I didn't think of checking the log, very useful tip! I need to use the incident_id that's being passed to find the timesheet. I tried: @timesheet = Incident.find(params[:id]).timesheet "Couldn't find Incident without an ID". I checked by hardcoding it: @timesheet = Incident.find(1).timesheet That did work, so it must be params[:id] that's not working. The log says that incident_id is being passed as a param though. Started GET "/incidents/1/timesheet" for 127.0.0.1 at 2010-12-14 12:33:48 -0500 Processing by TimesheetsController#show as HTML Parameters: {"incident_id"=>"1"} -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
