Please check the API docs (http://api.rubyonrails.org/) first for things like this. update_attribute: Updates a single attribute and saves the record without going through the normal validation procedure. I expect if you're calling update_attribute 12 times you're doing something wrong; either call update_attributes with a hash, or set each attribute individually: @profileinfo.first_name = params[:profileinfo][:first_name] @profileinfo.last_name = params[:profileinfo][:last_name] @profileinfo.save Even better, look into the use of attr_protected and attr_accessible and just use a mass assignment: @profileinfo.update_attributes(params[:profileinfo]) -Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
