Pre-populate from button

Question

I'm starting to feel a little dense. I've read various posts regarding this same topic, but I can't seem to get mine to work.

I have a junction object that links opportunities to a custom object called Programs. I very creatively called the junction donation programs (we are a non-profit). The standard new button that shows up on the related list only pre-populates the opportunity name into the junction object, but it would be great if it could go a step further and populate the amount of the opportunity as well.

I've created a new button on the junction object and have gotten far enough to pre-populate the amount, but I cannot for the life of me get the opportunity to populate now.

The button's url follows:

/a0V/e?00NG000000BzGRM={!Opportunity.Amount}&00NG000000BzGM7={!Opportunity.Id}&saveURL=%2F{!Opportunity.Id}&retURL=%2F{!Opportunity.Id}

I used the field's ID as the reference in the URL, which I found by navigating to the field in the setup menu. Anyone have any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Shot in the dark! Can you try this:

/a0V/e?00NG000000BzGRM={!Opportunity.Amount}&CF00NG000000BzGM7_lkid={!Opportunity.Id}&CF00NG000000BzGM7={!Opportunity.Name}&saveURL=%2F{!Opportunity.Id}&retURL=%2F{!Opportunity.Id}

For url hacks involving lookup fields you need to not only set the Id of the field as well as the Display for the field.  Theres a unique way to do this   The way you do this is   CFYourFieldID={!Opportunity.Name}&CFYourFieldID_lkid={!Opportunity.Id}   Notice you add a CF to the beginning and when setting the id, you add a _lkid.  CF is used as a prefix to identify custom fields, and _lkid as a postfix to identify the target lookup id field.   So in your case, you need to set    CF00NG000000BzGM7={!Opportunity.Name} CF00NG000000BzGM7_lkid={!Opportunity.Id}
