Custom button to open Custom object by Page

Hi..

I am kindoff confused with this.

Any help please.....!!!!!

 

I have a req where I need to create a custom button on standard object.Lets suppose it as account.

I have a custom object called Candidate__c which has account look up.

I have to create a custom button on Account..which when clicked,opens candidate__c edit page with account data pre populated.

I created a VF page but not able to access on account button creation.

I also set standardcontroller Please help..Any sample snippet...I need this ASAP!!!

I dont think you will need visualforce page here to create a button for populating the edit page of the cadidate...

 

1. Create a button of type Detail page button, content source = URL, Behaviour=Display in existing window without sidebar or header.

2. Add something like..

 

/a0G/e?CF00NE0000004opCZ={!Account.Name}&CF00NE0000004opCZ_lkid={!Account.Id}&00NE0000004opCe={!Account.Name}

 

a0G -> candidate object prefix, 

e -> edit mode

CF00NE0000004opCZ={!Account.Name}&CF00NE0000004opCZ_lkid={!Account.Id} -> to populate lookup field if you want to..
