  Hi Stephen, I would suggest approaching this backwards, and start at the endpoint you're needing. In other words, if you head to the standard Salesforce account page and click "new opportunity," the URL you're sent to should illustrate for you how your Skuid page should build the URL. For me, it looks like this:
  
  https://na35.salesforce.com/006/e?retURL=%2F0014100000HRU3y&accid=0014100000HRU3y
  
  and I would then set up my Skuid button to head to a URL that looks something like
  
  https://na35.salesforce.com/006/e?retURL=%2F0014100000HRU3y&accid={{{Id}}}
  
  That should work for standard Salesforce objects and fields.  you'll need to make sure that your button's Model is pulling the id# field.

  I have already accomplished this piece Mark.  My redirect is working fine.  I am just wondering if there is a way to auto-populate some of the standard and custom fields (lead source, territory, etc.) on the page that my URL is pointing to.

  In that case, if you haven't already done so, it sounds like you may need to set up an override for this particular object. Here is documentation on overriding a detail page, and on our help page more override scenarios are covered as well if that doesn't fit your need.

  I have my redirect pointing to the standard salesforce page.  I would like to keep it that way and just pass some values in the redirect URL itself.  Do you know if this is possible?
