Nov. 18, 2009 — I’ve had a library of Dynamics CRM certification practice tests for some time, but somehow never found time to write explanations for the answers. Here’s my first go at it, with a lot more coming soon to registered users!

* For SharePoint 2007 and Dynamics CRM, anyway

As I’ve said more than a few times, SharePoint 2007 and Dynamics CRM have some interesting similarities and just as many important differences. Both have emerged as strategically important application development platforms, and I recommend a “right tool for the job” mindset when you’re trying to decide which [...]

Since I first posted some practice test content for the CRM 4 certification exams, I’ve been hard at work writing more questions, and QA’ing the existing ones.
Here are links to the demo versions of the most recent practice tests for the three core Dynamics CRM 4.0 exams. I call them demos since they have fewer questions [...]

April 12, 2010 – Thanks to CoreMotives (more on that in a separate article) I recently realized what a large percentage of Trick Bag visitors come from outside the US. Here’s a Trick Bag article with an “international” theme, about Dynamics CRM 4.0 (On-Premise) multi-lingual support. la bienvenida a las trickbag!

Recently I’ve been authoring practice test questions for the three core CRM 4 certification exams. I’ve got LOTS of other articles on the exams and how to prepare for them in the certification category; in this post I wanted to focus on the practice tests only, so they aren’t buried somewhere deep in a post.

Back in the old good days, Microsoft Learning used to have some practice tests for the Dynamics CRM 4.0 certification exams. For a long time they were a staple of the CRM 4.0 training & certification bootcamps I ran for Microsoft: at the end of one of the classes I’d walk through them, ask the students [...]

I’ve written elsewhere that Dynamics CRM 4.0 Applications is the hardest of the three core Microsoft Certification exams. Here’s a detailed article I wrote about that particular exam, which I liked so much I took it twice, one week right after the next!
 Anyway, here’s my favorite non-Richard blog [...]

Here’s a trick you can use to make a “redirect” page — that is, a page whose only purpose is to send somebody to another page. This is a handy trick in many situations. I recently ran into a requirement for it when I wanted to push out a Twitter tweet with a link to [...]

For anybody familiar with DCRMUG, this won’t come as a surprise: I need some help!
 
My intentions are good, I’m committed, my energy level is high…but I’m full-time on a consulting gig and just don’t have enough time.
Anyway, I’m looking for what we used to call a “web master” for DCRMUG. I think with about 5 hours [...]

For about the last month I’ve been working fulltime on an enormous MOSS 2007 rollout for a big Chicago-based enterprise. For the couple of years before that I’d been almost 100% on Dynamics CRM. Which goes some of the way to explaining my recent posting paucity, but that’s beside the point.
In any case, since my [...]
