Your custom button must go to "/setup/ui/recordtypeselect.jsp?ent=Account&retURL=%2F001%2Fo&save_new_url=%2F001%2Fe%3FretURL%3D%252F001%252Fo"
If you want to pass extra params : go to the standard new page, and check the document source : on chrome, right-click on the field to pre-populate, and select "inspect element", then copy the "id" value :
In your url, add : ".....&acc23=NEW_VALUE", your field will be pre-populated.
If the field is a lookup field, add "FIELDID=RELATED_RECORD_NAME&FIELDID_lkid=RELATED_RECORD_NAME"
for example for a contact lookup field : ".....accXX=John+Doe&accXX_lkid=003YYYYYY"
Hope this helps

This means that you want to create always the same type of object, if this is really what you want :
- Create a custom button of URL type, to override the standard New button (this is a button on "xyz" object).
- Select a recordtype id : go to the record type page, then select the Salesforce ID of the record type : it is the URL portion of the page that starts with 012 :
- Paste this url in the button :
"/001/e?retURL=%2F001%2Fo&RecordType=RECORD_TYPE_ID"
- replace the standard New button in the acount page layout, in the related list of xyz object

thnks for your reply.
but unfortunately,this wont work as i have to pass a fields value to the field of xyz object.
Also this record type id will of only one particular type whereas i want the user to create xyz records of any reocrd types
Is there any other way you know?
thanks

this is my url
https://xx18.salesforce.com/setup/ui/recordtypeselect.jsp?ent=01I20000000SUSG&retURL=%2F0012000001Duoz3&save_new_url=%2Fa07%2Fe%3FCF00N20000009GubC%3DBlack%2BLion%26CF00N20000009GubC_lkid%3D0012000001Duoz3%26retURL%3D%252F0012000001Duoz3
how do i implement?
- Select list button type w/o checkboxes, and URL content source.
- Paste your URL in the textarea, then save.
- add the new button to the account page layout : in the XYZ related list, click on the tool icon on the right, and in the popup, click on the "buttons" section.
Hope this helps

thanks for your reply...i just searched for the id in ent parameter and found out that its my XYZ custom object id so i wrote
ent=XYZ__c howeever i get an error stating that
The value of the "ent" parameter contains a character that is not allowed or the value exceeds the maximum allowed length. Remove the character from the parameter value or reduce the value length and resubmit. If the error still persists, report it to our Customer Support team. Provide the URL of the page you were requesting as well as any other related information.

To avoid this, you can create/refresh a sandbox so your objects, record types etc will have the same ids in production and in sandbox.
I think you will not have so much changes to do after deploy : you can deploy, adapt to prod id, and refresh your sandbox
Be careful, if you refresh a sandbox, all your developments, customizations and test data will be lost.
Hope this helps
