Well its during the creation of an advert that the relevant field in
appointments would need to be updated so it seemed like the best place to do
it

You've got create() in the wrong place. That should come first, if
it's included at all. See the API:
http://api.cakephp.org/class/model#method-Modelcreate
$this->Advert->Appointment->create(array('Appointment' => array('id'
=> $appointment_id)));
That will initialize the instance with the appropriate id.
Actually, why are you calling create() on Advert, instead of
Appointment? I'm guessing there's more to this method.

Re: updating a value when user clicks a link
Thanks Cricket,
I added that code as you suggested. While it doesnt cause any errors it
doesnt seem to modify the field data either.
what I have is:
function add($appointment_id = null){
//existing code
$this->Advert->Appointment->id = $appointment_id;
$this->Advert->Appointment->saveField('appointment_status', 'Order');
$this->Advert->create();
}
does that look about right?
And yeah your right i should change it to status

Assuming there's an association between Advert and Appointment:
$this->Advert->Appointment->id = $id;
$this->Advert->Appointment->saveField('appointment_status', 'ordered');
BTW, why don't you name the field just 'status'? Seems a bit redundant.
