Hi there ... does anyone have any experience of using Salesforce under Citrix, specifically Connect for Outlook? The admin guide (https://tapp0.salesforce.com/help/doc/en/salesforce_outlook_admin_cheatsheet.pdf) explains the different registry settings that drive the user-specific options, but we want to handle different users' options on one Citrix server. Does anyone have any particular experience in this area?


Thanks,
Glenn.

Hi there ... this one is baffling me. I have onClick events defined in two places, but only one will work. When I click on a record from the first table (Account Types), the onClick works fine. But if I click on a record from the second table (Accounts), the event doesn't fire. Why??

PAGE:

<apex:page controller="commsActivity" id="thePage">

<apex:pageBlock>
<apex:outputPanel id="myAccountTypes">

Hi there ... I'm trying to create a VisualForce page with Accounts and Contacts. The page will show a limited list of Accounts at the top, based on a SOQL query like "Select Name, Phone, From Account Where (ShippingCountry = 'USA') ". When the user clicks on one Account from the list, I want to show a filtered list of its Contacts below, again based on a SOQL query like "Select Name, Email From Contact Where (Title = 'Director' AND AccountId ={SelectedAccount}) ".

Is this possible, given that the documentation clearly states that "A page can only reference one controller at a time."?

Thanks for any help.

Hi there ... I wonder if anyone else has found this problem. I used to use Salesforce with IE6, which was fine and very quick. But I recently switched to IE7 and now using Salesforce is painfully slow. Compared to IE6 or Firefox 1.5, IE7 takes 4 to 5 times as long to load each page. Has anyone found the same or have any ideas to fix this?


Thanks,

Hi there,

I'm trying to create a validation rule to ensure that when a user creates an Opportunity that they also create at least one Opportunity Contact Role.

I'm pretty sure this isn't possible, because validation would have to occur on the edit page of the Opportunity, but OCRs aren't created there. However, when I go to create a validation rule for Opportunity, in the list of available merge fields, there's a field called ContactID. What does that refer to and would it be useful for my purpose?

Thanks for any help!

Hi there,

I have a custom object for which I've overridden the standard Edit button with a custom s-control that redirects to my custom Java component, then back to Salesforce. It works a treat.

However, I found today that from within the Console, if I have the object showing in a mini view on the right and click Edit from there, the override doesn't kick in! Has anyone else noticed this? To me it should work because that is still a standard Salesforce Edit button.

Any thoughts would be very helpful.


Thanks,

Glenn.

Hi there ... I'm completely confused by this.

I have two Salesforce accounts: one Dev Edition, one Enterprise Edition, both on Spring 07. I have a formula field (return type of text) on a custom object in the Dev Edition with this formula:

if ( isnull(  Order_Date__c  ) , "Y", "N" )

 

... and it works fine. But if I do exactly the same thing in my Enterprise Edition I get a syntax error: "Error: Incorrect argument type for function isnull()."

I've tried substituting other fields into the ISNULL() function and it seems that standard fields work fine, but custom fields give this error.

How could this be?

Thanks for any help.

I am not very pleased with this rollout of API 12.  This subsequently broke all of our integration applications using Java and the API, all of our Cast Iron orchestrations, and many of our s-controls.

I thought there was supposed to be reverse compatibility?

We are getting Invalid Session ID errors on everything and it is costing us a TON of money to fix these problems.

Is anyone else having these problems throughout the board?  Any suggestions on how to deal with this on a large scale?

So we can replace and redevice the logic for he standard buttons on the detail pages such as delete,
I tried, but seems to me there is no go for the Save button. Am I right?
Seems that only applies to the standard buttons, which doesn't include "Save".  So what can I do if
I want some extra logic embeded in the "Save" action? Like when the "Save" button on salesforce is pressed, I also want the record to be created or updated on our company's side.

Thanks for your input.

Is it possible to redirect to the email page, pass a SalesForce document id and have the document already attached?

Basically, we want to have an external program add documents to a users document library and then redirect to the email page with that new document already listed as an attachment.

I'm adding contacts and/or leads successfully via SOAP/PHP. I'm not quite clear on which I should choose - If I don't have any owner id, should I create it as a lead or a contact with no owner? I'm just not quite clear abut the distinction between a lead and an unowned contact and which I should use when.
I noticed some oddities - you cannot create a lead without a company name (even though it's not marked as mandatory in the WSDL), but a contact doesn't have a company field at all.
