing our Acct. Mgr. to edit customerid's with Changer, the list goes on). On top of that Biztalk is highly unstable. Jobs will run...sometimes. Message Monitoring/Diagnostic tools are a stinking pile of sh**ty hacks thrown together. I wish our development team wrote a custom integration from the get-go now that i look back on all of the time I wasted on the "free" integration. On the other hand, we have been very impressed with the Scribe INsight for CRM integration tool (our developers just went through cert training and are testing the product) and we are about to migrate off the Biztalk integration and implement the Scribe solution internally (Scribe provides a migration tool and will assist with shutting down a Biztalk solution). My advice (supported by many sleepless nights) is to avoid the "free" Biztalk integration and go with Scribe or wait for the next iteration. sorry to be so long-winded. :P Austin "Matt Parks" wrote:

The only thing I can come up with is that there is a password issue between SQL and CRM that isnt syncing up correctly or it has something to do with the SSL from the previous install.
