    Off the top of my head:

    Function GetAccountTypeByName(ByRef accTypeName as String)
	try:
		return AccountType.GetItem(accTypeName)
	catch ex as Exception:
		throw ErrorHandler.LogWrite(si, new XFException(si, ex))
	end try
end function

    That gives you back an AccountType object, which is a bit more flexible. Then in your main code you can use it like this:

     AccProperties.AccountType.SetStoredValue( GetAccountTypeByName("Flow").Id )
