I'm a bit further. Now I'm using (in the helper)

select_date record[:geboortedatum], :prefix =>
'record_geboortedatum', :order => [:day, :month, :year], :start_year
=> 1970, :end_year => 2000

This makes the code for the select like this (note the name field):
---------------%<---------------
<select id="record_geboortedatum_day"
name="record_geboortedatum[day]">
---------------%<---------------

Without the override in the helper (which does save the values in the
DB):
---------------%<---------------
<select id="record_geboortedatum_1i" name="record[geboortedatum(1i)]">
---------------%<---------------

My code gives the value in a hash (record_geboortedatum[day]). It
SHOULD give the value back in a hash(?) which is itself in the record
hash. (record[geboortedatum(1i)])

How can I achieve this little miracle???

Greetings & Salutations,
Ger.
