One of our environments is one that was upgraded from MOSS 2007. In that transition, BDC changed to BCS and we didn’t really take care of that because we weren’t using BDC that much. One of the lists got migrated and stopped working, but because it was in a dark alley on our SharePoint site,

This probably is the last post in my latest BCS series for now, since our project is almost finished 🙂 One of the last hurdles I had to take was an error which only occured in our production environment for some reason (I guess production and test still aren’t similar enough).
