custom button to create a new record for custom object

I have a custom object "Service Agreement". I need a button on the opportunity page to create a new "Service Agreement". This seems like it should be pretty simple, but I am not having any success (possibly due to my lack of experience with coding).

Hi Robbi,

Please follow step:

1) Grab salesforce object id from url. Just like I have "a01" for Employee custom object

Click on "New Button or Link" 

3) Follow image steps as sample

Thank you, Gulshan! With the slight change of taking the object id from the page after clicking new on the custom object, this worked perfectly!!!

Hi Guys, how could I get the Opportunity.Id in the button and copy it into the new "service agreement"?
