    1. Below is the walkthrough instructions to getting the .wsdl info from crm.
      2 problems, first the web portion of the walk through doesn't work because customizations doesn't have any option to download the .wsdl files.

      Second, when I use the outlook crm tool, and I click on the icon to download the .wsdl.  Nothing happens, nada nothing nada.

      Where is a good place to find current support for CRM online?
      Why don't the walk throughs work?



      Open a Web browser and enter the URL for the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online portal. For example: 

      http://crm.dynamics.com
    2. Click the Log In Here button, enter your Windows Live account logon information, and then click Sign in.
    3. In the Navigation pane click Settings.
    4. In the Settings pane click Customization.
    5. In the Customization area, click Download Web Service Description Files.
    6. Click the CrmService.asmx icon.
    7. When the Web browser displays the WSDL, save the XML to a file on your hard disk. The procedure for saving the file will be different depending on the Web browser that you are using. In Internet Explorer 7, click the Page menu, and then click Save.
    8. Click the CrmDiscoveryService.asmx icon.
    9. Download the WSDL as you did before in step 7. If you see a CrmDiscoveryService Web page instead of WSDL, click the Service Description link to obtain the WSDL.
    10. Close the Web browser window that contains the WSDL definitions and sign out of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online.

    ok found out how to save the wsdl file.

    I clicked on it, took the url to google browser. Right clicked on the google browser and hit save.

    Even though I have saved the wsdl file, there doesn't appear to be a damn thing I can do with it.

    When I try to add (old style) web reference I get many message box errors that com up notifying of secure location.

    Starting CRM integration seems to be a steep learning curve.

    I would assume there will be a way to stream line adding a webreference to my program at some future point?

    I see, it just says copy not add as a reference.

    Well painfully in my opin the walk through first part is complete.

    Agreed, some of the code samples are out of date and needs updating.  Please let the writer know via the feedback link (if available) on the article or sample.
