Rails - Apr 2006 - error using find() method "couldn''t find"

I get the following error-message:
"Couldn''t find Activitycategory with ID=1"

How do I make RoR handle this error?
When the id is nog found he should return a string or 0 or whatever.

I''m guessing by using exceptions but I''m not very familiar
with ruby
itself ...

Help?

Steven.

Yes, you have to catch the exception raised by the #find method :

begin
  Activitycategory.find(1)
rescue RecordNotFound
  # handle the error
  # wish a flash[] message or whatever...
end
