But when i go offline the request execution fails and throws an exception saying server was unable to processthe request.Is it happening because in offline mode CRM doesn’t expose the customizations?? Is there any alternate way to get the formxml in offline mode??Regards,Lalitesh

  HiI’ve developed some custom web pages that are sitting under the ISV folder of CRM4. When the CRM was set to use the standard protocal and port number 5555 the pages loaded fine.However, when the CRM site was switced to use SSL on the default port of 443, the custom webpages are timing out. I don’t think CRM can find the pages!
