    Hi Vikram,Thank you for your help.  I have tried the following code but when testing the plugin i get a Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.InvalidPluginExecutionException' was thrown error 

                    Dim strLicence As String = String.Empty
                    If entity.Contains("new_licence") Then
                        Dim Account As EntityReference = CType(entity.Attributes("new_licence"), EntityReference)
                        strLicence = Account.Name
                    End If
                Throw New InvalidPluginExecutionException(strLicence)
    The pluging is being executed on a record create on a custom entity 'new_OAccounts' . the new_licence field is a lookup to accounts.  hope that makes sense. Also whilst you are being so kind, I have  several 'two option ' fields that i will need to get the value from.

    Dont ask me .. i dont know

    Hi Vikram,

    Forgive my ignorance, but what would that be in vb.net, and would EntityReference be accounts ?
