Satish,

 

   Now it is clear that you have detail page button, the code is simple. You keep the content of th button as "OnClick Javascript" and use the code below

 

 

if('{!Opportunity.Name}' == "Testing"){
    window.parent.location.href = "/apex/Invoice_1?id="+'{!Opportunity.Id}';
}else{
   //do nothing
}

Hi Satish,

 

     For such scenarios please use "OnClick Javascrip" content for your custom button an use a javascript code to navigate to some url based on the conditions.

  Also because you mentioned that this custom button is in Opportunity tab, I assume that this a List button. For your scenario I guess, the user will select one Opportunity record by ticking checkbox beside the row in the list and navigate to Invoice genration page .

 

a sample code might be the following (assumin list button. If the assumption is wrong then code will be different)

 

 

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/17.0/connection.js")} 
//get record id for selected opportunity
var oppRecordId = {!GETRECORDIDS( $ObjectType.Opportunity )};


if(oppRecordId.length > 1){    
   //Throw error message if user selects more than one
   alert("Error: You have to select only one Opportunity");
}else if(oppRecordId.length== 0){     
   //Throw error if user selects  no opportunity
   alert("Error: You have to select one Opportunity record");
}else if(oppRecordId.length == 1){
        //Test for name by querying the relavent opprtnity record
	var qResults = sforce.connection.query("Select Id, Name from Opportunity where Id = '"+oppRecordId[0]+"'");

        //alert(qResults); //debugging purposes
	if(qResults.records.Name == "Testing"){
            //since only one record is expected to return, if condition will have //qResults.records.name otherwise qResults.records[i].name as array of records are ret.
            window.parent.location.href = "/apex/Invoice_1?id="+oppRecordId[0]; 
        }else{
		//do nothing

        }
      }

 

Hope this helps
