MS CRM does of it own have fields of type "Lookup" Can you add
Lookup-fields to the schema and use it in customized forms?


Thanks
Frank Rombaut

Hi Stephan,

Thank you for your response. MS CRM just dropped a few points in my
appraisel.

Kind regards,
Frank

Frank,

Consider it this way. MS CRM is a platform, not just a product. If you
want to build an advanced form with all the bells and whistles, then you
can - you just need to do it outside the simple customization available in
the client. There is a full SDK available.

Hello Frank,

this is possible in a undocumented und unsupported way.

1. Extend the appropiate schema
2. Create a ASP.NET-page and implement it with the isv.config
3. Extend the ASP.NET-page with appropiate .NET-Code to access
the CRM database over the SDK to read the schema fields
4. Display the values with a lookup field (the html code for that is visible
in the html source code of every CRM form.)

You can do almost everything in version 1.2, but the most interesting things
are undocumented und unsupported.

Hi Jürgen,

Thanks. It think I understand your solution, but I am not a
softwaredeveloper so I need some time to learn a bit of ASP.NET.

Kind regards,
Frank Rombaut

Jürgen,

Why do you say that this is "unsupported"?

This is the *only* supported method of performing this task. Extending the
schema using the deployment manager and then building an ASP.NET page using
the SDK is the supported approach.

But the Deployment Manager does not enable you (or support) to extend the
schema by creating a new lookup field.....

But you don't need to create a "lookup" field (a string field will do) to be
able to create an ASPX.NET page that has a "lookup" field on it.
