    Hi,

    Few points:

    1. You should use etn (entity type name) instead of using etc (entity type code), etc code can change everytime you deploy entity from one enviornment to another.

    Updated:

    2. Why are you hardcoding rskey value?, you should remove it because it CRM generates it automatically based on opening record from the Entity Grid View (this value is used for Record Navigation in Form)

    3. Also make sure that your Url includes he organization name

    You may reffer to the following URL for further details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg328483.aspx

    Jehanzeb is correct that etn should be used because entity type code can be different for custom entities across systems, but if you pull up an entity in CRM you will notice that etc is included in the querystring by default, but you can change it to be etn= instead of etc=.  Then you just put the name of the entity.  So you will need to still parse in the name of the entity and the GUID for any operation that will generate an entity record.

    Example, I hightlighted the GUID and entity name for you.
