OK Guys, I think I understand the problem now. We've got to populate the join- table with the ID of the new Expanse record and the ID of the selected Vendor record.
Heretofore, I thought using vendor instead of Fred's vendor_id was cool because: 1. It didn't crash the new Expense record 2. It populated the Expense vendor field with the ID of the selected vendor. Only now do I see that our goal is to populate the join-table. My idea of qualifying vendor_id as expenses_vendor/:vendor didn't fly. But you guys sound like you've got enough experience in Rails to see through this problem. I keeping my fingers crossed. > Best wishes to you both, > Richad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
