As there is no access to reports via the api now is there a way to simulate the "last activity" checkbox on the "accounts general" section of accounts reporting via the api?
I am trying to undo a hierarchy that has been built up on an account. I tried to replace the parent account id with blank value, but received an error stating "object reference not set to an instance of an object". Is there a way to undo a hierarchy via the api?
We are having inconsistent problems with doing queries against fields that are not in a page layout. Sometimes it works fine, other times an error occurs. Do fields have do be in a page layout to be accessed through the api? What is the relationship?
I was curious as to where the correct place to report a bug or odd behavior? When we call our app from a WIL it used to fit the screen perfectly without scroll bars or clipping. Now it is clipping the screen halfway up and also putting scroll bars on. The result of this is that some navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen that used to be visible aren't any longer making it very confusing for the users and ulgy from an aesthetic standpoint.
Where is the official place to log a request to have this corrected?
I have a query that I'm running against several different instances that includes some SFDC required fields like rating and sic code. Even though these are required fields in SFDC if they are not in the account layout, the query seems to fail. Is the account layout what determines if I can query against account fields?
Is there a way to have a field that does not show up to users but I can use to drive logic for my app? (If it is in some other obscure layout visible only to the sys admin would the query work then?)
I have part of may application that is till using the old api's. When I call it from an web intergation link in SFDC I was getting what appeared to be geographic responses for the API partner url so I could map those to v2.0 endpoints. Now I am getting responses like https://ssl.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/2.5 which I can't seem to map to a url for the older api. Is there a way to do this or do I need to upgrade my app?
I prefer the query capability of the 2.5 api but MUCH prefer the XML that is returned from the older api.
I'm getting return values from a query about users but am getting some unexected results, namely every element is preceded by "nsX:" is there a way to just get
<records> <username> <etc> </records>
for each returned record as opposed to having the "nsX" added?
Is there any way to pass parameters from the useful links on the home page as you can do from the links on the account detail page or other detail pages?
Alternately, is there a way to put a web integration link on the account page (not account detail)?
I'm trying to do a query and filter on the ownerID. I grab the ownerID from the login response and send it in the query below. Instead of getting only the recordds for the owner I get all of the records.

Is there a way to call an external web service from sforce.com? I want to add a custom tab to sales.com. Every time the users click on this tab, I want to fetch data by calling an external web service (that we already have) and display the data.
If this is not supported, what is the preferred way of fetching data from an external datasource? The documentation talks extensively about getting data out of salesforce.com. I could not find much information on making outbound calls from salesforce.com. WILs seem to require creation of web pages outside of salesforce.com.
