Activity Reminder: 183.76875 Days

Hi All,

 

Has anyone else had the issue where the alarm reverts to 183.76875 days? We are having this issue randomly with one user when the user is added as a member to a meeting. It appears all other users added as members are fine...

 

SalesLogix LAN v.7.5.3

No integration with Outlook (Intelli-Sync / Exchange Link)

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Happens in ALL 7.5.x.yyyy implementations - Usually involves recurring activities - (which need to be redesigned to be individual "linked" activities).

Re: Activity Reminder: 183.76875 Days BUG!

Actually this is a confirmed BAD FAD bug......SLX Activities object, vbScripts, Application.BasicFunctions, and sData Business Rules on the web don't set ALL non referenced\non populated  fields to Null.....

 

Brand New Activities created in 7.5.4 with NO recurring, no Rollovers, no Reminders, TIMELESS with no alarm set all have strange Activity Reminder times!

 

Here's the Error!

 

When you do a:

    Set objActivity = Application.Activities.Add(atToDo,Application.BasicFunctions.CurrentUserID)

    objActivity.Save

 

SalesLogix does NOT set non-referenced fields to NULL!

 

Now we know one reason why blank ContactID's, OpportunityID's, etc. appear in the Activity and History tables....instead of NULL!

 

The Reminder Time should be set to the Scheduled Time. It's not, that's a BUG.
