It was also nice to see an&nbsp;introductory tutorial to help me get started with this as well. I noticed in the video above that you had created a custom ribbon with other custom buttons that when clicked, pulled data from CRM into the pane. Would you be able to recommend any tutorials or have any advice on how to go about creating that piece? Thanks again.http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/benriga/The-Dynamics-Duo-talk-about-CRM-and-Office-Business-Applications-OBA/?CommentID=451026Sat, 03 Jan 2009 00:28:53 GMThttp://channel9.msdn.com/posts/benriga/The-Dynamics-Duo-talk-about-CRM-and-Office-Business-Applications-OBA/?CommentID=4510260http://channel9.msdn.com/451026/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0Girish, thank you for the demonstration on the&nbsp;capalities of CRM and OBA.
