Microsoft CRM: The parent object is invalid or missing

Welcome to one of the least mentioned errors you can get with CRM 3.0. "Unexpected error occurred" is worse, but at least it has web pages. When I wrote this post, the only references to this error were the two Microsoft pages that list the CRM error codes. Since I'm about to call Microsoft Gold support, I'll put what they tell me here.

OK.

This is what I finally learned.

The "regardingobjectid" CAN take any object reference.

However, it is in practise limited by the relationships defined in CRM. Relationships you cannot add to or delete from.

With full tracing turned on, you can eventually find this in the huge amount of information that is fed into the logs with each request.
