Override Lead Conversion

I am trying to override convert button on lead. One of the main reasons is to automatically associated the opportunity to an account which is already associated with lead instead of manually selecting an account during conversion. We also need to set a pre-determined opportunity owner from lead details, instead of the defaulting to lead owner. Can some one please guide me with some suggestions on where to start.  Thanks to all.

Approval process - Communication

I am not sure if answer to my question below is pretty simple and not getting in to my head...

Salesforce allows to use only one communication template for all steps in an approval process. Is there a way to use different templates for different stages.  Basically we wanted to send an email alert to user with whom action is pending next in case of rejection or approval in current level. Right now same email is sent for all events. Please let me know of there is any issue with out setup.

Thanks in anticipation,

case attachment

New to Apex and I wrote an apex class for email to case based on some sample code. Everything works fine but does not work when there  is an attachment in the mail. Here is my code. I believe I am making some small mistake with this. Can some one guide me through please. 

Code:
global class CreateSupportCase implements Messaging.InboundEmailHandler {
 
  global Messaging.InboundEmailResult handleInboundEmail(Messaging.inboundEmail email, 
                                                       Messaging.InboundEnvelope env){
 
  // Create an inboundEmailResult object for returning the result of the Apex Email Service
    Messaging.InboundEmailResult result = new Messaging.InboundEmailResult();
 

  String myPlainText= '';
  
  // Add the email plain text into the local variable 
 
  myPlainText = email.plainTextBody;
 
  // New Case object to be created
  
  Case[] newCase = new Case[0];
 
  // Try to lookup any contacts based on the email from address
  // If there is more than 1 contact with the same email address,
  // an exception will be thrown and the catch statement will be called.
  try {
  Contact vCon = [Select Id, Name, Email
    From Contact
    Where Email = :email.fromAddress
    Limit 1];
  
  // Add a new Case to the contact record we just found above.
  newCase.add(new Case(Description =  myPlainText,
       Priority = 'Normal',
       Status = 'New',
       Subject = email.subject,
       Origin = 'Email',
       SuppliedEmail =  email.fromAddress,
       contact= vCon));
 
 // for email attachments
 
 if (email.binaryAttachments!=null && email.binaryAttachments.size() > 0) {
             for (integer i = 0 ; i < email.binaryAttachments.size() ; i++) {
 
 System.debug('Binary Attachments - filename: ' + email.binaryAttachments[i].filename);
 System.debug('Binary Attachments - size: ' +   email.binaryAttachments[i].mimeTypeSubType);
            
             Attachment a = new Attachment(ParentId = newCase[0].Id,
                                           Name = email.binaryAttachments[i].filename,
                                           Body = email.binaryAttachments[i].body);
             insert a;
             }
    }
 
 
 
 // Insert a new Case 
 insert newCase;
  
 
 System.debug('New Case Object: ' + newCase );
 
  }
  // If an exception occurs when the query accesses 
  // the contact record, a QueryException is called.
  // The exception is written to the Apex debug log.

 catch (QueryException e) {
  System.debug('Query Issue: ' + e);
 }
 
 // Set the result to true. No need to send an email back to the user 
 // with an error message
 
    result.success = true;
 
 // Return the result for the Apex Email Service
    return result;
 
  }
 }

 
Thanks in advance

update a Lead field with Product data

I am writing my first apex trigger and need your help please.

Trying to set a flag on lead record by checking if Lead.SP_Model_Number__c belongs to certain family by looking into the product2 table. 

Picked up an example from cookbook and started working on it. But there is no direct relation ship between Lead and the Product2 table except SP_Model_Number__c is  a look-up field on Lead looking up Product2.Model_Number__c.

Kind of stuck and am unable to go anywhere from here. Would appreciate any kind of help. Please find my code below

Code:
trigger validateProductFamily on Lead (before update, before insert){

 Set<String> Names = new Set<String>();

        
    for (Lead lead : Trigger.new) 
 Names.add(lead.SP_Model_Number__c);   

         Map<String, Lead> stmodel = new Map<String, Lead>(
   [SELECT SP_Model_Number__c FROM Lead WHERE SP_Model_Number__c in :Names]);

        
     for (Lead lead : Trigger.new)
    lead.textest__c = stmodel.get(lead.SP_Model_Number__c).product2.Product_Family;    
}

Preventing Duplicate Leads

I'm trying to see if I can utilize the cookbook code for the apex trigger on preventing lead duplicates, but have encountered a serious roadblock - if someone submits a web to lead form that is a duplicate and references it in our database, it completely prevents creation of that lead.

For example:

unique lead in database has email of random@google.com

same person with different company submits another web to lead form, with random@google.com - this lead is never created, and we miss out on it.

Any possible workarounds to this? Is there a way to only trigger when a user manually creates a new lead?

Error when sending email from Visual Force page

Hi there.
I was wondering could anyone help me out.
Im trying to send an email when a visualforce page is loaded.
I have changed the email addresses for the purpose of this post.
 
Basically I have a simple visualforce page which consists of:
 
<apex:page controller="EmailCardListController" action="sendMail" title="Email Card List">
   <apex:outputText value="{!emailSent}" />
</apex:page>
 
and a relatively simple controller that sends an email (taken pretty much from the Apex pdf guide)
 
public class EmailCardListController {
    //Did the email send successfully?
    public Boolean emailSent { get; set; }
    //Create the email handler;
    public Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mailHandler = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
   
    //The recipient
    String[] emailRecipient = new String[] {'jbloggs@acme.com'};
    public void sendMail() {
   
        //set the recipient
        mailHandler.setToAddresses(emailRecipient);
       
        //set the reply email address
        mailHandler.setReplyTo('jbloggs@acme.com');
       
        //set the display name
        mailHandler.setSenderDisplayName('Keith Nixon');
       
        //set the subject
        mailHandler.setSubject('Card List');
       
        //set the template ID

strange error: 'sforce_connect1.xls' could not be found.

I got great advice from a recent post, so maybe someone can help me with a sporadic message I receive, usually when opening a new Excel sheet after successfully running some queries (both insert and update).

The message is:

'sforce_connect1.xls' could not be found.  Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct.  If you are tyring to open the file from your list of most recently used files on the File menu, make sure that the file has not been renamed, moved, or deleted.

Of course, I have never opened or created a file named sforce_connect nor sforce_connect1.

I am running sforce version 5.51, Excel 2003 (SP1) and have gotten this message both on Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP Professional (SP 2)

I have tried logging out (same error message), and it seems to trap me in an endless loop of error messages.

Any and all help greatly appreciated!
