Toby,
To me, who is a novice at .NET, it looks like that code is doing a simple
lookup and insert into the db using the information from the form. It is
using the e-mail as the item to match on and then inserting the answers from
the survey into the DB using the methods written in .NET (this is just a
sub-sample of the entire application as it is calling some other methods)
But what it is clearly stating, is that it is expecting either a 0 or a 1
for whether or not the respondent likes ice cream, and that the numerical
values for hair color need to be inserted instead of the actual name. Also
looks to be validating and formating the Postal Code correctly, but all in
all pretty straight forward stuff. Do you need to write CF to interact with
the .NET or just to replace what it is doing?
