Malisa,

I believe you are attempting to add a Related List to the Opportunity Page Layout. You will need to the following.
  • One of the requriements is that the respective Custom Object should have a relationship (Master Detail or Lookup) with the standard Opportunity object. You can accomplish this by creating a custom field of type Master Detail or Lookup on your Custom Object where Opportunity is the parent.
  • Next step would be navigate to Setup > Opportunity in Quick Find within Side Panel > Page Layouts > Edit > Related Lists from the top panel > Drag and drop the appropriate related list from the top panel to the page layout > Save.

Hi Malisa,

Since you mentioned in the question as" It will be a form to fill out" I believe its in the detail page of the opportunity, if so create a visualforce page in the edit mode with Opportunity as the STD controller and an extension. Embed this visualforce page in the opportunity detail page.

Hope this helps...!!!!
Thanks 
Rajesh.
