SYMPTOMS
Some buttons and tabs are missing from the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 Web client. This issue occurs when the Microsoft Dynamics CRM desktop client for Microsoft Office Outlook is running on the computer, and you start the Microsoft CRM Web client.

For example, one or more of the following buttons or tabs are missing when you start the Microsoft CRM Web client:
 * The Delete button in the Quotes dialog box
 * The Send Direct E-mail button in the Accounts dialog box
 * The Send Direct E-mail button in the Contacts dialog box
 * The Settings tab in the Navigation Pane



CAUSE
This issue occurs because the cookie from the Microsoft Dynamics CRM client for Outlook is present when you start the Microsoft CRM Web client.

 * 2) Start Microsoft Internet Explorer.
 * 3) Click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
 * 4) Click Delete Cookies, and then click OK.
