Thread: Lookup Remembers Last Account

Lookup Remembers Last Account Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I have a lookup that works correctly the first time I use it, however, if I switch accounts and use the lookup again, it filters the contact results based on the first account. This will keep happening no matter how many times I swap accounts. The only way around is logging out and back in.

I'm assuming this is a bug but I can't figure out a workaround for this one...any ideas?

How are you setting the lookup filters? I am assuming on a quickformload? If so, ensure the "On Entity Changing" property of the quickformload is set to "True".

Cheers,
Nick

Sorry I don't quite follow. I am setting my lookup filter using a c# snippet:

lkpBillTo.LookupPreFilters.Clear();
lkpBillTo.LookupPreFilters.Add("AccountName", myProject.Account.AccountName);

Where exactly is the "On Entity Changed" property? From what you wrote I assumed it is a property of the form itself however I don't see it. It's not a property of the lookup either from what I can tell.

Where are you running those two lines of code? I can only assume you are running them in a quickformload, i.e. will run when the page first loads? Or do you run them when you click the lookup button?

Yes they are run when the form loads.

I should say I've stepped through the code in VS. I see the prefilter being cleared and then I see it being set correctly to the new account name, however when I hit my search button in the lookup dialog it is obviously being filtered on the first account I accessed.
