I could be completely wrong, but my understanding was that formSETS was an attempt at providing a way to control an applications forms, and also to provide some communication between forms...kind of a supra-form, or form-parent object reference.
formset.form1.textbox.value=1 formset.form2.textbox.value=formset.form1.textbox.value ?formset.form2.textbox.value would then show "1" But, regardless, they were always a lot of trouble and best avoided at all costs.
