Date field lookup cut off in IE8

by Phil Adams 29. April 2010 12:25

This seemed strange to me, as I knew that I had used right hand date fields in CRM 4 previously, and it had worked.  I tested on another machine, this time with IE 7, and the calendar lookup was not cut off.

IE 7    IE 8

Internet Explorer 7                                          Internet Explorer 8

Turns out that it’s not really a bug in CRM, but rather a side effect from some changes in Internet Explorer 8.  The CRM team worked with the IE team and came back with a fix for this issue.  The fix is to install IE update 974455 and make the following registry change on the client:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl
Create a new Key, and name it as follows:
FEATURE_FORCE_POPUPS_ONTO_MONITOR_KB974537
Within this key, point to New , and then click DWORD Value
Type iexplore.exe for the name of the key
Right-click iexplore.exe , click Modify and then type 1 in the Value data field
