Is “id” and “from\_date” the fields in table t\_projects? Do you want to  
insert data  
into this table or edit the current data?

It is possible… In the controller u first find the fields from the  
table and store it in an instance variable.

@t\_project= TProject.find(id) // id will be the id of the field u want  
to find

then in the view:  
\<%= text\_field “t\_project”, “id” %\>  
\<%= text\_field “t\_project”, “from\_data” %\>

this will populate the text box with the value in the table
