I am surprised it works, I would have expected Rails to look for table accounts_users, unless you are specifying has_many through, rather than HABTM. > the association seems to be working fine, e.g. > when i do > > @user.account That should be @user.accounts.

You need something like @user.account[0].acc_name, or @user.account.first.acc_name. If you still can't work it out post the class definitions with the association specifications (copy and paste from your code so as to avoid confusing typos).
