BCM imports to CRM? Where?!I've spent five hours online searching the web, microsoft support, CRM help
files, program files folders, etc. and I find hundreds of references that say
"Oh yes, it's easy to import data from Business Contact Manager to CRM 3.0!"
but not ONE single reference on how to do it. Either my search skills are
terrible or this is one well-kept secret.
The Bulk Import Wizard only imports from .txt or .csv files.
Can some please directly answer the question: How do I import from Business
Contact Manager to MS CRM 3.0? Where do I find the tool(s)?
TIA,
James Hoiby

meeting request through emailI want to send a meeting request through email in asp.net (C#). Not
attachment. When the "meeting request" email is received, there are
"accept", "deline" button on it.
I wonder if it is possible. If yes, could please give a code example.
Better ask this in one of the programming newsgroups down the hall. They all
start with outlook.program_
Good luck!

ZIP/PostCodes and CRMHow do you link the Post Code Database so that when you time in Post Code it
populates the Address fields?
About the only supported method for doing this would be to do something with a
post-callout, but that would not get feedback to the user in a very timely
manner. There are some address verification products that you could try, I know
Quick Address (qas.com) has one that ties into MSCRM.

expand CRM databasecould we expand CRM database and add more fields?
Hi,
Yes this is possible. This is called customization in crm and is possible
for all the normal entities like contacts, accounts, opportunities, leads
etc. Microsoft created a tool called 'Deployment manager' for this which is
delivered with the application.
With kind regards,

Outlook Express synchronization of all Outlook emailI recently made the blunder of adding my Exchange Server
into my OE accounts. The next time I accessed a newsgroup
I got to watch as all of my email was MOVED from my OL
inbox to my OE inbox. If only the dialog box had popped up
and asked me if I really wanted to do this!
I have since found the box that deals with synchronization
and chosen the proper format to no longer do this. Is
there any way to reverse the process, or am I stuck with
forwarding myself all 500+ messages. Yeah, I know - that's
why you keep a short list of messages!

How to automatic sort email into folder plus download the attachemHi,
I have this surveillance camera which will send email when its detected
motion. In a typical day, it will send out hundreds of emails attached with
short video clips of what it detected.
I know how to redirect these email into my designated folder but can the
outlook automatically download the attachement into my hard drive (my desired
folder) as opening each email and save the video clips is troublesome.
Anyone there to help. I believe this is common for nowadays as most of us

CRM AlertsThis is a comment from one of our clients:

alarms....that’s just stupid in my book...there should be something with-in
the system...hell simple Act has that...Goldmine has that...and those are
cheapass programs...I could never have conceived a mega program like MS CRM
wouldn’t have alarms...and I can’t make the work flow create an email to

Hi Kyaw,
I did it the following way for a customer:
1) You will need to precreate the five groups within your AD. There is no
need of having a own OU (Container, Organizational Unit) for them. Follow the
naming convention of your company or use the default namings from Microsoft
for the five groups. There is no need for your AD Admin to assig...

Using Windows Service and CRMHappy Holidays, All!
This isn't covered in the SDK, that I can see, but we have a service running
that needs to query the CRM database (using the SDK) - but it is running on
an application server out side of CRM. We can do this with impersonation,
using an existing user in CRM - but the password needs to be hardcoded that
way - making it necessary to revisit the applicatin every 90 days...
Any other thoughts on how to run a windows service against CRM?
Thanks!

Reminders in CRMCan I set reminders in CRM? If I am replying to an email, I see that I can

There is nothing that "pops-up", if that's what you mean. but the "my home

Upgrading From CRM Trial to Full VersionHi,
We ae running CRM 3 trial version, and have brought a valid license for
the server and 20 CAL's. Now the problem I haver is that we have bought it
under a volume license agreement, so don't have a License Key to upgrade the
trial version. I assume I have to install the CRM a fresh? or possible
upgrade the trial version via a CD?
You possibly will have a product key in eOpen (online tool) If so you can
use license manager on the CRM server to apply the server and user licenses.
Check with your supplier if this is the case..

Setup/Publish Reports for MS CRM 4.0 Professional on Separate Server?1) I installed MS CRM 4.0 Professional on ServerA and specified that
the data and report server will be ServerB.
2) No default reports were installed to ServerB; however, it does
appear to have created a DeploymentName_MSCRM folder in Report Manager
on ServerB.
3) I then read somewhere that "MS CRM SRS Data Connector" needed to be
installed on the Report Server (ServerB) so I subsequently did that.
How do I get the reports installed to the DeploymentName_MSCRM folder
on ServerB now? Instructions I've seen mention running
