Hi Hema,

This can be acheieved using VF Page. Below are the steps that you need to follow.
1. Create a VF Page with Standard Controller as the custom Object.
2. In the VF Page allow user to select which records to create.(As a check box)
3. In convert button write a logic to create the respective object.
             first create account, 
                      then, contact and relate it with account created.

Let me know if you need any help on this. If this really solves your porblem mark it as answer.


Thanks

Thanks for replying ManojSankaran,

i need to develope one button in custom object (like lead object) when click on button create account and contact 
ManojSankaranManojSankaran
Yes Hema,

That is the first step to do the converstion proces. VF Page depends on the complexity that you have. It can also be achieved using Javascript Button.

Can u please send me the code javascript or visualforce page
ManojSankaranManojSankaran
it may take time to write a VF Page and Javascript. Will share after some time. Till then try implement that using VF Page.

Below are the steps

1. StandardController should be your custom object.
2. Add an extenstion.
3. Display 3 Checkboxes in the page with (Create Account, Create Contact and Create Task)
4. Add a button in the page (Let Say Convert)
5. Write a controller method which will get the id of the custom object from the url.
6. Query the required field needed to create a account and contact from the Custom Object
7. Insert the record into salesforce.

Let me know if you know more details to do this.


Thanks
