You could set the error messages in the requires db.users.name.requires = IS_NOT_EMPTY(error_message = "Please enter your name") db.users.email.requires = [ IS_EMAIL(error_message="Given e-mail is not a valid one."), IS_NOT_IN_DB(db,'users.email',error_message="Sorry, this e-mail already exists in our database") ] create your form with the same field names and to check them do for n,v in request.vars.items(): rr=db.users[n].requires if isinstance(rr,list): t,e=v,None for r in rr: t,e=r(t) if e: break else: t,e=rr(v) if e: form.errors[n]=e # here do whatever you need to do with form.errors Denes -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
