Small issue in regards to the contact lookup

[#1]

Hi guys,

I've discoverred a small issue with SalesLogix. The problem exists in the LAN client of SalesLogix 7.52.2151.

For some reason, when you access the detail view of a particular contact in Logix and click on the contact field name (see screenshot).

Take note of the options below the lookup. The only option you have is "Within current Group".

Now see the options that appear if we go to Lookup >>> Contacts >>> Last Name

You will now see an extra option (Create a temporary group containing all results.)

Surely both of these should be the same?

Many thanks,

Well.....one of us from Wheaton, IL who shall remain unmentioned pointed this out nearly a decade ago....as it used to be standard OOTB functionality. Don't forget the user options for setting some of the Lookup 'parameters'.

Your specific issue has to do with the Contact and Account Detail Form and how they invoke the Button Click (the old OnLabel Click cypress enable BASIC stuff) lookups in the code.

SLX uses:

Lookup Support Script

LookupByName (strLookupName, strPreFill)
    Dim objLookup

    On Error Resume Next
       Set objLookup = Application.BASICFunctions.LookupItemWithConditionByID (strLookupName, False, "", "", "", strPreFill)
     

I alter the code on our system to:

        Application.BasicFunctions.DoInvoke "LOOKUP", strLookup

which returns temp groups for me.

YEA!
