Thanks a lot Michael I ended up doing your second suggestion, shying away from the rails magic since i couldn't seem to really control it.
Personally it seems most natural to me for rails to work the association magic when either the foreign key is changed or the direct association set method is called. I was hunting around and there's various discussions about this on rails development forums but i guess it never got resolved, or the rails gods decided against it. Anyway, thanks again for your advice. max -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
