I just downloaded Apex Explorer and was able to log in using my production user name and password but for some reason my sandbox user name and password do not work.  I am able to log in to my sandbox via Salesforce site.

 

Any ideas why I am not able to log in?

 

Any help with this highly appreciated.

I have a custom object Deal__c and a standard object Contact.  The I created a custom lookup field Contact in the Deal__c object (related to Contact object).  Then I went to Deal__c page layout and added Contact to Selected Relationship Fields.

 

At this point I would like to display all contacts that are related to a particular Deal.

 

<apex:page standardController="Deal__c">
   <apex:pageBlock title="Hello {!$User.FirstName}!">
      You are viewing the {!Deal__c.name} deal.
   </apex:pageBlock>
   <apex:pageBlock title="Contacts">
      <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!Deal__c.Contact}" var="contact">
         <apex:column value="{!contact.Name}"/>
         <apex:column value="{!contact.MailingCity}"/>
         <apex:column value="{!contact.Phone}"/>
      </apex:pageBlockTable>
   </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>

 

As a result I get an error message: 

Error: Invalid field Contact for SObject Deal__c

 

If I change {!Deal__c.Contact} to {!Deal__c.Contact__c} then I get a different error message: 

Error: Unknown property 'String.Name'

 

Where am I going wrong here?

 

Appreciate any suggestions

 

What are some of the pros/cons of using Visualforce pages vs using Custom Objects to create pages?

 

For example, one of the advantages of Visualforce pages is that you can have Rich text fields.

I would like to add custom text fields that allow for rich text.  I do not see this option in the New Custom Field form.

 

Appreciate any help with this.

Hi,

 

Does anyone know why file that have over a certain number of characters in the name (76 seems to be the magic number of characters) do not get successfully attached in our salesforce application?

 

Is there a know limitation to how long a file name can be?  Any other suggestions?
