Hi

There is a function that is used in saleslogix called Application.BasicFunctions.CurrentAccountID.SetCurrentAccountID

Is there a Lead equivelent?

I already have a custom Account lookup that works fine and changes the account record to whatever i choose from the lookup. However I want to create a custom lookup search on the Lead entity rather then the account but can't seem to achieve the same results. Is there something else I can use to retrieve the lead chosen?

I'm returning the leadid and have tried Application.BasicFunctions.ShowViewForRecord function which works to an extent but opens a new window with the lead in where i want to just change the existing lead on display.

Any help will be appeciated.

Thanks in advance

Dave

Hi Dave,

Try using the following (replacing LEADID with the id of the record you wish to display).

Application.MainViews.AddEx "System:Lead Details", 1, True, 1, LEADID, ""

This should open the Lead Details form (providing you are using the OOTB one) for the given ID. The true value states that an existing view will be used if one is available.

Let me know if this does the trick.
