[Rails] Re: Noob: Child records not saved

[Gerard Petersen (Planet)]

Guys,

A friggin' typo. It was the difference in column names in the database. Leaves 
me with another discussion. Would I consider "first name" one or to words .. 
@-)

No seriously. It gets tricky now. The source of the copied fname and lname the 
contact. Has a belongs_to to a table called company. Of which I also want the 
name.

Don't need you to work for me .. :-) 

But should I then invoke a @company = Company.new to end up with something 
like

@project.project_contact["company_name"] = contact.company['name']

Anyway .. Thanx a lot for your brainpower.

Regards,

Gerard
