Thank you! I was able to find the .class declaration via your search term. I guess I just didn't know that the "current_user" part was an object. I'm telling you - simple stuff. Luckily I've gotten far from using basic knowledge and hacking/stitching things together until they work. I hate it though - I'd love to know my programming was solid. I'm going to dedicate a few weeks to learning the basics to avoid more embarrassing situations like these. :-) -Tony -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
