Yeah, been a long day it should be: db.define_table( 'contact', Field <http://www.web2py.com/examples/global/vars/Field>('name'), Field <http://www.web2py.com/examples/global/vars/Field>('address'), format = '%(name)s')
db.define_table( 'courses' , Field <http://www.web2py.com/examples/global/vars/Field>('student_id',db.contact), Field <http://www.web2py.com/examples/global/vars/Field>('course_name'), Field <http://www.web2py.com/examples/global/vars/Field>('pass_mark', 'text'), format = '%(name)s') The reference in the table courses should be db.contact.
