You are using the return value of save. in the case when your rescue block is invoked, the return value of save is what your rescue clause evaluates to and it would seem that errors.add_to_base always evaluates to something true. You need to return false from that block (which your puts statement does since puts always evaluates to nil) Fred --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
