My company (www.OOPforce.com) is currently interviewing for SF developers in a variety of disciplines including .NET, JAVA, Perl, Flash Actionscript, APEX etc.  These developers will work on small/medium sized development projects around the world. Please send resumes and availabilty to:
 
I have Unit of measure (UOM) pick list variable which should be only milligram or gram.

During API calls, when a new record is created, how do i enforce this? In other words if someone provides kilogram as UOM, I don't want the record to be inserted.

The system today will insert a record with kilogram.

The API manual (see below) talks about a variable called "RestrictedPickList", but I am not sure how to set it.

In the Field object associated with the DescribeSObjectResult, the restrictedPicklist field defines whether the field is
a restricted picklist or not. The API does not enforce the list of values for advisory (unrestricted) picklist fields on create()
or update.When inserting an unrestricted picklist field that does not have a PicklistEntry, the system creates an “inactive”
picklist value. This value can be promoted to an “active” picklist value by adding the picklist value in the Salesforce user
interface.

Hi,
 
currently I'm developing an SalesForce integration with a call application. This application provides an integrated webbrowser in which I want to load the normal SalesForce interface/application.
When a call is coming in, I want to automatically search for the account/contact who is calling in SalesForce.
Initially, I have done some investigating on the SF API which I can use. I can search directly some SQL statements for the necessary information. However, in that case I do need to develop an interface myself. What I basically want is that I use the complete SalesForce interface within my application, and that when I search for a Contact for example, that I display that contact information in SF the same way as when I've done a search in SF manually.
In that way, the user can work in SF whole day, with the standard interface, only they have another skin and additional functionality in the parent application.
 
As this is my first SF development, any help is appreciated. Btw, I want to develop it in ASP.NET
 
TIA, Rutger
It's not often I ask for help but this one has me puzzled and I'm not sure what route to go.

I have a custom object the has 3 fields I'm trying to automate. The fields are Product Type, Product Name, and Part #.

I'm trying to use an S-control with a javascript multi-level select that I can just hover over the menu and drill down to the correct part number. But I have no idea how to get the data from the menu into a text box or into the object field itself.

I have no problems updating fields from an S-control but the menu thing has me puzzled. I started with a chain-menu drop-down but still couldn't figure out the transfer of data.

I don't want to go on and on, so a direct email or phone call might be better.

If I want to look at an app's source code to see how it works, is that possible?
I downloaded the ASP samples from here:
https://wiki.apexdevnet.com/index.php/API#.NET
and ran the installer.  When I open the solution file with visual stdio.net, I get:
"The project file or web cannot be found"
under the ASPSample2 project.

Help?

Is it possible to hide or turn off a button in the Activity History section of a Case layout using an S-Control, CSS, or otherwise?  I have tried several methods and none seem to have the effect we are after.  If anyone knows a trick to  hide a single button or turn it off please let me know.  Thank you.
 
I read that Winter might have the ability, can anyone confirm if thats true?

Hi There

I have seen some other posts related to this subject, but unfortunately I could not resolve my issue with the feedback provided. I'm hoping someone here can assist.

I have pasted my request and response messages below. I'm trying to update a single field in 'Contact' using the enterprise WSDL and have tried various combinations of fields, including a different sObject of Account, but all render the same response.

I have successfully retrieved information using query and retrieve however, after login. I'm trying this from a native xml development environment and have tried submitting this request from XML Spy and a browser client-side HTTP request and all return the same response.

I hope you can assist.

Kind Regards

Has anyone encountered this error. I get it very random. It works sometimes and other times I get this error. The server that I am using to connect to salesforce.com is behind an Array Networks SSL accelerator.
Here is a stack trace of the error I get.

Hello,
I'm a new SF user. I'm looking for a tool that let me 'connect' to SF (from my desktop) without log in each time. Do You know if this tool (Appexchange) exists?

My application is hosted outside of Salesforce and uses the API to keep data in sync.  This obvisouly requires a SF user account to be used to create and update objects in SF.  Does this user account need to be an Administrator account, or could it just be any SF user that is using a profile that has been granted the necessary rights (Modify All Data?)?  This user needs to be able to access picklist values, create companies, company contacts, users, etc.
I am trying to use the 8.0 AJAX API to pull salesforce information into an external page.  Having trouble with this with winter 07 and the new AJAX API.

Pre release winter 07 location: https://prerelna1.pre.salesforce.com
Ajax 8.0 Javascript:  https://prerelna1.pre.salesforce.com/soap/ajax/8.0/connection.js

I have tried setting sforce.connection.ur manually to https://prerelna1.pre.salesforce.com or https://prerelna1.pre.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/8.0 with no luck.

Im sure I am missing something simple.  How do I do this?  Does anyone have a sample page?  Are the samples from the AJAX Beta 3 going to be updated?

Appreciate the help!
Hi all--

I'm attempting to update the Account Number, and two custom fields under Accounts using the partner WSDL, C#.net, and the SOAP API.  Anytime I do multiple fields nothing happens, but the program returns success.  If I only do one field at a time, it updates that field without a problem and also returns success.  Does anyone have any insight as to why this is happening?  Does SalesForce only let you update one field at a time?

Thanks.

I have the following query in sforce explorer:
 
Select Probability from Opportunity
 
The query results in an error: "Query failed: Input string was not a correct format."
 
Can someone tell me why this error occurs, and how I can get the Probability from the Opportunity table?
 
- thanx
