Damien,

Are you trying to get the value of a lookup in a sub-grid, or are you trying to get the value from the lookup field’s entity, etc? If you could explain in more detail what you are trying to do, I could try and help you accomplish it.

This code should work the way it is with CRM 2011 since the 2007 web services are still available. You could also probably use the REST SDK or a SOAP call to look it up.

I will have to look at it more in-depth and get it back to you, but I will add it onto my list of items to look at and post an update to.

How can I get this to work in CRM 2011? Can you email me with a response?

That is easier than what this actually does. It looks up a lookup field on another entity, if you just want to lookup a field on a related entity, you could do that with this procedure now that I modified it. I modified the script to take value as a returntype so that you can use it to do what you are trying to do. You would call it with something like the line below. If it doesn’t work, let me know.

getEntityLookup(crmForm.all.contactlookup.DataValue[0].id, ‘contact’, ‘contactid’, ‘phonefieldname’,'value’);

Thanks for the post. Perhaps I am “thick”… but here is what I am trying to do. I an entity I created (called Goal) I have a lookup field for the Contact Name from the Contact entity. I want to put a Contact name in the Goal record. When the Contact name is selected, I want another field on the Goal entity (Contact phone) to automatically retrieve the Contact phone number from the Contact entity. Can your code do this?

Thanks
