    Good to hear that!

    one more question. where it stores the xml?

    and what if Microsoft update to a new version?

    i am concerned of having the system stopped with errors of incompatibility.

    regards,

    David

    Don't worry it.

    The xml will be synchronized and updated into the CRM and no incompatibility errors have been encountered yet due to system updates.

    The dynamics forum is always there to help you!:)
