Is there any way to access the Contact Id of a Person Account for a formula field as I need to build a URL that contains the Contact ID and not the Account ID for the Person Account?
After the sandbox was updated to Winter '09 on September 19, the Summer '08 Force.com IDE has been unusable for me for Apex code development on both a Linux with Eclipse 3.2 and MacOS X with Eclipse 3.3.
Effectively, any change to a source file, including trivial changes, say to a comment, results in "Save error: invalid server id"
Tests do not run at all - no output in the Errors or Apex Test Code Runner tabs of the IDE.
Code may be edited in the Salesforce web app, and tests run there, but not being able to use the IDE makes deployment considerably less convenient.
I realise that there are some known issues surrounding this, but how widespread is the problem? I haven't found mention of it here on the boards, so I'm wondering if the bug is specific to only some orgs (which raises the question of why). Also, with the IDE going GA in a week, is there a release candidate of the IDE that addresses these issues?
Just hoping to learn more about the nature of this problem...
It is possible to query for contacts who are CSS enabled? I don't see this as a field on the Contact entity, nor can I determine which related record this information may be on. Is it named something strange that I'm just missing?

I'm new to using the Sforce API and I was wondering if someone knows of an example of implementing single sign-on for the self service portal. For my scenario, a user logs into our software, navigates to the portal page on our site which automatically logs them in to the self-service portal, and then the portal is displayed in an Iframe on our site.
I suppose I can do a HTTP form post to "https://ssl.salesforce.com/sserv/login.jsp" to login the self-service user but can this be done through the API instead?
I am new to salesforce.com and python. Is anyone able to do integration with slasesforce.com using Python? I am mainly interested in nightly batch job process but any examples or general advice is highly appreciated. One big issue is that we are in a very old version of Python, v2.1.3. I'd like to hear from you and your sucess stories or nightmares if you have done any integration with salesforce.com using python. Thank you very much.
