Anthony, doesn't there have to be some sort of pointer to the correct 
reference record in the lookup table?

Here is a real example below (different fields and table than first 
example).

I tried to put "db.Country" in front of the lookup table field names, but 
the syntax is wrong.  Now that you can see the lookup table, could you 
please write out the complete syntax?

in '%(db.Country.countryTelephoneCode)s %(db.Country.countryName)s'

db.define_table('Country', ## Lookup table
Field('countryName','string'), 
Field('countryCode','string'),
Field('countryTelephoneCode','integer'))
## 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
db.define_table('PhoneNumber',
Field('countryTelephoneCode','reference Country'), 
Field('telephoneNumber','integer'))
## ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
db.PhoneNumber.countryTelephoneCode.represent = lambda v, r: 
'%(db.Country.countryTelephoneCode)s 
%(db.Country.countryName)s' % r

Thanks,

Alex
