Brian and delocalizer I made the changes to the User model as you suggested but it made no difference to the dubug. The ChildComment and User tables are still not associated when I retrieve the comment data.
I think the missing link is I need to somehow define a belongsTo link from the ChildComment to the User model? How do I do this? Is this done in the comment.php model file or a new child_comment.php file? I had a look at the tree helper but I'm not sure how this will resove the problem of the association between the ChildComment and User models. It will build the relationships between each comment but I'm not sure how it will help with the association between the ChildComments and User data. I'll need to have a play with it and get back to you. Thanks for your help.

You'd likely want to do the same for, say, an Article model, > or whatever it is that these Comments belong to besides User. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
