I appreciate your reply, but your method does not always work. If there has been a newly created associated record, the before_update_save does not know about the new associated record until after the associated record is created. The associated record seems to be created sometime after the before_update_save is run. We are also talking here about a through relationship where I'm working with the join table and setting an attribute on the join table, and setting the associated record to the join table. It would just be far more simple and easier for ActiveScaffold to run the AS call backs on the associated model. Also, the code I want to run has nothing to do with the join table, but is specific to the associated record its self. The solution I found yesterday is to look at the params. If there is record[association][id] parameter, then I assume new association record. I set a session variable that gets checked in the after_update_save. I'm still having trouble with this method actually saving the associated record, but it is about the only logical alternative at this point. I should also mention that I am running rails 2.3.2 Any further thoughts on this? Thanks a million.
