James, thanks for the quick reply! Ok, I like what you have there, but it doesn't solve the problem of when I want to edit an existing record, how do I use the customform? I guess I'm just missing something super simple here, no?
I would think code like instance = objects.get(id=1) form = OrderForm(instance) does this get me the form filled with the data from instance?
