Yeah, been a long day it should be:

db.define_table(
    'contact',
    Field <http://www.web2py.com/examples/global/vars/Field>('name'),
    Field <http://www.web2py.com/examples/global/vars/Field>('address'),
    format = '%(name)s')

db.define_table(
    'courses'
,
    Field 
<http://www.web2py.com/examples/global/vars/Field>('student_id',db.contact),
    Field <http://www.web2py.com/examples/global/vars/Field>('course_name'),
    Field <http://www.web2py.com/examples/global/vars/Field>('pass_mark',
'text'),
    format = '%(name)s')

The reference in the table courses should be db.contact.
