Not much news on the CRM front –convergence really did not reveal a lot of information about the up and coming titan release. There is an interesting site for dynamics live that displays some screenshots showing off some process, collaboration and community features –it is not clear if these screenshots are representative of how titan will look or how this fits into the release later this year.

There is very little CRM news from convergence yet but I hear tomorrow will be our day so eyes peeled! On a more useful note the CRM UK team blog has now got a RSS feed.

You can establish that a tab has focus using the following JavaScript in the onload event of your form.

crmForm.all.tab0Tab.onclick = function() {
