Hi Folks, I'm totally confused - I have 3 tables
search, pickup_search and dropoff_search pickup_search and dropoff_search are nearly identical and each contain the search_id key. My Models are as follows. class Search < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :pickup_search has_one :dropoff_search end class PickupSearch < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :searches end class DropoffSearch < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :searches end So what I want to do is create a new search, then a new pickup_search and a new dropoff_search. I tried in my controllers new method to do def new @search = Search.new @search.pickup_search.new @search.dropoff_search.new end however it throws the error when creating a new pickup and dropoff search NoMethodError (You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! However if I change the relationship in search to has_many it works!!! However for any given 'search' there will only be one pickup_search and dropoff_Search so it shouldn't be a has_many relationship... or am I modelling this incorrectly (FYI the pickup_search and dropoff_date contains date/destination info) Any help much appreciated!
