Thanks, that fixed it. I think my difficulty is that, while has_many
generally makes sense semantically, belongs_to doesn't always. As long
as I think of it as "has_foreign_key_for" instead, it all works out
fine.
For example, in my case a contact has a foreign key to an address. The
address "belongs to" the contact (not the other way around), but I need
to use belongs_to in the model to build the proper relationship.
Thanks again for the help.
