Multiple csv file upload based on data in a form

I’m a newbie

I have a form. Based on the data supplied in the form, the user must upload either one or two files of data which is used to validate the data on the form. I think I need to use sub forms to load the data files. My problem is I don’t know if this is the right way to go, or how to implement nested forms in rails 2.0

Any help appreciated.

Could you be a little more specific? Maybe show a little code?

Anyways, virtual attributes or multi-object forms might be what you’re looking for. Ryan Bates covers complex forms in detail in some of his screencasts:
http://railscasts.com/episodes/73
http://railscasts.com/episodes/74
http://railscasts.com/episodes/75
http://railscasts.com/episodes/16

As far as I know, Rails 2 doesn’t really add anything specific to this basic stuff, but I could be wrong.
