Hi Everyone,

I am trying to create a form wizard that allows users to submit Travel Request information.  We have 7 different travel request types that each have their own record type.  This functionality works correctly using the Case object, but when I try using our Travel_Request__c custom object it is not saving the record.  Any help would be greatly appreciated !!  Listed below is my controller

public class TravelRequestController {
    public Travel_Request__c newtravelrequest {get;set;}
    public String recordtype{get;set;}
    public String AccPC{get;set;}
    public String CaseOrigin = 'Web';
    
    public TravelRequestController() {
      newtravelrequest = new Travel_Request__c();
}  
    
    //Submits the Travel Request   
    public PageReference SubmitTravelRequest() {
        
        //Query for the Case record types
        List<RecordType> rTypes = [SELECT Id FROM RecordType WHERE Name = :recordtype and isActive=true];
            if(!rTypes.isEmpty())  {
            //Id accid;
            //Decimal decpc = decimal.valueOf(AccPC);      
            newtravelrequest.recordtypeId=rTypes[0].Id; 
            
/* ****** CURRENT LOCATION ******     
       //Current Location
       List<Account> lcc = [select id, Name, PC__c from Account where PC__c = :decpc];    
           if (null!=lcc && lcc.size()>0)
               {
            accid = lcc[0].id;
            newtravelrequest.AccountId = accid;
            }  

    //Sets New Location for drop down menu
    newtravelrequest.New_Location__c = NewPC;
*/    
  
    try
    {         
      insert newtravelrequest; // inserts the new travel request into the database
      newtravelrequest = new Travel_Request__c();        
    }
    catch(DmlException ex){
        ApexPages.addMessages(ex);
    }    
    }      
        PageReference travelrequest = new PageReference('/apex/CaseConfirmation'); 
        travelrequest.setRedirect(true);

    return travelrequest;
    }
}

 and here is the visualforce page

<apex:page Controller="TravelRequestController" tabStyle="Account" sidebar="false" showHeader="false">
<apex:sectionHeader title="HHS Receptionists" subtitle="Submit A Travel Request"/>
    <apex:form id="myForm">
        <apex:pageBlock title="Travel Request: Flight and Lodging">
            <apex:pageBlockButtons location="bottom">
                     <!--<apex:commandButton action="{!SubmitTravelRequest}" value="Submit Travel Request" immediate="true"/> -->

                    <apex:actionStatus id="actionstatus">
                        <apex:facet name="start">
                            <apex:commandButton value="Processing..." disabled="true" />
                        </apex:facet>
                        
                        <apex:facet name="stop">
                            <apex:commandButton id="SubmitButton" action="{!SubmitTravelRequest}" value="Submit Request" status="actionstatus" reRender="myForm">           
                                <apex:param assignTo="{!newtravelrequest.recordtype}" name="rtype" value="Flight_Lodging" id="rtype"/>
                            </apex:commandButton>                       
                        </apex:facet>
                    </apex:actionStatus>  
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>
             <apex:messages style="color:#FF0000;"/>     
        <table>
            <tr>
                <th>Your Name: </th>
                <td><apex:inputField required="true" value="{!newtravelrequest.Check_In_Date__c}"/></td>
            </tr>           
                </table>
         </apex:pageBlock>                
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

 here is the query for the working record type query on the case object

List<RecordType> rTypes = [SELECT Id FROM RecordType WHERE Name = :recordtype and sObjectType='Case' and isActive=true];
            if(!rTypes.isEmpty())  {
            Id accid;
            Decimal decpc = decimal.valueOf(AccPC);      
            newcase.recordtypeId=rTypes[0].Id; 

 I tried it with sObjectType='Travel_Request__c but that did not work so I removed it to see if that would resolve it but that made no difference.

Thank you in advance for your help!!
