This is the error that keeps appearing. I don’t understand why  
“@tblusers” is not correct. Can anyone help?

NoMethodError in Tblregisteredphone#new

Showing app/views/tblregisteredphone/new.rhtml where line #20 raised:

What does the code for the “new” method in your controller say? I can  
only assume that @tblusers isn’t being set properly there, but if you  
post the method then we can help more.

Thanks,

The code for my “new” method in the controller is as follows:

```
def new
	@tblregisteredphone = Tblregisteredphone.new
	@tbluser = Tbluser.find_all
end

```

Thanks David,

Ah - the problem is that you set @tbluser in your controller, but then  
use @tblusers in the view! Pretty easy to fix 🙂

Can we see some code? What do the spec and the view look like?
