Custom fields prevent activities from being closed when you upgrade from Microsoft CRM 1.2 to Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0
The hotfix that is discussed in this article is not available for the Chinese version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM or for the Japanese version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
Consider the following scenario. You upgrade from Microsoft CRM 1.2 to Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0. Custom fields on the activity tables are created. These fields are created from non-custom fields in Microsoft CRM 1.2. In this scenario, the fields prevent activities from being closed in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0.
This problem occurs because some of the activity fields in Microsoft CRM 1.2 are only used for certain activity types. If fields that are not related to a certain activity type are populated before you upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0, custom fields are created to retain the data that is stored in the fields.
Examples of these types of fields which can be populated by using the Microsoft CRM 1.2 software development kit (SDK) include the following fields:
- DirectionCode
- ScheduledDurationMinutes
- StatusCode
- Sender
- ToRecipients
- ScheduledEnd
- ScheduledStart
This problem is fixed in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 Update Rollup 1. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
