URL hack for Accounts

hi,
I am populating few fields on account when i click new custom button. I am using url hack to populate th fields.  Button is copying the value for all fields except text area.

I want to copy description field value to another record.

I can see value in the url is copid but it is not populated on the field. How can i copy text area field using url hack? 
/001/e?retURL=/{!Account.Id}

&CF00N63000000HV70={!Account.Description__c}

Have you tried removing the "CF" part in the field ID? Also Account object has standard Description field, in case you are mixing them up.

Try this: 
  
/001/e?retURL=/{!Account.Id}

&00N63000000HV70={!Account.Description__c}

If this won't work, I would suspect the field type being text area.

thanks.

@Tolga: Description field is custom text area on accounts.

@Amit : , i want field to be populated with its value. example : if description is "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" and when i click on this button it should copy this value to new record. so this field can have different value for different accounts. I canot hard code the value like "demo"
