Newbie question

OK...I have my classes and trigger working in my sandbox; how do I get them created in my prod org? I do not have an Add button in Prod like I did in the sandbox.

That's because you can't write Apex code directly in a production environment. You have to write a test class that covers at least 75% of the code you're trying to deploy before you can push any Apex code to a production instance. As far as moving from a sandbox or developer environment, you have a few choices including:

  1. Ant based Salesforce migration utility
  2. Eclipse IDE plugin
  3. Change sets

I guessing you are in UI. If you are the only option is change set or manual copy paste. If you have eclipse you could use it to deploy

Yes, I am in the SFDC UI. I would be happy to manually copy/paste it to production; however I don't see any way to do that. I don't have a "New" button in the Apex Classes area in production that I had in the sandbox. How would you go about copying/pasting it to prod?

Thank you! I will give that a try.
