Thanks for your help LightDot.   It's nice to be pointed in direction after 
several days of getting nothing done.

One question on hidden fields that I'm missing -- as I have everything 
working except for hiding the field from the user.

<Model>
db.define_table('table',
                Field('field_hidden', 'string'),
                Field('field_not_hidden', 'string'))

<Controller>
grid = SQLGRID

If request.args(0) in ['new]:
    response.view = 'default/custom_edit.html'
    form = SQLFORM(db.table, hidden={'field_hidden':0})
    forms.vars.field_hidden = request.vars.field_hidden

    if form.process(onvalidation=form_validation).accepted:
        redirect to appropriate page

def form_validation(form):
    
    modify form.vars as needed
    form.accepted = True


Everything works except I am unable to hide the field 'field_hidden' on the 
customer SQLFORM with the hidden attribute (hidden={'field_hidden':0}). The 
field is just shown as normal.    Triple checked the field spelling, etc.   
If I use db.table.field_hidden.readable, .writable = False, it is not 
shown, but I am then unable to change the field values in the 
form_validation function... 

Not sure what I'm missing with the hidden syntax....   Any help is 
appreciated.
