MS CRM XML-Generator for Picklist-values
Using this nifty little tool enables you to generate the needed XML-Code for creating picklist values. Although the browser-based customizing tools of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are very elegant, it still takes time to create the needed values, because it has to be done one at a time. Caution: Only use this tool, if you are really comfortable with manually editing exported XML-Customization Files! Use it at your own risk.

Mobile Express and Blackberry
After implementing Mobile Express in our Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 environment, we found that some users with Blackberry smartphones could not open the Mobile Express site. We knew it was not a bug with Mobile Express, as these same phones could successfully launch Mobile Express in some of our client’s environments, just not ours.
Through the process of elimination, we found that the issue was Blackberry Browser related. The Blackberry actually has two browsers—the Blackberry Browser and the Internet Browser. When you launch the web browser on the Blackberry, if you go to options, General Options, you will see a dropdown for Browser. The default setting is Blackberry Browser, but you can change that setting to Internet Browser. The issue we found was that the Blackberry browser does not correctly interpret security certificates from some providers—that explained why these phones could correctly load the Mobile Express site from some environments but not from others.
