I have a weird problem going on. All of sudden, records for a certain model will not save with #save Please take a look at this:

p = Payment.new(:payment_reason_id => 1, :payment_method_id => 1, :date => Date.today, :amount => '5.00', :payable => Student.find(608))

=> #<Payment id: nil, school_id: nil, payment_reason_id: 1, payment_method_id: 1, date: "2008-05-25", amount: #<BigDecimal: 46958f8,'0.5E1',4(8)>, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil, invoice_id: nil, creator: nil, check_number: nil, payable_type: "Student", payable_id: 608>

p.valid?

=> false

p.school_id = 1 # school_id is attr_protected

=> 1

p.valid?

=> true

p.save

=> nil

p.save!

=> nil

p.save_with_validation

=> true

Why is save returning nil? Why is save_with_validation working?

I have a Tuition model that is very similar to the Payment model and it does not have this problem. Please help.

Does your model have a method or association called transaction ?

Wow Frederick I feel like an idiot! That completely skipped my mind because I have a has_many :transactions on another model and of course that doesn't cause complications. Thanks for the help!
