Some months ago a customer asked us if it was possible to prevent users from selecting a Saturday or Sunday in a date field. Here is a simple function you can use to call the selected day of the week. You can customize it to suit your own wishes. Please remember that Sunday is 0 and Saturday is 6.
Happy Easter!
function weekday () {
//Script to show which weekday the selected date is.
//Sunday = 0, Saturday = 6
//Script to be called during Onchange event
/* CRM 3.0 & 4.0 */ selectedDate = crmForm.all.estimatedclosedate.DataValue;
/* CRM 2011 */ selectedDate = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("estimatedclosedate");
var weekday = selectedDate.getDay();
var dayNames = new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday");
alert("You have selected a " + dayNames[weekday]);
}

Having to study for my MB2-631 Microsoft Dynamics™ CRM 4.0 Customization and Configuration exam a couple of weeks ago, the tabs subject also came by. Of course you all know that the maximum amount of tabs in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 is 8 (out-of-the-box).
I was wondering how many tabs are allowed on the form in CRM 2011. Well, it’s one hundred. Just so you know. Happy scrolling!

For a CRM 4.0 implementation at one of our clients we had to create a lot of custom entities. Since we wanted to improve the usability for the users, we decided to customize the sitemap. With the help of the SDK SiteMap Overview (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc150833.aspx) and the related subjects, a nice layout was constructed.
However the sitemap did not work… 
Having checked the XML over and over again, and even asking a Microsoft consultant for advice (who happened to be in the same room) I was lost.
It turned out that the “ShowGroups” attribute needed to be set in the Area Element. It is described in the SDK (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc150877.aspx), but we totally forgot.
So when customizing the Sitemap, remember to set the ShowGroups to ‘true’, it can save you a lot of frustrations.
