Michele, Thanks so much for this.
I tried to remove the select action and change the view as suggested but that wasn't working. So, I experimented with the redirect from the select action to the index a couple of times. I removed the request.vars.id, from the redirect and now it's working! The redirect looks like this now: redirect(URL('index', args=[request.vars.page])) So it's working! Thanks again very much! I really appreciate it.
