Without any code, it's hard to say. However, I have a legacy DB I'm working with that has an alphanumeric primary key, where the model includes: set_primary_key "product" # e.g. "E70211A" and this link generates an appropriate path: <%= link_to product.product_name, product_path(product.product) %> HTH, -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ [email protected] twitter: @hassan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
