If you have recently installed other Outlook client Add-ins, they may be interfering with the Dynamics CRM for Outlook Add-ins. Are there other Outlook client ‘Add-ins’ running that are not related to Dynamics CRM?.If the CRM Outlook Client is not at the same version as Dynamics CRM, try upgrading the Outlook Client to the current version. Upgrades to CRM Online do not automatically upgrade the CRM Outlook client and individual users may not even be aware that Dynamics CRM has been upgraded (depending on the extent of changes in the application). If you are using Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online, as you know, upgrades/updates occur based on schedules that Microsoft sets (though you can ask to postpone for a certain amount of time). What version is your CRM Outlook Client?.Open the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Diagnostics window, click the ‘Advanced Troubleshooting’ tab, and ‘Delete’ temporary files, and also ‘Enable’ the Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook Add-In. An update may have also inadvertently disabled Outlook add-ins that are required for the CRM Outlook client functionality. Updates to your Outlook application as well as to your browser can sometimes effect the functionality of how data is displayed, as well as JavaScript that might be running. Have there been any recent updates applied ‘automatically’ by the Windows update service?.For example: If you are receiving an error when opening an opportunity through the CRM Outlook client, go to that same opportunity through the CRM browser client and determine if the same error occurs. Navigate to the area in the browser client of CRM to determine if the same error, or error notification occurs. Does the issue occur in the Dynamics CRM browser client?.Here are a few things to check to get a clearer picture of the extent of the issue you may be experiencing.
