If it is not saving it what is the point of the validation? I would suggest using ruby-debug to break into the controller just before the validation and check the value of std\_code. Colin ---

ok…in this case you can do validation in this way… validate :std\_code def std\_code errors.add( :std\_code ) if self.std\_code and self.std\_code.blank? end -Sandip R~ On Thu, Jun 4, 2009 at 8:46 PM, Colin L.
