Adding Activities to the Contact form in an iFrame

Hi Eric,

Adding activities, addresses or subaccounts to an iframe to any form in CRM 4.0 works only partially. Have you tried to "Add existing contact" or add a "New Address" whenever you have the forms inside an iframe? It does not work and returns a javascript error "could not complete the operation due to error 80020101"... Creating new activity or creating a new subaccount works, but whenever you try to "add existing" record, i.e. CRM does not just open an appropriate edit.aspx page, you will get the abovementioned error.

Haven't you encoutered this error? You wrote that everything is working, so I would like to know whether you also got this error or you just didn't check it?

Best regards,

Kuba

Assuming you added the customization to the contact view as displayed above, did you save the contact record before trying to add the related records? If not this could be the cause of your error as the contact must be created before adding related records.

I've read and implemented this article on my development site and it appears to work but I cannot create any New Activities by press the New Activity button. Is the iFrame acting as a read-only conduit or should I be able to add new activities using it?

Thanx

"u101440" on the Iframe properties remove the check by "restrict cross-frame scripting", publish your changes and it will work.

Thanx for this. Works excellent. One last thing though, there is a small amount of padding to either side and below the iFrame (you can see this in the pictures above as well). Is there a way to remove this?

Thanks for your comments ddevine and u101440. I am unaware of any way to remove the padding in the iframe.

iFrame or Web Service

Hello, I have a doubt. I have to connect with another DataBase to obtain some data. This DataBase is a Web Application, so I don't know if I have to insert an iFrame in the CRM with the url or create a Web Service, because I don't the differences. I want to know the advantages y disadvantages of these.

I hope your help. Thanks.
