Popoulate Salesforce Lookup Fields on a Standard Page Using URL Parameters

Hello,

While navigating to a standard page from custom page - I am passing URL Parameters to fields on the Standard page.
I am using fieldID to achieve this and it works for all fields except for lookup fields. 

As mentioned in this blog http://www.interactiveties.com/blog/2010/button-override.php, lookup field can be populated based on ID and Value.
I am passing both ID and values.

Below is the snippet of my URL value: 
/500/e?00Na000000ArhgS=SampleProd&CF00Na000000ArhgS_lkid=a7Za0000000PB6eEAG&nooverride=1

For some reason, this does not populate the values in the lookup field. It should populate as "SampleProd"

Please suggest!

Hi Archie,

Looking at a similar URL hack in my org, everything checks out, except for one thing, a missing prefix which causes the two ids to be different:
00Na000000ArhgS
CF00Na000000ArhgS_lkid
Try changing 00Na000000ArhgS to CF00Na000000ArhgS. Should do the trick.

Hope this helps.

Kindly mark this as solved if the reply was helpful.

Thanks,
Nagendra
