I don't understand completely the flow of the process... do you have two submitt buttons, one for "autocomplete" and the other for "final submit?
I am not very sure, but here are my thoughts: What I would do is use SQLFORM.factory something like this: new_post_form = SQLFORM.factory(db.posts) if new_thread_form.process().accepted: if (autocomplete): Do your process, and save it in the form.vars else: Do the final update using db(****).update(****) And check this topic too to return the prepolutaded form, keeping the values that you processed after "if (autocomplete)" -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
