Subject: Why am I getting "undefined method" error?

Hi,

I have a model, in which I have defined a method ...

class Form < ActiveRecord::Base
        has_many :form_items
        validates_associated :form_items

...

        def self.has_items
                FormItem.count(:all, :conditions => ["form_id
= ?", :id])
        end
end


but when i try and call this method from another class,

        def new
                @form = Form.find_by_user_id(session[:user_id])
                if (@form == nil)
                        false
                else
                        @form.has_items
                end
        end


I'm getting the error below:

undefined method `has_items' for #<Form:0xb78f5e3c>

Any ideas?  Thanks, - Dave
