Here's another idea to play with, though. Give each field a distinct name, e.g., assessment_end_date and assessment_end_time. When the form is submitted, combine them. Here's a rudimentary way it could be done: assessment.end_at = DateTime.parse("#{params[assessment_end_date]} #{params[assessment_end_time]}") Good luck, Craig ------=_Part_17760_19018480.1204581788222--
