there's no 'magic' method called 'unpaid', there's only: first - grabs a single record all - grabs all records threaded - grabs a simple tree list - gets a name/value pair array what you want to do is easy though, with a single call, try: $this->Account->Behaviors->attach('Containable'); $account = $this->Account->find('first', array( 'conditions'=>array('Account.id' => $account_id), 'contain'=>array( 'Payment'=>array('conditions'=>array( 'Payment.status'=>'pending' ))) )); hth jon -- jon bennett w: http://www.jben.net/ iChat (AIM): jbendotnet Skype: jon-bennett --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
