First, I'd make sure you are successfully selecting the record you think you are selecting, and there is no harm in being verbose until it works. For example, you might try: my_row = db(personal_data.uid == auth.user_id).select().first() response.flash = my_row.age
if that seems to work, response.flash = db(personal_data.uid == auth.user_id).select().first().age (such code works) but this db.personal_data(uid=auth.user.id) doesn't select a record.
