ooo.... good question - don't know without testing it... >> User.new(:username => "fred") => #<User id: nil, role_detail_id: nil, title: "FRED", first_name: nil, last_name: nil> yup, looks that way. But more to the point, I don't like changing users' input before storing it in the DB. We've shown how you *can* do it, and you've said you *need* to, but I'd wonder whether that's really a *want* to... either way... it works either way. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
