I am debugging a CRM 4.0 plugin. The plugin is handling an Update message for a custom entity. The plugin is registered in the Pre-Event Child pipeline.
The error message describes a failure while attempting to update a record in the ActivityPointerBase table. Sure enough, there is no record in this table for this entity type (entity type 10000 does correspond to the custom entity). What I don't understand is why CRM is referencing the ActivityPointerBase table. My code is attempting to update fields in the custom entity itself and is not not referencing any activites related to that custom entity. What causes CRM to want to update the ActivityPointerBase table, and how can I prevent CRM from attempting to update a record in this table that does not exist?
Thanks for any ideas you have.
Take care,
Bill
