Hi I have 2 questions: I want to validate that 3 fields together must be unique. e.g - first_name, last_name and birth_date. To ensure 2 fields are unique as a group I can do this: validates_uniqueness_of :first_name, :scope => "last_name" 1) How do I add the third term so that all three are checked together? Just to ensure my question is clear: ---John Smith DOB 4/4/1970 and John Smith DOB 4/4/1980 would be allowed but not if all three fields matched. 2) How do I set it to highlight all three fields but only output one message like "First name, last name & birth date must be unique" Thanks, Dewey
