bakum Overriding the Submit For Approval button
Hi, I want to override the Submit for Approval button...where the heck is it?? it's not on the opportunity. Where is it? Setup>>Customize>>???
Also, any hints on how not to override it completely, just want to insert a little ajax like a trigger that will run through the line items and do some wizardy on them and set some fields in a certain way when that button is hit. I'm thinking this is the process I would run through, what do you think?
-overridden button is pressed
-run api calls to do the changes on the line items as needed
-run api call to submit opportunity for approval
-reload page to same location as you would get to after pressing the standard Submit for Aproval button.
Thanks!

Thanks.
i feel your pain...i ended up re-working our approval processes in s-control form in order to inject necessary customizations
Not sure if this helps but I found a way to trigger to APEX before submitting the record for approval:
1 - add a field update as one of the initial submission actions (for example Status = Awaiting Approval)
2 - write a before update trigger that runs your code for the records where Status = Awaiting Approval
