API - Problem updating Lead Objects

I am currently using VB to update some custom Leads Fields in my Salesforce Organization.The lead, at this point, has already been created in the organization. So I am only updating the custom fields below.

 

But when upsert is called, I receive the following error:

 

SalesforceManager : BuildSalesforceErrorMessage() : Salesforce Object - Lead : Salesforce Status Code : INVALID_FIELD_FOR_INSERT_UPDATE : Unable to create/update fields: IsConverted, LastModifiedById, LastModifiedDate, Name, SystemModstamp, CreatedById, CreatedDate, IsDeleted. Please check the security settings of this field and verify that it is read/write for your profile. : For Fields : IsConverted, LastModifiedById, LastModifiedDate, Name, SystemModstamp, CreatedById, CreatedDate, IsDeleted,  .
Exception Type: System.Exception

 

I have checked my Security Field Levels and all of the fields listed are visible and read-only to the API User. Also, the System Administrator can NOT modify the Security Field Level of those fields.

 

Questions:

  • Am I calling the right Web Method?
  • Should I be calling update specifically?
  • Is there some other restriction on the Lead Object?


Thanks, in advance, for your help,

Ok, I was able to resolve this issue.... 
 
Basically, when I was querying the Lead object I was returning the offending fields within the sObject. Therefore, I removed those fields from the select statement and the update worked appropriately.

There's no need to do a query to do an update, as long as you know the Id, you can just create a lead object, populate the Id, and the fields you want to change and then call update.

Ok, thank you for that information. That is very helpful.
