    Hi,

    I'm just looking for some insight into maybe the causes of some of the issues I've been experiencing with the CRM outlook client.

    The issues themselves are;

    - This isn't necessarily an issue, however I don't like the look of it & I have an underlying feeling that it may be this causing some issues we're experiencing. From a browser when I navigate to Help > About, the About CRM dialog appears & states the version number for CRM 2011 we are running & then beneath it rather than display the version of the CRM client I am running, it's displaying a CRM 4.0 outlook client version instead. It also displays this CRM 4.0 outlook client on a machine without the client installed, so I'm wondering, am I supposed to be updating this client on the server as well?

    - Another one which has just been brought to my attention, through the outlook client, if we create a new Incident/case & go to select a contact through the lookup & subsequently click the New button, nothing happens. It looks like a bug in the add-in, just wondering if anybody else has experienced this. I haven't yet checked this one out in tracing, just about to, will update when I have done so.

    There the 2 main ones, other than the usual, causing outlook to crash/run slow etc. But we have support calls raised with MS for this, they've been unable to establish what's happening there either, but it is being looked at.

    Thanks,

    James
