Your example shows you attempting to use edit and update, which are two of the standard routes, though in routes.rb you appear to be usin :operator_profile but that should be plural :operator_profiles. I am not sure exactly what you want to do, but if you just want to say that you do not need the other routes then use resources :operator_profiles, :only => [:edit, :update] To see which routes you have defined then use rake routes If you have not already done so then have a good look at the Rails Guide on routing. It will explain the above and much more. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
