User accesible issue in ms crm 4.0
i faced one issue, that the user in MS CRM is unable to log in, its showing you do not have sufficient permission to view these records.
Even if the user is in enabled list.
i also can disable and enable the user, still the user cud not logged in.
OBSERVATION
May be the user has been deleted from the AD and after that again created.
WORK AROUND
What i did is, i just opened the user in crm , then i changed the same to another user, which is not in ms crm, suppose a temp user.
Then i tried to log in using the temp user, i am able to login.
Then what i did is, i swaped back from temp user to the actual user.
Then the actual user was able to login.
This works,
hope this will help somebody really...

alternate colors in the main grid of ms crm 4.0
Sometimes the requirement used to come as the records in the main grid to be alternate colors as in normal grid controls.
keep it in mind we are going to alter the aspx page provided by MS CRM :P
To achieve it in CRM just needs some JS code.
1. open the HomePage.aspx from the _root folder
2. append a method onload of the body as <body class="stage" onload="alterGridRecords()">
3. now the function alterGridRecords should be as followed
function alterGridRecords(){
var grid = document.getElementById("gridBodyTable").lastChild; //gridBodyTable is the id, wch will help
for (var i = 0; i < grid.childNodes.length; i++)
{
if ((i % 2) == 0) {
grid.childNodes[i].style.backgroundColor = "#EEEEEE"; //put color as per the user requested
grid.childNodes[i].colourised = true;
}
else {
grid.childNodes[i].style.backgroundColor = "#FFFFFF"; //put color as per the user requested
grid.childNodes[i].colourised = true;
}
}
}
this is so simple
one prob in the above is that you will not be able to make the selected records in diff color.
so just a bit twist
grid.childNodes[i].childNodes[2].style.backgroundColor = "#FFFFFF";
this will make alternate colorsonly the 1st column as its being implemented as only one color in ms crm 2011. :P

Default look up value with out knowing the GUID only the text in MS CRM 4.0
Hi,
The default lookup can be done clearly and in supported way as in sdk in my othe r link. Default lookup value with GUID.
Some times while working in dev,UAT and prodution and moving from here to there
or if any one deleted the record and recreated again , means in any chance the GUID got changed , then it will not work.
But one thing here is , only one record should be there in the same name.
Even if its unsupported, still very usefull.
document.all.<FieldScemaName>_ledit.value = 'Default Lookup Value';
document.all.<FieldScemaName>_ledit.fireEvent("onblur");
document.all.<FieldScemaName>_ledit.value = '';
Hope it will help many more.

saving another entity form from one form
Suppose we want to put an entity record in another entity form and on change of anything in the parent we also want to put the value in the child record and also want to save that. This can be done :)
var iframe = crmForm.all.IFRAME_CustomEntity
var iDoc = iframe.contentWindow.document;
var iframe_isSaved = true;
// checking if the Custom Entity has been changed
if (iDoc.crmForm.IsDirty())
{
// save Custom Entity
var iframe_isSaved = iDoc.crmForm.Save();
}
if (iframe_isSaved == false) // validation failed on Custom entity
{
event.returnValue = false; // Cancel the SAVE on Account
return false;
}
Just test and see.
var iframe = crmForm.all.IFRAME_CustomEntity
var iDoc = iframe.contentWindow.document;
var iframe_isSaved = true;
// checking if the Custom Entity has been changed
if (iDoc.crmForm.IsDirty())
{
// save Custom Entity
var iframe_isSaved = iDoc.crmForm.Save();
}
if (iframe_isSaved == false) // validation failed on Custom entity
{
event.returnValue = false; // Cancel the SAVE on Account

How to Load external JS files in MS CRM Form
Some times its really helpful to link the external js files to a form.
It will help you, that you can srite in a file by using VS studio or any js editor.
//create the function which will load the file
function LoadExternalScript(scriptFile)
{
var netRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
netRequest.open("GET", scriptFile, false);
netRequest.send(null);
eval(netRequest.responseText);
}
//call the above function by passing your file name(absolute path)
LoadExternalScript("/ISV/js/filename.js");
//now call the OnLoad function, which has defined in the external JS file
//also you can define and call other function, in the external JS files
OnLoad();
Have a wonderful coding.
