Recently I had a customer who needed to set the requirement level based on a certain field combination.

The web is full of examples of how to do this. The way i prefere is the way Ronald does it.

// Set field to not required
crmForm.SetFieldReqLevel("fieldname", 0);

// Set field to business required
crmForm.SetFieldReqLevel("fieldname", 1);

// Set field to business recommended
crmForm.SetFieldReqLevel("fieldname", 2);

For some reason he also specified a alternative way of doing it. I'm not sure why this should be smarter. Enlighten me if you like :-)

// set the field required (i.e. show error message when field is not filled in)
crmForm.all.fieldname.req = 2;

// modify the label to be red
crmForm.all.fieldname_c.className = 'req';

Credits of course goes to Ronald :-)

Hi all

Recently when upgrading a customer to CRM 4.0 we encountered a problem when syncronizing CRM with Outlook (manually), we got an error synchronizing records:

A SQL server error occurred. Try this action again. if the problem continues, check the microsoft dynamics CRM community for solution or contact your...

After digging in this for a while we found a fix for this, that worked perfectly for us.

We upgraded the system on a virtual pc, and then imported the database in a CRM 4.0 RU8 installation. The problem is when installing RU8 the database is updated, but since we imported the database into the RU8 environment these updates were not applied to the database.

The solution was to uninstall rollup 7 & 8 on the server side, restart the server, then install rollup 9, this recreates some tables which are used during the synchronization.

After doing this the synchronization errors stopped, hope this can help you.

best regards

Hassan Iqbal

Yeah, windows 7 RTM has just been released on the MSDN network, so i'm downloading at full speed.

Have been using CRM on the RC version since it was released and it has been running great. Can't wait to install the RTM version.

While i'm reinstalling it i'm going to try booting it as VHD files on my datadisk. Keith Combs has a great video on that here.

Lastly i'm droping in a new corsair p256 SSD disk in my laptop. Should be the ultimate setup :-)

Check ya later
