Wordverification when commenting
Posted on 00:49 by Unknown
Hi All,Today I've turned on word verfication for posting comments. What this does is to prevent automated systems from adding comments to this blog, since it takes a human being to read the word and pass this step. Quite often I am encountering comment spam. A lot of this is done automatically by software which can't pass the word verification, so thats why I set this option. Please do not let

You could dig into the javascript files or htc files, but following this solution is a lot better.You can modify the aspx file, which you want to change the behaviour of the save button. Insert this script into the file and you will get an alert before saving the file:<

Include Javascript files in CRM
Posted on 05:31 by Unknown
This must be familiar to most of you: you're making quite some modifications to the onchange event of a picklist. To keep this readable, you do use tabs and breaks, but after saving this, all tabs and enters are gone. Therefore I like to put most code into .js files and include these files in the page. This would break the contract tough. Another possibility is the httpmodules, but they require

The error message "Please verify that you have enough Crystal licenses" is really awfull.

MS SQL Reporting Services Reports for MSCRM including basic security
Posted on 03:50 by Unknown
Microsoft CRM is using Crystal Reports for reporting purposes. This works pretty fine as long as you do not want to modify reports or create your own reports. Crystal will then become very slow if you are working with thousands of records in your database. You could tweak Crystal, but instead, you could also take a look at MS SQL Reporting Services (SRS). Microsoft has released a report pack for

The current controls which can be put on a CRM entity form are:- String- Integer- Float- Currency- Date/Time- Boolean- Picklist- Memo As you can see, there is no such option like a multi select box.
