The test classes are useless to show how to do anything meaningful.

I did, by re-writing the entire app to use a newer version of fuelsdk.

Thanks, I got this working based on Jeremy's comment. As for the booleans, I just made them strings as it wasn't worth fighting with.

That's part of the silly issue. It blows up with a connection error, but it only does so when I'm inserting the date or boolean fields. I'm using final DateFormat outFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("M/dd/yyyy h:mm aa"); to format my date, so it would look like "9/25/2014 5:24 AM". Are you suggesting I use the format you gave?

No, the data extension has been created with a date field. I'm just trying to insert into it.

Thanks, I've come to realize that I don't need the data extensions to be shared, so I've gotten past this.

OK, what you are saying makes sense, but what do you mean by Parent Level MID. Newbie to ExactTarget here.

Yes. I created the app in app center using my account and I am an admin

OK, so in our case, it turns out this was set to be the same as the name. I'm basing that on the contents of the External Key field on the web interface to the data extension.
