I've been struggling for days trying to find a SIMPLE example on how to build an outbound message listener using VB.Net. Is there an example out there that is essentially a copy and paste?
Many of my offline users recently upgraded to version 2 of the Offline Edition and complain that the Billing City is no longer displayed in the All Accounts view. After some investigation, I discovered that the file "C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\salesforce.com\Offline2\program\Offline2\config\accountqueries.xml" appears to have a bug in it. The Billing City is in fact listed as a field for the view, but it does not have all the parameters set like the other fields that are displayed.
In the original file, the section for the All Accounts view looks like this:
Notice that the line for billingcity does not have a displayindex or column label. As a test, I modified the line for the billingcity as follows and now it displays in the Offline Edition:
I created a custom object with a lookup reference to the Account object, and then I built a series of reports against the new object. Later I thought I wanted the Account to be a master of the custom object, so I changed the relationship. Now when I attempted to run the reports created against the custom object, I get the dreaded "Report Obsolete" error. Is there an easy way to restore these reports, or must I manually re-create them?
I have a VB 6 application (not .NET) which writes data sfdc using the sforce Office Toolkit DLL. The program hangs when I attempt to insert or update a record where the first character in a field is an ampersand (&. I was able to duplicate the issue in the Excel connector, so I'm pretty sure this is an issue with the toolkit DLL. It does not happen if the ampersand is any other position besides the first one.
Is there an escape character I can use, or a routine I can call, to properly encode this character so it doesn't hang up my program?
Here is an example of code that causes the program to hang:
Note: VB 6 app has a reference to the sforceofficetoolkit v2.0, and a form with 3 command buttons (cmdOK, cmdSearch, cmdUpdate) and 8 textboxes (txtUserName, txtPassword, txtQueryName, txtName, txtBillingStreet, txtBillingCity, txtBillingState, txtBillingPostalCode).
The following is the code for the form:
Option Explicit
Dim oSFDC As New SForceOfficeToolkitLib.SForceSession
Dim qs As SForceOfficeToolkitLib.QueryResultSet
Dim oItem As SForceOfficeToolkitLib.SObject
Dim sSQL As String
Private Sub cmdOK_Click() If oSFDC.Login(Me.txtUserName.Text, Me.txtPassword.Text, False) Then
Looking at the methods available in the Toolkit, I see there is a login method which requires a username and password. Is there a way to login using a SessionID?
I am trying to deploy one class which has implemented Schedulable interface.
But when I try to deploy it using ANT I am getting the following error :
"Schedulable class has jobs pending or in progress".
I am waiting for this to get resolved since more than 48 hrs and it doesn't seem to resolve.
What can be done in such case? How to deploy it to production? I tried to deploy by making packages but could not since the components in the package already exist in production and gives an error when I unzip the package. Please suggest what can be done in this situation.

When a user updates their opportunity close date, it does not affect the schedule dates associated with a product when the product was created. So, if the user doesn't update the schedule dates, reports could show billing to start before the opportunity is projected to close or revenue now showing up in the wrong quarter/year. A single opportunity can have multiple products and it is time consuming to update the individual schedule of every product associated with an opportunity. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to push out schedule dates based upon a change in close date.

We are trying to integrate our software with salesforce.
1) We want to popup a window that displays salesforce account search dialog. The popup dialog should not ask for login. We want to pass the session id to the popup window.
2) After an account is found there should be "Apply" button on the account detail page. That apply button should submit a form to the opener window.
Is it possible to do these customization in salesforce?
Please consider the fact that our development is purely on Html and Javascript on the client side. So we cannot use sfcontrol ActiveX or Applet.
I ran a query on salesforce to acquire all accounts of a specific industry and attempted to save the results to a SQL Server DB table with a primary key constraint on "id".
I get errors everytime I try to load these results. I took the primary key off and data loaded fine. However, when I ran some queries on the saved data it showed that id's where in the table twice.
