Where is the form called from? If its from opportunity for example, a possible way would be:

Sage.Entity.Interfaces.IOpportunity opp = this.BindingSource.Current as Sage.Entity.Interfaces.IOpportunity;

string currentAccId = opp.Account.Id.ToString....

Ummm, there will be no current Account so no. You will surely be looking up the account on the insert of the opportunity, so you can just get the Id from the account lookup control surely??!

I was looking for a way to mimic what is being done on the Insert Opportunity Screen. When you click the Insert with the Account Detail in focus the Opp is filled in with the account info. Thanks again Nick.

Ok, if thats the case the code I printed previously should work. If it doesnt you could then just use the lookupid property of the account lookup. You would have to error handle in case the account lookup/Opportunity.Account entity is empty of course.

As Nick mentioned, you can always get to the parent of the Current entity from the BindingSource or if in a SmartPart/QuickForm use GetParentEntity(). Once an account is selected it will be available to use in code, however, if you're looking for "what is the last account the user was on", then you'll have to use the Entity History Service. This can provide the info of what previously visited entities and what is the context for the system currently, such as current entity (really last) on the main view.

I've documented how to use this service here: http://customerfx.com/pages/crmdeveloper/2008/05/30/using-the-entityhistoryservice-to-retrieve-previously-accessed-entities.aspx
