Melvin thanks, actually my models are simplified...the switch of fk was a way of trying to use it at d front end so that I could provide an id to link em up...unfortunately I can't go around it since an instance of the model is not easily accessible cos its a new object not saved yet...I thought of using a widget form to add up a parent later but I think yingis suggestions are smoother
