Adapters are actual ActiveRecord adapters. There's no msaccess adapter

Persist that information to some other storage engine on your server, per

It can sorta be done but you will need a Windows server running with Office
installed on it. You'll then host part of the app there, use some mechanism
to trigger the word doc build on that machine. You use Win32OLE Ruby
libraries to make Word do your bidding.
The real reason is that Ruby is open-source, mostly volunteer, and most
people who make things in Ruby don't tend to use Windows. For example, I am

That's just not how Rails works. Your form posted to the Create action,

Check your app's source. Look for anything dealing with asset_host. My

asset_host will do that if you tell it to.
