Hi Michael You have to specify the association between division and requseraccount models
In your models directory: division.rb class Division < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :requseraccount end class Requseraccount < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :division end And now you can do the following in your controller and view: @req = Requseraccount.find(:all, :include => :division) @req.division.name # "division_name" You can read more about it at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/. And about associations in http://guides.rubyonrails.org/association_basics.html Regards Michael R wrote: > Hello, > > I am attempting to display data in the requseraccount form, from the > divisions table. > > For example: I have a division_id field in requseraccount that works > great.
