Error message when you change the Parent Account field in an opportunity form in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0: "No Attribute"

In Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, when you change the Parent Account field in the opportunity form of an opportunity that has a parental relationship with an organization-owned custom entity, you receive the following error message:

When the Parent Custom field is changed and the opportunity is updated, the Microsoft Dynamic CRM platform performs a re-parenting operation on all child entities of the opportunity. When Microsoft Dynamic CRM retrieves the child entities, the owninguserid attribute is added to the columnset parameter of the query. However, the owninguserid attribute does not exist on organization-owned entities. Therefore, an exception is thrown.

This problem is fixed in the latest cumulative update rollup for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
