Thank you for the help, Max - I am making progress, but still have
an issue I cannot figure out.
The reason I was hard coding the form is because when I used the
form_for, I was getting unexpected results and errors (I cannot
remember now what they were). But now that I go back to using
form_for, I get an error like this:
Unknown action
No action responded to 3. Actions: create, edit, index, new, and
update
(In this case, 3 is the id of my Customer. If I select a different
customer, I get that id in the error message.)
Any ideas on that error?
Thanks again,
Steve
