Clone an opportunity and clear some fields

Hi,

my clame is to clear some specified fields while cloning an opportunity. It is necessary to clear some fields in the opportunity-line-items, too.

I want to hide the salesforce opportunity duplicate-button and create a new one with a scontrol on it.

This works fine:

1. I fetch all fields of the source opportunity from the database. Now I put this fields into a new opportunity-object (array). The specified affected fields will be leave blank in this step.

2. This new array will now created in the database as a new opportunity and the new opportunity-id will be kept in mind. (Opportunity)

3. Now all opportunity line-items from the old (source) opportunity will be passed through and the line-items will be created in the database with the new opportunity-id. (OppotunityLineItem)

4. Pt. 3 will be repeated for the opportunitys contact roles. (OpportunityContactRole)

5. This should be repeated like Pt. 3 for the opportunity-partners, too. But here is the problem:
The structure (metadata) of the table OpportunityPartner is looking like it isn’t allowed to append/create fields/lines or modify/update any fields in this table.
Can anybody help me to clone the opportunity this way and duplicate the opportunity-partners (create/append them in the table OpportunityPartner)?
