Is there any way to rename a standard field? For example if I wanted to give the Activity Task field "Subject" a different name. Previous forum question seem to talk about changing the tab names via "Tab Names and Labels" but that's not what I'm looking for.

It doesn't seem like there is any way to edit the name of an Opportunity Stage once it is created. Am I missing something? Is there a way to do it?

 

I am trying to create a report that will allow me to produce a chart with vertical bars that have 2 vertical columns together for each grouping. The report would be based on Activities. One column would be for number of actual Meetings and the other would be for the Meetings quota. According to the Salesforce Winter 10 release notes, this can be done using Combination Charts. It says "You can also combine certain chart types to present data in different ways in a single chart. For example, add quota to closed business, add quantity to closed amount, add lead count to campaign cost."
I have no problem getting vertical bars that show one column with actual Meetings but I'm having trouble figuring out how to add the second column next to it for Meetings quota. 

 

I temporarily deactivated an Approval Process because I need to remove some of the Approval Steps. I still don't see any options for removing them. I see remove links for Initial Submission Actions, Final Approval Actions , Final Rejection Actions but not in the Approval Steps section. What gives?

Is there any way to do a 4 column Dashboard layout (instead of 3) and if so can someone point me in the right direction on how to do it?  

Why can't I edit an Opportunity Stage Name after I've created it? I can edit all of the other Stage properties (Type, Probability, etc) but not Stage Name.

I am trying to create a formula field with a Case statement that has 2 other number fields added together for it's parameter. It looks like this:

 

CASE ((Custom_Number Field_1__c +  Custom_Number Field_2__c), >=100, "Value is Greater than 100", >=50, "Value is Greater than 50",  >=1, "Value is Greater than 1")

 

I keep trying to alter the syntax slightly, but no matter what I get one of 2 error messages:

Error: Incorrect number of parameters for function 'CASE()'. Expected 6, received 7

or

Error: Syntax error. Found '>='

 

What am I doing wrong? Is it even possible to do a Case statement like this or do I have to switch to an IF?

 

Is there a way to change a field type based on it's value? I have a roll-up field that sums Opportunity Quantities but if no Opportunity Products have been entered and therefore the sum is 0 my client would like the field to temporarily be a number field where they can manually enter numbers.

 

I am trying to make a Roll-Up field under the Accounts tab that sum a Opportunity Products field, but I only see an option for Opportunity fields. An example of what I'd like to is show a Roll-Up field that shows the total number of widgets sold (Opportunity Products - Quantity ) that fall under a certain catergory ( Opportunity Products - Opportunity Product Category (custom field)). How can I do this?

 

I deleted 2 roll-ups fields under the Accounts object because I was at my limit of 10 and I needed to repurpose them (I'm doing this in my Sandbox if it matters). It's been about 24 hours but when I try to add new roll-ups under Accounts I am still getting the message: 

Custom Roll-up Summary Field Limit Exceeded
Unable to create custom roll-up summary field because it exceeds the maximum allowed: 10. 
Does anyone know how long it takes to recover roll-up fields once deleted? I made sure to empty my Recycle Bin in case they were in there an it was affecting things.

 

I am trying to trigger a workflow when I create a Campaign Member. In the Salesforce help files, it says that this can be done whenever a new lead is created from your website using the web to lead. I am not creating leads and campaign members through web to lead though, I am doing it through .NET and the Force API. Can anyone recommend a good approach for triggering a workflow off a Campaign Member in my scenario?

I am trying to follow the tutorial Force.com for ASP.NET Developers posten on the WIki at: http://wiki.apexdevnet.com/index.php/Force.com_for_ASP.NET_Developers. I get stuck in trying to create the first VisualForce page, and I suspect there's a preceding step missing that I have not done.

 

When I enter the code, I am supposed to get challenged 3 times to createan Apex class and 2 Apex methods. I never get this message: Create Apex method 'leadLookupController1.getSearchString' -- instead I get a message Error: Unknown property 'searchString'.

 

 <apex:page controller="leadLookupController">
<apex:form>
<apex:pageBlock title="Lead Search">
<apex:outputLabel value="Email" />:
<apex:inputText value="{!searchString}" />
<apex:facet name="footer">
<apex:outputPanel>
<apex:commandButton action="{!step2}" value="Search" />
</apex:outputPanel>
</apex:facet>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

 

Thanks in advance for your assistence.

Is there a way to use Custom Labels in a Custom Object?
