FYI: I have read the other posts on this subject but theya re very old and their solutions do not wokr for me.

I need to find the 15 (or 18) digit ID for the Name firld of a Custom Object I have created.  Here is what I have tried:

1) Searching the Enterprise WSDL
2) Searching the HTML in "View Source" mode
3) getDescribe()

None of these have worked for me. I need another solution, please.

Thanks.

I am trying to create a custom button which, when clicked, will open an edit screen for a custom object (Customer Documentation Checklist) and populate the Name field with the Name of the Opportunity which is related to plus the current date.

So far, the record opens in edit mode but neither the Name or the Opportunity field are being prepopulated. Here is the URL I am using:
a0V/e?00N5B000000nXcB={!Opportunity.Name}
&00N5B000000nXcB_lkid={!Opportunity.Id}
&01I5B0000004tHs={!Opportunity.Name}+TODAY()
&retURL=/{!Opportunity.Id}

What am I missing?
