Sounds like you're interested in the objects.get_or_create() method which you can then update as needed. You can then just save the resulting object. http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/models/get_or_create/ And just an aside to the Django Docs folks...thanks for such great docs! It seems that just about every answer I've given over the last couple months contains a direct link into the help docs where the solution is detailed. Sure, there are still a couple weak areas such as "fixtures for dummies", but on the whole, the docs are nigh sublime. -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
