...be great, and we *should* have requested this up front..." request. Grrr! Is there a reasonably elegant Rails-ish or Ruby-ish way to do this (bearing in mind the different date fieldnames in each table), or should I resort to something like: @eventsA = A.find(:all) @eventsB = B.find(:all) @eventsC = C.find(:all) @events_all = @eventsA.push(@eventsB).push(@eventsC) @events_all.each do |event| try # See if the datedue field exists in this record; rescue if not... if event.datedue ... which is *really* ugly? Thanks in advance Dave M.
