Assuming you know the basics of rendering a partial within a view (if not look at the guides at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/) then all you have to do is include a path in the render partial to tell it where it is. render :partial => "/somefolder/form" will look for views/somefolder/_form.html.erb Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
