Summer '08 release and broken Eclipse projects?

Hello  -

we are trying to create new (and even just a simple update) APEX classes and triggers in our Sandbox.  We were 'upgraded' about a week ago to Summer '08...and now we cannot connect via the Force.com IDE/Eclipse.  We can't be the only ones with this problem, yet at the same time there seems to be nothing out there for help on this.

Does anyone have any idea what might going on here?  We're on na3 if that matters at all.  This is just the latest is what is now a broken Sandbox integration with Summer '08.

Thanks.
Bryan

I cannot activate a trigger created in Eclipse

I have to write some code for a Salesforce Enterprise edition that doesn’t allow me to create/modify/drop triggers or Apex classes by using the interface.

I managed to create a trigger by using Eclipse.The Salesforce interface shows me that the trigger code is completely saved and is valid. However, I cannot activate the trigger either by using the Salesforce interface or Eclipse.

I think I miss something here. Can someone help, please?

Thank you

Excel Connector Not recognizing new install/not found

For some reason the excel connector for PE has stopped working and we desperately need some help.

First it worked great, but then it was moved. We then followed the instructions below, deleted all signs of the excel connector on the computer, restarted, re-installed the excel connecter, and did everything possible - but we can’t get the excel connector back to working.

Each time we re-install, re-add the Add-in (or replace it), and then go to re-add the sforce connector toolbar, it gives us the same error that it cannot be found and is still looking for it in the original place it was – the first time it was installed.

Is there any way to fix this?

We’ve been trying everything on the discussion board, including the instructions below from the FAQ and still cannot get it to work.

I already tried this:
Open Excel
Click Tools, Add-Ins
Uncheck the sforce_connect checkbox, click OK
Close Excel
Open Excel again, if the "sforce_connector" menu bar is still there, right click on the tool bar area of excel, uncheck the sforce Connector check box
Close Excel
Open Excel
If the bar is gone and the Add-INs list is showing the add-in as unchecked or gone then you can re-install the add-in from the new file location of the XLA, see the install instructions on the web (http://sforce.sourceforge.net/excel/index.htm)

 

Thanks so much!

Controlling number of elements displayed in a Related List

Hi
 
Is it possible to customize display settings for Related Lists in a particular Page Layout?  For e.g. I have a lookup relationship between a custom object 'SearchResults' and Contact.  In the Contact Page layout, I would like to control the number of SearchResults objects displayed.  I think it defaults to 5.  Is this possible?
 
Thanks!

Loging into a Sandbox

Hi,
 
We've developed applications that connect with salesforce.com without any problem.
 
I now have a client that needs us to work initially with a sandbox.  The URL's we would normally use do not work. 
 
e.g.  we are calling
 

https://www.salesforce.com/services/lib/ajax/beta3.3/sforceclient.js

and

https://na1.salesforce.com/js/functions.js

Then logging in with ....  sforceClient.login(user,pass);

 

How would I do the same with a sandbox account?

 

Many thanks

problem in deletion from recycle bin

 

Hi, 

 

I did receive a mail from salesforce side that my org’s storage use has exceeded the provided limit. Actually I have a small problem in my org.

 

Few days back I did upload a big file in my org but then I realized that my org’s permitted storage limit doesn’t allow me to store such huge file. So, I did delete that file from my Document and at the same time I deleted from recycle bin as well. But from setup section I came to know that still the Document is occupying a huge space though I don’t have even a single file/document in Document.

 

I am afraid if there is any other option to resolve this issue. It would be great if anybody can help me in this regard as soon as possible because currently I am not being able to use my org due to this issue.

 

Hope to hear from you guys soon.

 

Thx,

Deepak

Access to salesforce data from an external system

Hello guys,
 
I am trying to access and manipulate the salesforce data from an external system using salesforce API.
I see that  before I can access the data using api, I need to authenticate the access either by username/password or sessionid/serverurl. Potentially my application can be used by multiple organizations via salesforce.com.
1. To gain access to a client organization's data using api, do I have to collect their super-user's username/password ?
2. If I simply pass the session id and server url over the querystring to my application and use it in the
api to gain access to their data, it works in some cases but might fail if the logged-in user has limited access/permissions to the data that I need to access.
 
Am I missing something here? Is there any other way accomplish this?
 
I appreciate any help in this regard.

Connector doesn't pull down all the records

Hello,
I have a mismatch between the "Reports" feature of Salesforce, and the Excel Connector.
 
While in "Reports", I select the Account table, choose a few fields to view, and select "all visible accounts" and set my start date to 1/1/1999 with no end date.  Our company started in 2003, so that includes all Accounts.  Then I "Export Details to Excel".
Using Reports, my record count is 5322
 
When I use the Excel connector, I choose every column in the Account table, and add NO selection criteria for the query.
Using the Excel Connecor, my record count is 318. 
 
When I noticed the discrepancy, I checked a few of the account records, placed them in edit mode and saved the record.  Once I did that, the Excel Connector seemed to pull down the recently edited account when I re-ran the query, increasing my record count.  But it's a far cry from the 5000 records that the Excel Connector does NOT pull down.
 
Am I doing something wrong?  How do I pull down ALL records using the Excel connector.
