Thanks Ted I've been spending all day debugging this, and I can confirm that my relationships are all over the place + I had some legacy columns in my table that should not have been there anymore. Basically it would refuse to save my record because it expected more fields.
It's tough developing a db driven app with only the most basic knowledge of dbs :/ But well I'm learning and making progress, so there's that. And I've managed to save a record at last, although I'm far from out of the woods. Cheerio, and thanks for all the help.
