Just wanted to give you a bit of encouragement. I can’t help you with your problem because I haven’t worked that far yet, but I was reading it on the train this morning and it does seem complicated.

I don’t always like the way John McCreesh names the fields and tables – I’m thinking I’ll change the ‘items’ table to ‘tasks’ which is more meaningful to me. If you changed any names that could be giving you troubles …?

Let me know how you get on, and I’ll be in touch again once I get that far with my coding to let you know if it works for me.

I’ve thought of a possibility … is it in your controller?

You know where you add a ‘rescue’ to cope with an invalid date (page 27) I had problems because I forgot to put a ‘begin’. It took me a while to figure that one out!

So it goes begin – rescue – end. Might be worth checking that.
