setting the recordtypeid in visual workflow

I have a custom object with several recordtypes.  I want to create these using visual workflow but I get an error when trying to set the recordtype ID.  I have the id and I have confirmed that it is the correct one.  What is the secret to doing this?

    Thank you Sachin. I had already done what you describe to get the ID, I

    NEVER hard-code an Id!! I too learned this lesson the hard way. Anyway,

    my issue was that I did not have values in all the required fields. I

    hadn't realized that validation rules do not fire in flows. I did mark

    your website as a favorite as I saw that it contained lessons on other

    things I will be tackling. This is my first visual workflow project. We

    have used code to accomplish a lot of custom functionality and now are in

    the predicament of having to reduce the amount of code due to limits.

    Now I am trying to automatically fire an approval process from a flow

    without my user having to push a button. Is this possible?

    Thanks,
