This is my model code, its basically what you did: I am getting this error *<type 'exceptions.SyntaxError'> invalid table "fuelLogging" attributes: set(['before_update'])*
*MODEL CODE* def fuelLogging_before_update(*args, **kwargs): db.fuelLogging.compute = lambda r: (db.fuelLogging.ODO_Reading * -1) + r .ODO_Reading db.define_table('fuelLogging', Field('Quantity', 'integer', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()), Field('Rate', 'integer', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()), Field('Total', compute=lambda r:r['Quantity']*r['Rate']), Field('ODO_Reading', 'integer', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()), Field('Fuel_Usage', compute=lambda r: r['Delta']/r[ 'Quantity']), Field('Delta', default=0), before_update=fuelLogging_before_update) I guess i am doing something wrong somewhere!
