model-attribute

Hi all,

Today I've got a problem when I tried using following code to alter the model attribute in the controller

function userlist($trigger = 1)
{
    if($trigger == 1)
    {
        $this->User->useTable = 'betausers'; //'betausers' is completely the same structure as table 'users'
    }
    $users = $this->User->find('all');
    debug($users);
}

And the model file is

class User extends AppModel
{
    var $name = "User";
    //var $useTable = 'betausers';

    function beforeFind()   //only for debug
    {
        debug($this->useTable);
    }
}

The debug message in the model showed the userTable attribute had been changed to betausers.And It was supposed to show all records in table betausers.However,I still got the data in the users,which quite confused me.And I hope someone can show me some directions to solve this problem.

Regards
