Thanks for the responses. > db.student.student_id.requires=IS_NOT_IN_DB(db,'student.student_id') > db.tasks.student.requires=IS_IN_DB(db,'student.id','%(student_id)s') > db.tasks.student.represent=lambda id: db.student[id].student_id
This seems to accomplish what I was trying to do, thanks. However, I'm in the dark as to what some of the syntax is. In the second line, I know that the third argument has something to do with how the drop down box chooses it's contents, but I do not understand the syntax of '%(student_id)s'. Also, in the 3rd line I do not know what "lambda id: " is doing. If this is standard python fare, then I apologise as I'm still learning python and all it's syntax tricks. Thanks again. Also sorry massimo is you see this twice, I think I hit reply to author instead of reply. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
