    Hi

    Andriy is right But you can try the following if you are interested.

    Create a custom text field in account entity,

    On form save event add the guid of the account to this field

     crmForm.all.fieldname.DataValue =crmForm.ObjectId;

    Then you can access this field in the workflow.

    I hope this helps.

    In the case workflow will handle create operation this trick would not work. Also this trick would not work till someone will open and save form.

    Hello,

    This is impossible out of box. It is possible with custom workflow activity. Such workflow activity you can find here - http://crmaccelerators.codeplex.com/releases/view/26691
