Don't have an account?
Eric Insert new account through API
Hi,
I am using SalesForce API with the version 1.9 to insert new account into SalesForce, those
accounts do not display when I click the look up of the account under new
opportunity entity. But those new accounts do display in account entity. Does anyone
why can cause this problem?
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
p.s: I am using xmlrpc calls.

Eric,
The problem you are describing does not have anything to do with your inserting Accounts via the API. The same behaviour can be found using the salesforce.com service (via browser).
When you click the magnifying glass icon (lookup control) next to the Account field on an Opportunity layout, we bring up a search window with the results of the initial query. The initial query input value is defined as the value entered into the Account field. For example, if you entered "a" into the Account field, and then clicked on the lookup control, the search accounts window would come up with all accounts starting with "a".
In the event that you do not enter a value in the Account field (i.e., it is blank), and click the lookup control, the search accounts window would come up with a list of your key opportunities and most recently viewed opportunities as well.
