hidding group commands in ribbon and setting password with vb
all this is for access 2007 Ok, I can manipulate the access default ribbon tabs and groups but is there a way to, for example, hide a command in a Tab's group?

Re: User Groups
I have a user that is deleting someone off a distribution group, and I need to know if there is a way to trace who is doing it. We have a pretty good idea, but can't fire people on idea's. I'm going to change the security as soon as I find out who it is, but in the meantime I need to know if there is a way of finding out who is doing it? is there an event that will tell me, or is there a way I can have an email sent when someone is removed from a group etc.... Thank you very much, Glan. If you enable auditing on the domain, then go to the group in ADUC and select prop...

Group contacts in a public folder
Is there a way to group contacts that are in a public folder? When I go to View/Current View/Customize Current View, the "Group By" option is deactivated.

CRM 3.0 Email Router installation
While upgrading Email router for CRM 3.0, the system requirement screen shows that the Operating System failed the test with the following message. The operating system version 5.2 is not supported by the installed product. We are running Windows 2003 Server and Exchange 2003 SP2.

CRM to GP Integration--Account # to Account ID
Hello: Has anybody else run across a problem integrating account records in CRM--specifically the account numbers? We would like to be able to assign an account number from CRM once they become a customer and place the first order. We have setup the integration to create GP customers on order creation, but GP overrides whatever is entered in the CRM account # field and writes the account name into the GP Customer ID field. One option we thought of was to create the records first in GP, but this would be time consuming and there would be no way to link the newly created custome...

CRM SDK

An activated quote has its fields in read-only mode, but I want to be able to update a custom field of an "activated" quote. Please let me know if this is possible, e.g., can I convert the quote to "update-mode", make the change, then put it back in read-only mode? thanks. ...

db design to calculate overlap in group membership in time
Hi all, I am a biologist studying the social structure of birds. I am currently brainstorming ideas for constructing a database that will allow me to easily calculate the number of seconds that one bird is in the same group as another bird. Because group membership changes frequently with birds arriving and departing at different times, and often arriving, departing, and re-arriving on the scale of seconds, I will have many thousands of records. I am trying to determine how to best set up this database before entering all the data. I have 2 goals with this database: 1) I need to f...

CRM a BIG dissapointment ?!?!?
I'm sorry to use this as a topic. But I want the opinions of people. Cause at my view this software is nothing. An example, the customization form. I want to add values in Accounts.

max no group
Hi , Is there any solution for Max without grouping? There are different data and only one distinct on the row to display for the max value. For example, data are as : 1, 2 , 6 , 7 and another column to find for max value here is for relation to it : 3, 4, 9, 2 so the only max of them is 6, 9 . I try it on the expression of max but there is no other option on another to find relation of it of the column expression max. Thanks any idea? If there is no GROUP, the MAX occur over the column for all the records of the table. If your data is like: f1 f2 1 3 2 ...

Can a Universal Distribution Group be part of a Universal Security Group
The "_All Managers" is a Universal Distribution Group. I created a "Managers Universal Group" and made it a Universal Security Group, and I added the "_All Managers" DUG to it. My boss's email was: "I made the UG the only authorized user for Project and it instantly disappeared from my Citrix login options. (Before my user account had explicitly been authorized). I don't know that you can effectively add a distribution group to a security group, because that would leave group membership in the hands of the distribution group owner, who l...

Grouping over multiple nodes
Seeing how my previous post seem to have fallen between the cracks, I thought I would have a second, more direct, go at it. So my question is "Is it possible to group (Muenchian method) over multiple nodes?" I will use an example to try to explain what I need to do and what I have for data. The example might not be very realistic but it's much easier than to try and explain using the scenario I have =P Suppose I had a list of locations for which shipped packages has been sent. Each item (Segment node) details the following * Which package does it describe (PackageId) * Whe...

Creating a calculation based on a grouping
I have a database used to record invoices (vendor, date, number, service period beginning and end, amount, etc.). My report shows the records for a specific time frame. (In the database, the service period is entered as: SvPeriod: 1/01/2008, SvPeriodEnd: 1/31/2008.) The records are grouped by vendor and then by service period. However, when creating the report, I chose to use SvPeriod by Month, in which case Access turned the SvPeriod date into the actual month and year and created the "SvPeriod by Month" field. (For example, it took 1/01/2008 and created January 2008.) ...

Is CRM a good tool for marketing list management?
In conversation, the question came up on whether or not CRM is a good tool for marketing list management.
