Hmm, just changing the model name from Request to AppRequest doesn't seem to have done it.
I tried to leave the (many) associations pointing to AppRequest (nee Request) the same, but specify a :class_name and :foreign_key. It sounds like maybe "request" as the name of an assocation, even when not the name of the model, is a no-no too? Man, that lengthy lengthy list of reserved words, which wasn't really official documentation anyway and seems to be have been discovered only by experimentation... is leading to one of those times I'm less happy with ruby/rails. I've got a lot of refactoring to do. Changing the many association names to this model every time they are used is not going to be fun. Jonathan Jonathan Rochkind wrote: > Thanks a lot Chris.
