Hi,

Can you provide a screenshot and highlight what would you like to enable?

Sure, the Opportunity header is attached and the schema names are; pfunded, pwin, updateall, paward, rating

Thanks

My recollection is that header fields on forms in CRM 2011 are always read-only and this cannot be changed. However in later versions, header fields are writeable.

Yes, that is what I am encountering and finding online.  However, the company has been able to put these fields on the Opportunity Header and use them in CRM 2011.  There are no plans to upgrade for 2 years so I am trying to make 2011 work.

I cannot get to their current site to see what they did, the screenshot and attributes are just on my personal VirtualBox  sandbox

Thanks
Interesting, perhaps a Silverlight web resource was added to the header that displays the fields.

Perhaps but the fields need to be searchable by advanced find, would that be the case with Silverlight?
What determines whether a field is searchable is a customization property of the field. Whether the field is on a form, in the header or main body is not relevant.

Thanks, any other options than Silverlight?  

I don't use it and would prefer another method.  If Silverlight is the best (or only) option, then can you provide information that would helpful in getting this to work.

Good point Rikin, thanks for pointing that out.

Divided the point because you both put time into this and gave me a couple of options.   I will probably go HTML5 but if the company already has a Silverlight web resource built for other entities, I will use that for now and change after all the issues are taken care of.

Thanks
