I'll need to try this with a simpler table and dictionary next week. The table and dictionary I'm working with now has about 50 fields, and the insert and update methods are working fine with that. I wrapped it all in a try/except/else statement with db.rollback() and db.commit() to help with some of the issues I was having, so I'll need to change my code to return exceptions or have web2py generate an error ticket.
I'll try it with a simpler table definition that I can safely share on the web, and will let you know what i find. Thanks for you help!
