  I take it you upgraded from MSCRM 3.0 to 4.0? If so are you using the same date format on both machines? (i.e. dd/mm/yyyy) vs (mm/dd/yyyy) ?
  
  * Does this occur of any form or specific forms.
  * Is there any customization (js) which might be causing these issues?

  First, Thanks

   

  No, I didn't  upgrade from 3 to 4 , it's the last installation of Version 4.0 Enterprise Edition.
  Do you think that is a date time format issue ? Maybe it's related to the SQL Machine

   

  * Does this occur of any form or specific forms.
  we sow it only on Costume Entities

  
  * Is there any customization (js) which might be causing these issues?
  no

   

  Thank for helping

  Hi,
  
  I've experienced somewhat similar problems in the client side when writing code for MSCRM which takes dd/mm/yyyy as a SQL data format and then deploying to a machine which accepts mm/dd/yyyy. I've also experienced an issue with date fields when trying to set a fields value through JS... it breaks the form.
  
  * Can you replicate this? i.e. is this an intermittent error or will it occur each time for the same record?
  
  I have next to no experience with the Enterprise version of MSCRM though I could imagine if different data formats are used from one company to the next you could be experiencing problems.
  
  See if you can edit on a record with a day value < 12, i.e. 11/12/2008 and then see if the same problem occurs if you can a date with day value > 12 or 14/12/2008.
  
  Cheers,

  Now I have more details:

  We getting this exception jest in that cases:
  All Entities (Custom or not ) with date time (Jest Date Data) attributes
  AND
  The  value of the date is DAY value  <>  MONTH value  (NOT equal) All cases of date and month that equal like 1/1/yyyy , 2/2/yyyy …  there will not be exception and the form will be loaded jest fine.

  To make the problem more complicate, I will add the amazing fact that in Browser IE version 7 , this problem not accrued what so ever at all … Please don't respond that all clients should have  IE 7 installed – because most of our clients (Intranet) have IE 6 , and I can't change it.

  All kind of help or any direction to a solution will be great !!!

  Thanks

  Hi,

  The solution for my problem, is not about a date format , but it was an issue of limitation of Internet Explorer that limits the number of simultaneous downloads to two downloads, plus one queued download – probably a crm form goes with AJAX to do something with date fields, and that limitation was stop it from working currect.

   

  My solution was to increase that amount by using this :

  How to configure Internet Explorer to have more than two download sessions

   

  I'm sure everyone who developing WEB apps will find this article very interesting.
