With S-Controls soon to be deprecated, we're in the process of converting all of the S-Control content in our AppExchange package to Visualforce. The only question is what to do with "snippet" S-Controls. In particular, we have one snippet that contains the URL of a web application that we link to. Then, in a custom button or link, we can use the INCLUDE() function to reference the URL, e.g.
If we need to change the URL for any reason -- typically, when moving from a test/prerelease version of the external app to production, and vice-versa -- we update the Snippet and all of our links update automatically.
What's the best practice here? Will "snippet" S-Controls and the INCLUDE() function be deprecated, or live on? Is there a different approach?

I just installed the Winter '09 Force.com IDE for Eclipse 3.3.2 on Windows XP. I'm able to successfully create a Force.com project, connect to the service, and download the contents of a package. But, when I try to access the Schema Browser, I get a dialog with the following error:
Unable to open Schema Browser
Reason: Invalid username, password, security token; or user locked out.
I also get a series of errors in the Forec.com IDE Log Viewer:

Now, I know that the user isn't locked out because I just downloaded the package contents, and downloading again works successfully. It's only the Schema Browser that presents a problem.
I also checked the Login History in the Salesforce org that I'm trying to connect to, and I see one successful login followed by a failed login.

I am not using a Security Token since I am connecting via a trusted IP address.
In the 14.0 API, SOQL seems to return inconsistent results for date fields such as "BirthDate" and "LastActivityDate."
For example, I've submitted this query via both the Data Loader and the API directly:
Code:
SELECT Id, Contact.FirstName, Contact.LastActivityDate, Contact.BirthDate
FROM CampaignMember
WHERE CampaignId = '70120000000Edd4AAC' and ContactId != NULL
In both cases, no value is returned for the LastActivityDate and BirthDate fields, even though I can verify that these fields are populated in the UI for the contacts returned. If I examine the XML returned from the API, I find
so Salesforce is definitely returning a null value for this field; it's not a parsing problem.
If I remove the "relationship" part of the query and just query against one of the contacts directly
Code:
SELECT Id, FirstName, BirthDate, LastActivityDate
FROM Contact
WHERE Contact.Id = '0032000000HaHxf'
BirthDate is returned correctly, but not LastActivityDate.
Any idea what's going on? The objective of the original query was to return a list of campaign member names, addresses, and the last activity date for the contact or lead. I can retrieve other, non-date fields from contacts and leads just fine.

We're creating a Multiforce application that depends on an external partner application writing updates to custom objects at regular intervals (overnight, several times per day, etc.). What's the best way to set this up?
The partner application is being written in .net and uses the Partner API. When used interactively, there's no problem; we can pass a valid SessionID in the URL. The challenge comes when the partner app needs to "wake up" and proactively write updates to the Salesforce organization.
One option would be to store a user ID and password for our organization in the external application, but that creates a whole host of issues, security being just the first one. Are there any other/better alternatives?
I am using .NET and the v4.0 enterprise API to create an application that keeps a local copy of my organization's Accounts, Contacts, etc.
I've discovered that the salesforce "API" time (as returned by GetServerTimeStamp) differs from the time shown in the interactive Salesforce UI by about 5 minutes. This causes problems with getUpdate and other calls that depend on a date range.
For example, if I update an Account using the live site, the "last modified date" will be displayed as 11:08 AM. If I then immediately run GetServerTimeStamp, it returns 11:03 AM. I would expect the two times to be the same.
When a user inserts or updates information in Salesforce (for example, an address), it's important that the information appear rapidly in the local copy of the data that our systems use. We're polling every 5 minutes or so, and this time discrepancy is causing changes to be missed. The API thinks that the changes haven't happened yet!
I can create a hack solution by just adding ~5 minutes to the EndDate of my GetUpdated call, but that could potentially create a lot of duplicate work -- each call would overlap the last one by 5 minutes. I'm wondering if there is a reason for the time discrepancy between the servers, or if there is a cleaner solution?
I just want to create a record in an object when i click button on the detail page.I have made the logic in an Apex class and calling the method by using javascript. Please see the following code
var opportunityName ="{!Opportunity.Id}"; alert("Hi"); alert(opportunityName); sforce.apex.execute("QuoteToOrderConverterController","QuoteToOrderConverter", {a:opportunityName}); } catch(e) { alert("Error while converting from Quote to Order"); }

I'm wondering if there is a reason for the time discrepancy between the servers, or if there is a cleaner solution?
Is there a limit to the number of records that the getUpdated method can return?
If this limit is 2000, say, and a change occurs, such as changing a picklist value of a field, which affects more than this number is a very short time span, how should this be handled?
There doesn't appear to be a similar method to queryMore, so looping to retrieve all changes or setting a smaller batch size is not an option here.
