I think the OP wants to know how to get around having 2 user_id fields in the join table. Have a look through here: http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/search?group=cake-php&q=self+habtm I think it should be something along these lines: in User model var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array( 'UserAsset' => array( 'className' => 'User', 'joinTable' => 'user_assets', 'foreignKey' => 'user_id', 'associationForeignKey' => 'access_user_id' ) ); --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
