why''s my course_duration being reset

Can''t get this?...I''m close I think, my calculation appears to
be
working, but.... when i access duration = <%= @enquiry.course_duration
%><br> in my final view it''s blank.. course_duration is
getting set to
null but works for the calculation?

Are you under the impression that course_duration will be save to the  
database? it won''t (it''s just a regular instance variable
rather then
an activerecord attribute).

Re: why''s my course_duration being reset

Sorry Fred,

Noted re the tip... here''s a few lines from the view...

<%= @enquiry.course.name %><br>
base price per week = <%= @enquiry.course.price_per_week %><br>
duration = <%= @enquiry.course_duration %><br>  <--- The Line
that''s
null
@enquiry.course_booking_fee : <%= @enquiry.course_booking_fee %><br>

and yes, I thought course_duration would be saved, or to put it another 
way, I''d like it to be?

enquiries contains a column called "course_duration" of type integer.

In that case the problem is that you''ve got  
attr_accessor :course_duration. This is replacing the accessor methods  
that read/write from the database column with one that don''t (ie just  
plain old ruby accessor methods backed by an instance variable)
