> Post back if you have any more problems. Thanks for your generous offer. So here's my last (I hope) stumbling block. I got:
NoMethodError in Expenses#new Showing app/views/expenses/new.html.erb where line #14 raised: undefined method `merge' for :nickname:Symbol Extracted source (around line #14): 11: <%# New version of vendor selection -%> 12: <% params[:expense] = 10 -%> 13: <% @vendors = Vendor.find( :all, :order=>"nickname ASC") -%> 14: <%= f.collection_select(:vendor, :id, @vendors, :id, :nickname) %> 15: <%# End of New version -%> 16: 17: <%#= f.collection_select(:vendor, @vendors, :id, :nickname) %> But the claim about nickname being bogus seems suspicious to me. For one thing: >> Vendor.find(:first) => #<Vendor id: 62, nickname: "vendor 5/15/2010", qbname: "Test new field names", [snip] And the arguments seem to agree with http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormOptionsHelper.html, particularly the guidance for the public instant method: collection_select(object, method, collection, value_method, text_method, options = {}, html_options = {}) Any ideas?
