I’ve taken a look at your code twice, and this is the only thing that
jumped out
at me…

You’re redirect_to action is trying to assign the entire Receipt record
as the
:id. Try changing it to “:id => @receipt.id”.

Hi Brian,

I regenerated my app and it seems to work on my mac.
I am going to try it on my windows pc at work on Monday.

Hi Frank,

I’m just curious. Do you get anything returned with
@receipt = Receipt.find(params[:id])

On the initial load of the form the params[:id] will be present, but is
it
present when the form is submitted to the update action?

Cheers
