Adding an email link to a datagrid in Infor CRM SLX for Windows can be a useful feature to allow users to quickly send emails to a specific recipient without having to manually enter the email address. In this article, I will outline how to create an email link in a datagrid using VBScript in Infor CRM SLX for Windows.

This article outlines an issue with using calculated fields to construct the Infor CRM LAN client hyperlink string due to issues using forward slashes in calculated fields.

This was an oldie but a goodie that I originally wrote for slxdeveloper.com way, way back in 2005! While most of my work is geared towards developing in the web client now, every once in a while I have to dust of the VBScript brain cells and remember out how to do these things. In Infor CRM LAN VB...

The Lead conversion to a contact will fail if you are not filling in the entire address for the lead. There won't be any message telling the user that the address is insufficient just a failure

If you work on SalesLogix across a number of remote desktop connections and a number of different workstations as I do, you may occasionally run into an issue where the Properties or Toolbox windows cannot be made visible. This happens when you first start a Remote session from a machine with a greater screen resolution, move one of those windows to the far right of the screen, then start a Remote session on a machine with a smaller resolution. You can then end up in a situation where the propertes and/or toolbars views are technically "visible" but are in a position outside of the current screen resolution.

The Quick Find functionality in the SalesLogix web client is a fast and easy way to look up information from many different areas in SalesLogix, but did you know you could modify the layout of the various lookups displayed in that interface? The functionality is a little hard to find if you don't know where to look, but this post will explain how you can modify the Quick Find lookups.

In this post I'll outline some of the functionality available to you in the Standard Ticket Activity support script for SalesLogix LAN. As with the other built in SalesLogix scripts, access to this functionality allows you the ability to control the various processes regarding ticket activities. Most of these functions and methods deal with populating the activity and history tables.

The SLX_Common script included in SalesLogix contains a number of simple, yet useful, functions that you can use within your own functionality to save yourself some time by not having to reinvent the wheel each time you need some simple functionality.

In a recent project, I used triggers to enforce some data rules in the Ticket area of SalesLogix. We did this because our client was using both the LAN as well as the Web clients. We were having some difficulty seeing changes in the LAN client when values were set in the Web, and vice-versa.

Back in January, I posted about the SalesLogix picklist data structure, and outlined how to use the data found in the picklist table to populate other controls such as comboboxes and listboxes. You can find that article here.) If you are performing customizations to version 7.2 or later of SalesLogx, this processes can be greatly simplified by using Application.Picklist instead of directly querying the database.
