  Hi...
   
  I am trying to update the owner field for a particular lead using javascript based on leadid.
  
  First of all my question is
  As owner field is a lookup field, if we change the ownerid of the lead then, will this changes the owner for that lead?
  
  The code I used to update the ownerid for a lead is:
  
  
  var leadId = "3006A97D-C2F3-DD11-B8DD-0003FF298905";
  var ownerID = "304D27D5-39D0-DC11-AA32-0003FF33509E";
  
  var authenticationHeader = GenerateAuthenticationHeader();
  
  // Prepare the SOAP message.
  var xml = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>"+
  "<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'"+
  " xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'"+
  " xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'>"+
  authenticationHeader+
  "<soap:Body>"+
  "<Update xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/crm/2007/WebServices'>"+
  "<entity xsi:type='lead'>"+
  "<ownerid>"+ownerID +"</ownerid>"+
  "<leadid>"+leadId+"</leadid>"+
  "</entity>"+
  "</Update>"+
  "</soap:Body>"+
  "</soap:Envelope>";
  // Prepare the xmlHttpObject and send the request.
  var xHReq = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
  xHReq.Open("POST", "/mscrmservices/2007/CrmService.asmx", false);
  xHReq.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction","http://schemas.microsoft.com/crm/2007/WebServices/Update");
  xHReq.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");
  xHReq.setRequestHeader("Content-Length", xml.length);
  xHReq.send(xml);
  // Capture the result
  var resultXml = xHReq.responseXML;
  
  // Check for errors.
  var errorCount = resultXml.selectNodes('//error').length;
  if (errorCount != 0)
  {
   var msg = resultXml.selectSingleNode('//description').nodeTypedValue;
   alert(msg);
  }
  // Display a confirmation message and open the updated contact.
  else
  {
  alert("Lead with id = "+leadId+" successfully updated.");
  }
  
  
  
  It is not giving any error but, the ownerid is not updating.
  
  Can any one have an idea of how to update the owner using javascript?
  
  
  Thanks in advance...
