LoL! Yeah, I am guessing I started out not too far from something that was doing what I wanted until now, I have gradually moved further and further away from stuff that looks to me like it should work as python code. I've even managed to turn code that was working into code that is broken somehow... At the moment this bit of code is about validating that stuff was entered into the form properly, and about doing something with some types of form inputs and not others. I try all sorts of things and they just give me exception errors. And I just don't know what use to make of advice that says stuff like "The form is not a dictionary." :( I have spent the whole weekend doing searches and reading tutorials on this before I posted, I have a form that I get working and doing most of what I want. It is just the last bits that I can't figure out, and the tutes don't seem to cover the stuff I am trying to do. O well, I guess I will go bang my head against it or a few more days and then hopefully an answer will show up in my brain somewhere. Thanks for your help.
