How do I allow users using standard profiles to view a custom object?

Some of the users in my organisation are not able to see all the custom objects that I have created.

Trying to fix this, I've been around and checked every checkbox I could find that looked even vaguely applicable to no avail. Apart from the ones under Setting->Manager Users->Profiles because apparently the standard profiles cannot be edited.

Which is where I start to get confused. Because according to the documentation "users with standard profiles can't access new custom objects—you must assign them custom profiles and edit the profiles" ... but about half of my custom objects are accessible with the standard profiles.

So obviously there must be way to allow standard profiles access to custom objects because I've apparently already done it several times but as I'm making this up as I go along learning this as I go along I didn't realise it was impossible at the time and now can't remember how to do it again.

Can anyone enlighten me?

I'm having some problems with time based workflow. I have set up an email drip campaign using time based workflow. To do this, I created a series of outbound emails based on a custom date field, "activation date". I also created completed tasks associated with each of these emails so that we would have a record that the emails were sent.

The emails are sent out over the course of a 35 day period. When I first activated the campaign, I went through and triggered the workflow on a list of contacts that are already somewhere along that 35 day period. I then went to monitor my time based workflow and noticed that the actions that should have taken place in the past showed up in the queue. (e.g. if someone was supposed to receive an email 10, 20, 27, and 35 days after 9/1/09, they showed up in the queue for all of these dates, regardless of whether the date had passed or not.) I deleted all of the past dates from the queue, cancelling the actions, because I did not want these people to receive all of these emails in one day.

Unfortunately, this morning I noticed that the associated tasks with the workflow showed up in the contacts' activity history. I ran a report, and sure enough, the tasks were logged for all of the past dates even though I had cancelled the workflow. I ran a report for html email sent, but unfortunately came up with no results--maybe it does not record email sent through workflow?

I have a few questions, and answers to any of them would be greatly appreciated.

1. Is there any way that I can see if the emails actually went out? It's probably just wishful thinking, but I'm hoping just the tasks were logged and the emails didn't go out.

2. Is it possible to create workflow rules that will only trigger future actions? i.e. Can I create workflow that will put someone on the middle of a series or do they always have to start from the beginning?

3. Any ideas of why the workflow was still executed even though I cancelled it?

I would like SF to create a new case automatically when another one with certain conditions has been closed.

- Create a new case with custom case type and assign it to a queue.

- Closed case has to fill certain criterias: case type, some field values must match criteria, and so on..

How can this be done? I'm not able to do very complicated programming. Do you have any pointers on how to proceed with this task?

I installed this App successfully in my dev org, but when I repeat the process in my client's Production Org, clicking the 'Find Nearby Accounts' link opens the VF window, but then I get an empty dialog box, and no results.

The batch Geocode Accounts function works fine. 

I have de-installed, repeated the setup process, but same results.

Ideas? 

I am trying to grab an email address from the parent window when my Custom Button is clicked on a Lead Detail page.  But it seems like I am doing something wrong in my JavaScript to get at the parent window's HTML (Lead Detail page).   Does anyone know the correct syntax to get the HTML of the Lead Detail page when my JavaScript is invoked?

Here is my code snippet:

 var obj = parent.document.getElementsByTagName('td');

 Alert(obj.innerHTML);

Whatever I am getting back issnt the HTML of the Lead Detail page.   And I have tried different combinations of window.parent, parent.window etc etc with no luck.

thanks in advance. 

Hi...I have a custom object ('line_item') that is related to Contracts via the contract number.  I have two questions :

1. Can I pull values for the related line items when I mail merge from the contracts page?

2. Can I use the same syntax as opportunity product lines (i.e. 'LINE_ITEM_CONTRACT_ID_START') for printing multiple records?

I am on Professional Edition, thanks for any help forthcoming.

Cheers....Ben

I am trying to find a way to track an html status of an email.All of my outboud email is going from workflow email alerts .Is there any way that i can keep track of emails opened by customer  and count .

Any help is appreciated..... 

hi all, this is my first post, made in desperation after searching to try and find this solution already discussed but no luck so far.

my problem is the restrictions on the behaviour of the inbuilt send email button in only lookingup contacts or person accounts. - I need to use the 'send email' functionality from my custom object (in order to merge the custom object field data into the email template) to send emails to leads as well as accounts, and I don't want to convert these leads at this stage just so that I can send them this email (I intend to automate this email being send to new leads on creation in the future).

I understand that I need to use a custom 'send email' button in replacement of the standard one, and the code for this button should facilitate contacts/person account and leads both being permitted in the recipient lookup.

has anyone built this already and can help me out?

thanks
