Thanks Jon Bennett and frankcy06l for the suggestions. I actually did have:
if (empty($this->data)) { $this->render(); } I didn't include it in my post, as I just wanted to show what I thought was relevant. Francky06l, in looking at the examples, I don't believe it's required to list Form and Html in the controller. I did replace the <form action> with <?php echo $form....?> and I added in the controller: // SAVE UNSUCESSFUL // validate model errors $this->validateErrors($this->Account); // pass data back to view $this->set('data', $this->data); // render form again $this->render(); Unfortunately, it still doesn't work and I'm still not getting any error message. This is baffling. At first I had a lot of fields in the table, but I now have just first and last name to keep it simple. As the pr($this->data) shows, the Account array has data, but when the save() gets executed, I don't see any INSERT statement when I have debug set to 2. So it's like the save() doesn't even attempt to insert, but I don't know what else to check in my setup that could cause this.
