How can I make a change in one entity when a change has been made in another entity?
Hi All,
This is the scenario that I am trying to code. If I tick a 'decommissioned' tick box in our PC entity, it records the date and disables that PC record, however I would like to code it so that it also make a change in an entity linked by a relationship. For example our PC entity and IP number entities are linked. If the PC is no longer used I would like the 'machine name' text field in the IP entity to change from the PCs ID number to 'unused'. So I can free up IP numbers as the machines are removed from the network.
I have tried using the postcodeLookup example that can data from one entity into another but I haven't been able to apply it to this scenario.
Any help is appreciated.
Tks.

Dev errors were on. The error message isn't the usual CRM error message in it's own browser window. The only error message I get is the smaller 'MS Dynamics CRM has encountered an error', Send - Don't Send.
