When you say it does not work what do you mean? If it is just a syntax error that is because you have not got the syntax for 'if' right, it should be if params[:completed] == "Yes" ..... end Note however that you are doing it *after* the record is saved, which happens in update_attributes. If you are trying to do it before the save then move it up to before the update. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
