A couple of days ago I had the wierdest error. We have added some fields on Acccount and a new entity called Billing Account so that there is Contry and Country Code in both. The wierd thing was that when I opened the tab with the field, after about 1 second, the country changed to “United States” and the country code to “1”. This even happened to the custom entity.
I was confused. The country code was supposed to be according to the so and so ISO standard, where Sweden is SE. Hence 1 was very incorrect. I started looking if some tired programmer might have added some javascript or similar but found nothing out of the ordinary. Then I though I’d just like to see what happens when I run IE directly from the CRM server, and praise and behold, it didn’t change the field! That narrowed it down. First I thought it was google Toolbar, so I uninstalled it, but the error was still there. Then I tried running IE in InPrivate surfing and then it didn’t change it! So, there must be some plugin in IE that causes it. After some uninstalling and testing I found it, Swedbank has this “e-kort” or e-card program that let’s you generate a one-time VISA number, this was the program that caused this error. It is probably some program this Swedish bank has bought from some american company and it has this weird feature.
Well, that just teaches you, don’t install a lot of crap into IE. 🙂
