While doing my CRM Online install, I attempted to set the client up with the CRM Outlook client. It appeared to install properly but then Outlook would not run. When attempting to run it, we would get a message that the program had not shut down properly and the data file needed to be massaged. After...

Exposing Service Calendar in Outlook

I just blogged about using the Service Calendar as a corporate calendar. I noted that it is not available out of the box in the Outlook client. I've just experimented a bit and managed to expose the Service Calendar in my Outlook client. To do so, you must modify the Site Map and remove the Client...

Corporate Calendar

A client of mine actually pointed this out. I'd never thought of this. The owner wants to be able to have a common 'Corporate Calendar' for all CRM appointments. The CRM calendar doesn't do that, nor does the Outlook calendar. Thought about using a public folder in Exchange, but it wouldn't...

I recently authored a short article on the various courses available on MS CRM and the levels of certification one can achieve. It has been posted to the CRM Team blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/crm/archive/2008/07/23/are-you-certifiable.aspx . Please give it a read.

Can't Promote E-mail in CRM 4.0 Because Message Is Too Big

I have received a few e-mail messages from time to time that I cannot Track In CRM in CRM 4.0. When I do, I receive an error message stating the message is too big. This is interesting because even one word messages will produce this error, as long as it's from a specific sender. I've found that...

Extending CRM 3.0 Certification

Today I took, and passed (!!!) the Extending CRM 3.0 certification exam (MB2-498). This was quite an accomplishment for me since I am not a developer (these days, but I used to be one heck of a programmer in the '80s! Maybe again...). I learned an awful lot working my way through the course. Granted...

Where Did My AppMode Go?

When I ran CRM 3.0, I had set the AppMode key in the CRM web.config file to Off. This causes CRM to display in a regular Internet Explorer windows. With it on, CRM strips off all the IE stuff and only displays CRM. Unfortunately with IE7 it also caused an additional windows to open asking you to confirm...
