Thanks for the tip Commander.
I figured it out.

I was needing to do a validates_associated but I didn't want the error 
message to appear in my view. My answer to this at the time was to 
remove the error message once the object had been validated.

However a much better way was to write my own validate statement

def validate
  return false unless self.associated_object.valid?
end

This way I'm checking that the associated object is valid without 
generating the errors in the first place.

I love the rails validates helpers so much that I forget I can do 
validation myself and get all the control I'll ever need.

Cheers
Tom
