Have a look at the docs for ActiveRecord::Errors. If you call ".save!" it will raise an exception (if that's what you want), otherwise, you can inspect the errors object on an unsuccessful save to find out what went wrong. http://ar.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Errors.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
