Do you know how to use web2py's DAL to make a query which joins tables? 

http://www.web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer#Inner-joins

Once you do, give that query to SQLFORM.grid 
Note that you need to understand what exactly a DAL "query" is. The term is 
subtly different from what you may expect if you are thinking of SQL 
queries. 
A DAL query on its own does not return rows: a DAL query defines what is to 
be selected (such as what the join is) but on its own is simply an 
expression, not a set of data.

I found this a little confusing at the beginning: 'query' is a DAL formal 
term which does not by itself include returned data. The DAL uses the term 
"set" when the query is put in the context of a database. 
http://www.web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer#Query--Set--Rows

The grid needs only a DAL query, not a set of rows.

http://www.web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07/forms-and-validators#SQLFORM-grid
"The first argument of SQLFORM.grid can be a table or a query. The grid 
object will provide access to records matching the query."
