There is a bug in one of the hot fixes that I had recently installed and
started seeing this error and may also be what you are seeing. The hot fix
was KB956445. Here are a couple ways to reproduce the error or check for it:

RE: Dynamics CRM windows blocked by a pop-up blocker

cmil...@discussions.microsoft.com (cmiller) — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 19:02:10 UT

I noticed that it didn't help me at first either. However, I checked my
processes running in Task manager and noticed that even though I closed all
of the IE windows, it still had at least one running. I force quit all of
the IExplore.exe processes, and when I did, it worked.
Steps I took to resolve problem:

Re: Change default duration on phone calls

Hi John,
Just want to let you know the actual duration minute field is an
integer field, you need to use JavaScript to update the value. I am
thinking of this on top of my head and you might want to check it with
the SDK.
crmForm.all.actualdurationminu tes.DataValue = 5;
Hope this helps!

Were you ever able to update your workstations via Group Policy? I'd love to
use the AutoUpdate feature, but the admin permission issue is a brick wall...
I can't find any way around it thusfar.
Thanks,

Re: Filter the view in the servicecalendar

We got the same problem as users are not filtered with security when
used in ressources and service calendar.
Microsoft seem to work on a hotfix.
They told me to run these SQL query against org database (use with
caution - make a full backup before applying these procedures) to get
the security filter back

direl...@salentica.com (Dave Ireland) — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:53:52 UT

yeah, that particular formulae for determining whether or not there is
enough space has baffled me as well. in fairness, I guess it's tough when
you use variable-width fonts and we users can change the names of the
entities.

RE: The quality of the network connection to the Microsoft Dynamic

jukka.majan...@gmail.com (Jukka Majander) — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 11:06:02 UT

Network poor performance is "known" bug in CRM diagnostics. It will give
always that warning, even using loop-back adapter in server. It is not fixed
in Rollup1 even it has been a known issue.

If you will buy MS CRM 4.0 CALs with SA (active) have right to dowgrade all
part of software to previous version:
MS CRM 4.0 Server (Prof. and Ent.) -> MS CRM 3.0 Prof.
MS CRM 4.0 Work. -> MS CRM 3.0 SBE
MS CRM 4.0 CALs -> MS CRM 3.0 CALs
MS CRM 4.0 External Connector -> MS CRM 3.0 Connector
Of course you can buy from another company CALs for MS CRM (Open License only)

Re: Entity buttons missing label text

t...@discussions.microsoft.com (TD) — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 09:02:01 UT

Genius :D
Expanding the Account window by a tiny amount displayed the text. Same for
the Quote and Contact windows too.
What I find odd is that when the text is missing, it looks like there is
plenty of room on the toolbar to display the text, but it's only until you've
expanded the window that CRM then uses all the space available.

Hi Jordi,
If the your goal is to share live data, I would lean toward linked servers.
Working with the live data is obviously a little slower then replicating
with SSIS, but it's also the most current data.
