Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 View Records Filtering

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 View Records Filtering In Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 views, you can sort records by clicking the column header. Did you know you can also filter records?

Updating CRM records via Excel Export in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011

Updating CRM records via Excel Export in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 In Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 data can be exported to Excel file.

E4D CRM 2011 Ribbon Customization Utility

E4D CRM 2011 Ribbon Customization Utility I have recently done a lot of Ribbon customization tasks in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011. As there are few references on this issue, these tasks involves a lot of trial and error iterations, each require zipping the solution files, uploading to the server and publishing. After 2 or 3 iterations, this becomes exhausting and mind numbing. For that reason I have developed the Ribbon Customization Utility , which can be downloaded at Codeplex , along with source...

One trivial solution to this problem is developing a custom module that will be repeatedly launched by Windows Scheduled Tasks feature or Windows Service and perform the required task. Another solution, one that does not require writing code , can be implemented using the...

Huh? Ice cream, yay!

I have been using the term Vanilla for quite some time now to describe Microsoft Dynamics CRM application when referring to the state in which it comes right out of the box.
