OK. I want to jump back in here to make sure that Bill doesn't think that he did offend me with his comments. He definitely did not. I welcome all of the help that I can get and Bill's comments are not only valid but contain a lot of help. None the less, I also agree with you, Colin, in that Bill's comments really offer no explanation as to how the object manages to mutate between the two uses of it. What I'm trying to do at the moment is to clean things up by following Bill's suggestions. It's much easier to troubleshoot in the controller than it is in the view. I expect that by using that approach I will ultimately get things to work as desired. Unfortunately, the downside of that approach is that I may never understand why my code (bad as it may have been) didn't work. That's a bit unsettling. Anyway, I continue to work on this issue. I will report back to the list once I have something to report. As always, thanks to all for the help. ... doug --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
