Microsoft gives a new name "Dynamics CRM 2011" which was earlier code named as CRM 5.

Look up - web page dialog error message appears when you Add an existing entity to a another entity. This error is due to more than 18 columns being displayed in the lookup view. To fix this error the number of columns in the lookup view needs to be reduced to 18.

All the look up pages shows the generic error message and does not show up the look pages. This is because the users do not have access to the folder " \Microsoft CRM\Server". This folder requires Read/Execute/List permission to be given for the users.  After thse permissions are given, all the lookup pages worked fine.

If the mails sent from MSCRM needs to be visible in the sent items folder in the OUTLOOK, then outgoing email access type should be set to "Microsoft dynamics crm for Outlook". Only in this case the sent emails from MSCRM will be visible in the sentitems folder in the Outlook.
