Attempting to deploy the trigger from this [answer][1], on another question of mine. This is the second time I've attempted to deploy some apex, but this time I really would like to get it working. After repeatedly be puzzled to by where and what I need to do, it appears that that the version of Salesforce I'm using makes a difference; using EE, Enterprise Edition. Reason I say that is because I got an error by going to "Setup > Build > Develop > Apex Triggers > Developer Console" then clicking "File > New > Apex Trigger" entering a "Name" and selecting the sObject as "Account" then clicked save. This resulted in an error saying, "ENTITY_IS_LOCKED: cannot create apex trigger on an active organization." After a few Googles, it appears that to deploy the code above, I must [follow these steps][2]: > The Apex classes and triggers should first be written in a Developer > Edition, Sandbox, or Trial organization along with the appropriate > test methods that test at least 1% of triggers and 75% of classes. To > deploy Apex into a production organization, a user with the Author > Apex permission must deploy the triggers and classes using either the > compileAndTest() or deploy() Metadata API methods which can be > accessed with either the Apex Development Tool based on Apache ANT or > the Force.com IDE based on Eclipse.][3] Issue is that that "makes sense" - but is way, way to high-level to be of any use, and the only other docs I've seen that "seem" complete effect are these: [Writing Your First Apex Class and Trigger][4] Does it seem like those docs as a rough guide to deploying the trigger provided in the [answer to my other question][5] would be the fastest way to get this done? If it matters, I do have access to both Developer & Developer Pro sandboxes, and have gotten the Force IDE loaded before, but just to do a download of the code as a semi-backup.
