Email format validation in CRM
Hi,
The out of the box CRM Email field type does not validate whether the given email is ending with “.com”,”.in”,etc… (Refer below)
- rajeevpentyala@live (Its a valid email format as per out of the box CRM Email Type validation)
We can validate all the metrics of Email format by using below steps.
Step 1:-
- Create a new “Field” (i.e.,new_emailaddress1) of type nvarchar(100)
- Since the field is normal field, we have to format the field to look like “Email”
- Place below script in form ‘onload’ event
var emailTextBox = crmForm.all.new_emailaddress1;
//Set the field style similar to ‘Email’ (i.e., Blue forecolor and Underline)
emailTextBox.style.color = “#0000ff”;
emailTextBox.style.textDecoration = “underline”;//Attach ‘on double click’ event
emailTextBox.attachEvent(“ondblclick”, openEmail);
function openEmail() { if (emailTextBox.DataValue != null) document.location = “mailto:” + emailTextBox.DataValue; }
Step 2 (Email Validation) :-
- We can validate email format either in form’s ‘onsave’ event (or) field’s ‘onchange’ event
- Register below function as per your requirement (i.e.,Either in ‘onsave’ or ‘onchange’)
function ValidateEmail() {
var emailID = crmForm.all.emailaddress1.DataValue;if ((emailID.indexOf(“@”) > 0 && (emailID.lastIndexOf(“@”) != (emailID.length – 1))) || (1 == 1)) {
if (emailID.search(/^\w+((-\w+)|(\.\w+))*\@[A-Za-z0-9]+((\.|-)[A-Za-z0-9]+)*\.[A-Za-z0-9]+$/) != -1) {
}
else {
alert(“You must enter a valid e-mail address.”);
crmForm.all.emailaddress1.SetFocus();
event.returnValue = false;
}
}
}
Hope it helps 🙂
Set field values using query string parameters on Form load in CRM
Hi,
I have got below requirement,
- I need to open a CRM form from my custom ‘.aspx’ page.
- On opening of the form I should populate “name” field with value
After referring MSDN article, I came to know that we can set the field values using “extraqs” query string parameter and it must meet below requirements.
- You must encode the parameters passed in the extraqs parameter. Use encodeURIComponent to encode the parameters.
- The names of the query string arguments must match or include the names of attributes for the entity.
- The value cannot be a script (To prevent script injection)
Below is the sample JScript to open a form and populate “name” field on form load
function openform() {
var encodedString = encodeURIComponent(“new_name=rajeev pentyala”);
window.open(“http://ServerName/OrgName/main.aspx?etc=10014&extraqs=” + encodedString + “&pagetype=entityrecord”);
}
- Here “new_name” is the name of attribute
You get the CRM form as below, when you call the above function
extraqs query parameter
Please refer below useful MSDN articles

How to change CRM form field’s label text and color using Jscript
Hi,
Below is the sample JScript to change the color and text of CRM form field’s label; Place the code in JScript “onload” event
// To change color
if(crmForm.all.new_fieldname != null) {
var field = crmForm.all.new_fieldname_c; //”_c” is the caption (i.e.,Label)

Issues while installing CRM 4.0 on Windows Server 2008 R2
While installing CRM 4.0 on Windows Server 2008 R2 server we will get errors mentioned in above screen
Reason:-
- This is because CRM 4.0 requires the old “Indexing Service (CISVC)” , which was part of Windows Server 2003
Fix:-
To fix this, we need to enable the Windows Server 2003 indexing service (cisvc) on current Windows Server 2008 machine within File Server Role. (Follow below steps)
- Open “Server Manager”
- Click on “Roles” link
- Go to “File Server Role” tab and click on “Add Roles” link
- Check “Indexing Service” under “Windows Server 2003 File Services”
2) To fix the “Service msftesql was not found”
Reason: –
- This error comes from conflict between installing Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 with SQL Server 2008.
- The “msftesql” is the “Microsoft SQL Server Full Text Indexing Service” which has a different name under SQL Server 2008
Fix:-
- Open “Registry” (Go to Run -> Regedit)
- Navigate to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services” on the tree
- Rename ‘MSSQLFDLauncher’ Folder to ‘msftesql’
- Restart the server
- Go to “Services” (Run -> Services.msc)
- Start the “SQL Full-text Filter Daemon Launcher (MSSQLSERVER)” service
- Complete the CRM installation
- Rename back msftesql Folder to MSSQLFDLauncher (Follow step 1 – 3)
3) To fix the “Index was outside the bounds of the array”
- Configure “User Account” which you have given while installing CRM as service account for Report Server and Analysis server
- Instead of above step, You can even give “Network Service Account” as service account while installation
