Incredibly powerful CRM. It's amazing how you can create complex objects with table joins, lookups, etc., play around with the UI, etc., and their servers are FAST. That said, it took me six hours to figure out how to import a CSV, figure out that if you mark a field as currency, it still won't parse $ and , and that you want to map your CSV header columns exactly to object fields because otherwise you have to manually map them, and because you'll be trying the import, like 50 times before you get it right, it's a big time saver not to have to manually map them every time! Whew. And all this pro bono for a non-profit that asked me to help them out. Marc

Sorry, but if a non-profit organisation can afford salesforce, then they can afford to pay you to fix it for them. When a sweet smile means "I can pay the big guys, but you can go f*** yourself", modify it with a bunch of fives.

One can wonder why a non-profit needs "SalesForce" software. That's an expensive sauce. The above statement is "innuendo free" ... in the mind of its author. cheers, Bill
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Ah, but think the of the warm fuzzy feelings you will have from helping out. Seriously though, it shows good form IMHO, helping others out, when needed. :thumbsup:
