SUMMARY

This article describes how to refresh a Microsoft Business Solutions CRM form from a third-party Web application.

MORE INFORMATION

The ISV.config XML file can be used to add toolbar buttons, navigation pane tabs, and menu items to Microsoft CRM forms. When these controls are clicked, a third-party form can be rendered in the user's browser as defined by the URL argument. When the following JScript is added to the third-party form, the Microsoft CRM form that was rendered when the third-party form was called is refreshed when the third-party form is closed. 
  <html>
     <head>
         <script language="javascript">
             function window.onunload()
             {
                 window.opener.location.reload();
                 window.close();
             }
         </script>
     </head>
     <body>
