Hello all,
Never had the need to use offline with CRM/Outlook (June 2003 ver), but
now the need has arrived. I'm not 100% sure if it ever worked, but here is
what is going on:

I hit offline, and it begins to synch. So far so good. No errors and
seems to properly download (as in if I synch again a minute later its much
faster as it doesn't have much more to d/l).

Now if I click on one of the folders under the "Microsoft CRM" folder I get
this error:

An error has occured. For more information, contact your systme
administrator.

Then if I click on another folder, it will make outlook hang (and takes up
99% of the cpu), so I have to kill it.

I've checked my event logs, and there is nothing. I checked the SQL box, and
no errors there. I checked the SQL replication monitor and don't see any
errors there (I could be wrong though, what should I check to verify this?
as I had to move the CRM database to a new partion a while back).

Everything else works with CRM for Outlook, just not the offline feature. I
even tried to uninstall and reinstall, but get the same results. So I'm
thinking its a SQL replication issue? How can I check this? and better yet,
how can I go about fixing this?

p.s. can anyone else access CustomerSource Techknowledge?

thanks,
Gary

hmmm, this can't be good........I was browsing the IG about replication, and
going over some steps, and I noticed that I don't have this Replication
Publication:

MSCRMmergepublication

Is this right? Where did it go? How can I get it back?

I've tried that, but the first couple errors said that the replications
already exist, followed by loads of other errors..........

is it safe to delete the replications, and then run this again?

also, even if you replications exist (working or not), is this command
harmful or should it even give errors?

Gary,

You should be able to drop the existing replications and then run this to
recreate them. I'm pretty sure all this is doing is redinfing the
replications, so it should not cause any damage.

Yes, I know from painful experience that you can disable
replication and then re-enable it. (Many times, in fact!
;-) Sorry I don't have the link but there are two or
three TK's about it on PartnerSource.

(BTW, if you created your production DB by running
numerous Scribe-like imports, then I definitely advise
disabling and re-enabling publication. When you import
using Scribe, every update will write a new record in the
replication db, making sync times horrible.)

Good luck,
Dave

how exactly do you disable replicatons? do I just delete them?

how do I renable them? do I just run that sql stored procedure?

thanks,
Gary
