Renaming the column isn't an option because other code (outside of 
rails) depends on it being "account" instead of "account_id". But I did 
add a column called "account_id" and copied the data from "account" to 
"account_id". I then changed the code to use "account_id" instead of 
"account". This gets around the problem!

The problem is that I would really like to keep the field as "account". 
I have lots of other code that depends on it being called "account". 
Changing the field to "account_id" would be a major hassle. When 
choosing rails I didn't realize this would be a problem because I 
thought the "foreign_key" option would take care of this for me.

So I would GREATLY appreciate anyone that could clue me into why this 
problem is showing up so I could look for a work-around.

Thanks,

Eric
