Can you also post the table definitions? (Simplified, if necessary.)

Do you need both user_company_map and user_company_branch_map tables? IOW, does a record in user_company_map mean that a user has access to all branches of a particular company? To none? Just to the "main office", which is not a branch? What does it mean to have a user_company_map record but no user_company_branch_map record? > I end up with: > > Can't locate object method "add_restricted_branches" via package > "M::Company::User" > > Methods for the following relationships and foreign keys were deferred and > then never actually created in the class M::Company::User. > > TYPE NAME > ---- ---- > Relationship restricted_branches That error means that the "restricted_branches" relationship that you tried to define in M::Company::User never had sufficient information to actually connect both ends. In this case: > restricted_branches => { > type => 'one to many', > class => 'M::Company::User::Branch', > }, it's because you forgot to include a column_map in your relationship definition. Change that to: restricted_branches => { type => 'one to many', class => 'M::Company::User::Branch', column_map => { username => 'username', company_code => 'company_code', }, }, and $company_user->add_restricted_branches() should now work. Though I hope that solves your immediate problem, I still think the table layout is not quite right. But maybe I don't quite understand the business relationships... -John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
