Also you already have assessment has_many data_entries so you can say @data_entries = @assessment.data_entries Therefore you can get direct from a reason to the associated data_entries using @data_entries = @reason.assessment.data_entries No need for an additional join table. Have a look at the Rails Guide on Associations for more detail. You might also like to work through the tutorial at railstutorial.org (which is free to use online) which should cover this and all the other basics of Rails.
