  Lookup fields consist of three parts: name, GUID and entityname. Since this is stored as an array, you have to create an array with these three objects and use the array to set the lookup.
  
  Example:
  
  

  var lookupItem = new Array();

  var lci = new Object();

  lci.id = "{ABCDEF-123456-78901}";

  lci.name = "Microsoft";

  lci.typename = "Account";

  lookupItem[0] = lci;

  crmForm.all.myfield.DataValue = lookupItem;

  Thanks, thats it!
  
  The form needs to be saved to display the new value of the lookup field. How did you solve this problem?

  You can force the new value, but this is mostly used whenever you want to change a readonly field and save the change into the database.
  
  

  crmForm.all.myfield.ForceSubmit = true;

  
  The best way is to run the save event dynamically without having to press the save button:
  
  

  crmForm.Save();
