Hi Walter,

Thanks for your comments.

at any point here do you instantiate a new instance of your model,
assign the params to it, and try to save it? Until you try to save, your
validations won't fire.

>> I didn't instantiate a new instance of my model. When i try to instantiate
@record = Record.new(params[:record])
fires an error "wrong number of arguments ( 1 for 0) "
I have removed the default new definition, as i thought i dont need
it(im not storing the info in a DB, but processing the form data)

You might want to look at a vanilla scaffold controller and see how it's
done canonically before you reinvent the wheel. There are separate
create and update methods for a reason.
