URL for Change Record Owner link

On the Visualforce page that I have created I want to add the [Change] link next to the Record Owner name so that the record owner can be re-assigned to another user.   I know that the correct URL to change the Opportunity Owner looks something like this:

https://c.cs2.visual.force.com/006R00000032yPy/a?retURL=%2F006R00000032yPy

I am trying to go there with this Output Link tag:

Code:
<apex:outputLink value="{!$CurrentPage.parameters.id}/a?retURL=%2F{!$CurrentPage.parameters.id}">
   [Change]
</apex:outputLink>

 But it adds the "apex" part of my visualforce page's URL like so:

https://c.cs2.visual.force.com/apex/006R00000032yPy/a?retURL=%2F006R00000032yPy

How do I get the correct URL?

Thanks

It does not solve the problem.  First, from that post, it sounds like you cannot navigate back to the custom VF page and second, that solution suggests hard-coding the instance of salesforce, which in the post is https://c.na3.visual.force.com, into the link, which means that it would not work once the code is migrated from a sandbox to production.

Try putting a forward slash in front of your link, like
 
Code:
 <apex:outputLink value="/{!$CurrentPage.parameters.id}/a—retURL=%2F{!$CurrentPage.parameters.id}">
   [Change]
</apex:outputLink>
  This should force the page to look for the link from the directory root, and not the 'apex' directory.

Try this:

Code:
<apex:page standardController="Account">
    <apex:outputLink value="{!URLFOR($Action.Account.ChangeOwner,account.id)}">Change Owner</apex:outputLink>
</apex:page>

Excellent!  This works:
Code:
<apex:outputLink value="{!URLFOR($Action.Account.ChangeOwner,account.id)}">Change Owner</apex:outputLink>
 
Thanks!

Hi Andrew,

I was wondering if you could point me to the documentation that explains the various actions available.  As of yet, I haven't be able to find it, and thus, I've had trouble getting my head around actions, as I've had to resort to trial and error when I needed them.

Thanks a lot,
Mike

There is a picker in the edit page for a custom button/link.

I've been using them solely in Visualforce pages thus far, so I didn't ever notice that there... so helpful, thanks!
