Yes, although CF's default web services interface is a little too simple to do everything you need directly. That said, you can do it all from CF; I'm giving a presentation on how to do this in about five minutes here at cf.Objective. The URL for the presentation is here: http://figleaf.mmalliance.acrobat.com/cfobjective2009/cfsalesforce/ Code samples will follow soon. Basically, the big problems are: - you have to use SOAP headers (not really a big problem), - you have to dynamically change the endpoint (this isn't a big problem once you figure out how to do it, - you have to use the Java stub classes to create new records, etc > I'm also weighing a build or buy decision with regard to a data connector > between Salesforce and our ERP system (Pervasive SQL database). If I have a > working knowledge of SSIS, do I really need to spend the money for a > connector? Probably not, but it's a question of how much time you want to sink into it as well.
