How to Prevent an Object from being created by an opportunity status

Our opportunities have statuses. When they are at prospect status, how do I prevent users from creating objects off of this opportunity?

 

I do not know where to start to develop this. Any ideas?

 

Thank you in advance.

Could not get what u mean by "revent users from creating objects off of this opportunity"..

Plz elaborate..

 

 

Also, you could write a trigger on before insert/before update on 'the object that could be created',

and prevent it from being created after validating the opp status.

 

Tell me if that helps..

"revent" was supposed to be "prevent". As for your suggestion, could you elaborate a little more? Is this something I need to add to my custom button when they create the object?

if u want to prevent opps being created..then u cud write a trigger which runs on before insert/before update which checks the status of the opportunity..and gives an error if it is at prospecting stage..

nothing to do with the custom button..
