But the kind of ice cream varies so, every night, after we've eaten, the whole family votes on which kind of ice cream we should have and I drive down to the store to get it.  It's also a fact that I recently purchased a new Pontiac and since then my trips to the store have created a problem. You see, every time I buy  vanilla ice cream, when I start back from the store my car won't start. If I get any other kind of ice cream, the car starts just fine.  I want you to know I'm serious about this question, no matter how silly it sounds: 'What is there about a Pontiac that makes it not start when I get vanilla ice crea...

If for some sane reasons if fetchxml needs to be converted to a SQL Query in MSCRM 4.0, it is possible. It actually requires the below DLL's which are avilable in the folder Server\setup Microsoft.Crm.dll, Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Server.dll and Microsoft.Crm.Reporting.dll The code looks as below : Microsoft.Crm.BusinessEntities.ExecutionContext myContext = new Microsoft.Crm.BusinessEntities. ExecutionContext (OrganizationId from the context); myContext.OnBeginRequest(UserId, false); Microsoft.Crm.Reporting.ReportQueryBuilder myreportQueryBuilderObj = new ReportQueryBuilder(); string Query = myreportQueryBuilderObj.BuildReportQuery(fetchXml, myContext); The query will be returned as string. The Query is not readable but it works, -:)

If the URL for adavnced find page misses Organization name in the URL .i.e, if the URL is without the organization name, then the Look For dropdown which lists all entities does not list the custom entities with in that organization.

If URL is included, then the lookfor dropdown shows all the entities inlcuding the custom entities in that organization. This bugged me for a while today.
