am trying to refactor an app that I have inherited that was not coded using rails best practices. I am fairly new to rails and I am doing the tutorials and book thing, but I also need to keep making process on the project.

Uh, well. Not sure that's a good idea, but whatever. Does this app have decent test coverage? If not (and I'd bet I know the answer) then that might be a better place to spend time to start...
Anyway,
I have a model that I have refactored:
def email @weboe123 = WEBOEL23
The line above makes zero sense.
WEBOEL23.where(ACT223: act223).first.email
the error that it is returning is - NoMethodError (Undefined method 'email' for nil:NilClass): - does this mean that the email record is returning blank?
It means no records were found, so there's no 'first' to examine.
You might want to learn about using the console (irb, or better yet
pry) and trying out that line to see what it does, because I'd also bet
it's not what you're expecting 
Good luck,
