Hi,

I've got a custom object called "Meeting Note" on a parent-child relationship off of Account.  In the related list area there's the usual "New Meeting Note" button.  When you press it, you get a new Meeting Note record in edit mode, with the account information populated in already.

I would like to launch a visualforce page there instead, but I also want the behavior to be the same -- where the parent account info is already populated.

Just for comparison's sake, I added a new button called "Meeting Note 2."   I tried to make the Content Source "Visualforce Page" but then my page (markup below) doesn't come up as a choice in the dropdown list.  Is there something missing?

So what I did instead just for giggles was I made the Content Source "URL" and put in /apex/meetingnote as the URL.  I'm sure I can take this a step further and pass in the Account.Id value into the URL and maybe go from there.  But I get the feeling there's just something small missing that's keeping it from working the way I'd have expected it to??

Any help is appreciated!! :smileyhappy:
