...at says Calander.setup: Nothing to setup (no fields found). Please check your code. I''m following the same procedure I used before that allows two dateboxs on a single form. ie. In my partial view (_form.rhtml) I have: <td><%= @date_field1=@table.date_field1 %><%= date_box(''date_field1'') %> In my controller I updated my update and create methods to have: @table.date_field1 = params[:date_field1] Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century

I have just set up RoR to find out for myself if this tool is stable enough to actually be used yet. Anyhow, I started by going to the RubyOnRails website and following the instructions to install the platform on my Windows 2000 PC.
