Hi guys,  
I have two tables.  
Table1: output\_columns (3 columns)  
Table2: file\_datas (2 columns)  
In any table I can search, show, edit data. But how can I insert data in  
two table?  
In my input form there are 5 input fields. I want to input 3 data in  
table1 and last 2 data in table2. In the OutputColumnsController (the  
controller of table1) I have written the following code  
def create  
@output\_column = OutputColumn.new(params[:output\_column])  
if @output\_column.save  
flash[:notice] = ‘OutputColumn was successfully created.’  
redirect\_to :action =\> ‘list’  
else  
render :action =\> ‘new’  
end  
end  
By this code I can save in the table1. But how can I handle the  
input data in table2?  
Plz help me.

Amin
